Smartphone Myths vs. Facts: Do More Megapixels and RAM Really Matter?

More Megapixels Mean a Better Camera
Fact: Camera quality is not determined by megapixels alone. Sensor size, aperture, and image processing also play a crucial role. For example, Apple and Google phones feature 12MP cameras, yet their quality surpasses many 108MP cameras.

More RAM Means a Faster Phone
Fact: More RAM does not necessarily make a phone faster. If the processor is weak, even higher RAM won’t improve performance. Many phones come with 12GB RAM, but Apple’s iPhones with just 6GB RAM often perform better.

Overnight Charging Damages the Battery
Fact: Modern smartphones use lithium-ion batteries with built-in overcharge protection. Once the battery reaches 100%, charging stops automatically, preventing any damage.

Smartphone Radiation is Harmful to Health
Fact: According to the WHO and FCC, smartphone radiation is “non-ionizing,” meaning there is no scientific evidence linking it to cancer or other diseases.
