Cell phones today look little or nothing like those of years ago. New features and more powerful specs and more elegant designs.
However, not all users have the same technological knowledge and for this reason it is more than possible that the information is not well understood and that even some concepts are misunderstood. For this reason, today we will try to dispel five mobile myths that many consumers continue to believe.
1. More RAM doesn't mean faster phones
More RAM doesn't mean more power
RAM is one of the most important elements not only in smartphones but also in many other technological devices. Understanding this is not entirely easy, so we leave you a complete article explaining how RAM works in a smartphone.
What many users believe is that the more RAM, the faster the phone will go and that's not the case at all. We must keep in mind that there are different types of RAM memory so at the moment of truth and without forgetting that RAM is important, if what we want is a really powerful and fast mobile, it is better to look at the type of processor that mount the device.
2. More megapixels means better photo quality
The Huawei P40 Pro camera is one of the best on the market
Another great myth is that a smartphone with more megapixels in a camera equates to better quality of your photos. Obviously that's not the case and you just have to see an example: Google Pixel 3a.
The Google phone does not have an incredible number of megapixels and despite these it takes much better quality photos than other terminals with higher figures. This implies that the numbers are not as important as the software or image processing. In other words, 108 megapixels are more marketing than anything else.
3. Not all IP phones are waterproof
Attention, not all IP phones need to be waterproof
Just because a smartphone is IP certified doesn't mean it's water resistant or submersible. Be very careful when buying a phone as we may have an unpleasant surprise later on.
To better understand all of these strange Figures and characters, we leave you a complete guide to understand everything.
4. 2K is not the same as QHD
You have to study a master's degree to know all the different types of screens
Once again we come back with a marketing strategy that many companies use to promote their cell phones. That is, 2K is not the same as QHD.
Although 2K and QHD are often used interchangeably, the truth is that they are not the same. The 2K has a resolution of 2040 x 1080 while the QHD is 2560 x 1920.
5. The real difference between USB Type-C and Micro USB
Stop buying devices with Micro USB
Although both to unify the cables and to avoid so much waste, we must stop buying products with Micro USB and switch to USB Type C. It's a more modern connector and arguably the 2021 standard.
But that doesn't mean USB C is always faster than micro USB as there are different types of one and the other. What we really need to look at is whether the cell phone we will buy it uses the USB 3.0 protocol and not 2.0.
