5 common misconceptions about smartphones you should not make when buying

Cát Tiên (THEO hindustantimes) |

Choosing a smartphone is not just about choosing a high-confficiency phone. Users should evaluate the overall performance, software, brand reliability and after-sales services.

RAM is not always as good as it gets

One common misconception is that RAM has many meanings for fast phones. In fact, RAM helps keep the application running, but performance also depends on the processor, RAM speed and software optimization.

A device with 8GB of RAM but a powerful processor chip and well-ryth incubated software will work more stably than a device with 16GB of RAM but lacking optimization.

Strong chip is not necessarily necessary

Not everyone needs high-end chips like the Snapdragon 8 Elite or Apple A18 Pro. Mid-range chip lines, such as the Snapdragon 7 or MediaTek Dimensity 8,000, are enough to do common tasks: surfing the web, watching videos, social networks. The actual experience depends more on optimizability than on technical specifications.

Many cameras and megapixel but do not guarantee beautiful photos

The more megapixel or camera you have, the better the photo. Photo quality is dominated by sensor size, lens quality and especially photo processing algorithms. Mid-range phones often add extra cameras to "enough quantity", but the actual performance is very limited. A beautiful photo comes from a combination of hardware and software, not just numbers.

Technical specifications do not reflect experience

A device with a 120Hz screen, super fast charger or high-resolution camera is not necessarily going to bring a smooth user experience. Optimizing the operating system, regular software updates, heat control capabilities and actual battery life are all factors that should be considered. Many mid-range models have more stable performance thanks to the software being carefully crafted.

Warranty services

One aspect that is less of interest is after-sales service. No matter how good the device is, technical errors can still occur. Warranty policy, ability to replace components and processing speed when there is an incident are factors to consider. Some brands are famous for their configurations but lack a warranty network, making it difficult for users to repair them.
