Biggest Smartphone Myths

Charge your new smartphone for long hours even if it’s fully charged

It’s a common myth and rumor that’s going on that a new smartphone needs to be charged for longer hours for the first time. This does not apply to modern smartphones. Charging your phone for longer hours frequently can cause battery damage. Thanks to AI today’s smartphones can stop charging automatically or slowly charge the phone when it reaches the maximum level. Memory effect was an issue with older nickel-cadmium batteries, but modern lithium-ion batteries used in smartphones don’t have this issue. They can be charged and discharged at any time without impacting the battery life.

Let your battery die before you charge

While nickel-cadmium batteries suffer from memory issues which cause the battery to lose capacity if not fully charged regularly, this doesn’t apply to lithium-ion batteries used in smartphones. It’s not a good practice to let your phone battery die completely before charging. But it’s okay if it happens occasionally because lithium-ion batteries have many charging cycles. Modern smartphones are smart enough to understand charging practices and perform according to them. Keeping your phone between 20% and 80% can help the battery life last long.

Dont use wireless chargers

Wireless charging generates slightly more heat than wired charging. However, smartphones that support wireless charging are built/designed and equipped with intelligent heat management systems. These functions automatically adjust charging rates or even pause charging if things get too hot.

Phones with built-in wireless charging capability are specifically designed to handle heat generated during this process. Every smartphone manufacturer does multiple tests to ensure it works well with the technology. So as users, we don’t need to think a lot about the functions, Just enjoy them with care.

Don’t plug your phone into a charger every time

Forget the old battery myth. Lithium-ion batteries don’t need special charging routines. Regular charging won’t affect the battery life. But always keeping the battery level 20–80% slightly extends their life while below 20% makes the battery stressed. If it’s possible it’s better to keep your battery level above 50% but occasional dips are okay. Just charge when convenient and enjoy your phone.

Don’t play games on the smartphone for a long time use

Today’s smartphones are built for mobile gaming. They are equipped with powerful processors, smart thermal management, and intelligent performance balance for smooth gameplay without harming your device. Here are some options available in the smartphone for a true gaming experience.

Powerful Hardware: Advanced CPUs and GPUs can handle high-performance games.

Thermal Management: Thermal management systems manage heat efficiently and prevent overheat.

Smart Performance balance: Smartphones balance power usage based on your activity to ensure a smooth gaming experience. Long gaming sessions might drain your battery, but it’s not harmful to your device.

Always use battery saver mode

Avoid using battery-saving mode regularly to reduce your battery charging counts. Battery saver is another thing that causes battery health degradation. (Occasional use is fine)

Close all the background apps to run smoothly

It is a common myth that closing all apps on your device will lead to faster performance. In reality, it’s different. When you close all your frequently used apps from the background, it takes more processing power and drains a lot more battery to restart the app. It’s recommended to keep frequently used apps open in the background for quicker access.
