Smartphone advertisements in 8K and 144Hz. The difference between 8K and 4K smartphone recordings is negligible.

Utilizing High-Resolution Cameras

Confusing Battery Status

Before buying a phone, check its wattage online. Smartphone manufacturers advertise their battery specs in various ways, such as error, limited charging cycles, and wattage drawn minus wattage used.

Ignoring Important Details

However, whether or not this device is impressive is determined by its built-in chipset.

Use of AI in Feature Names

Check the smartphone's real-time performance.

Dismiss this smartphone myth. When buying a smartphone, look beyond specs.
