Samsung's expensive S series phones have 4 features that the A series phones don't have: DeX, AI (including Circle to Search), wireless charging and S pen. Most people don't need those features and the A series phones meet their needs
Lol.. not entirely true 😂 Flagship S series also have better cameras, processing speed, even faster downloading and uploading network speeds. And also maintains it's value more than the A series.

Processes (parts of an app) can drain battery. A poorly developed app can drain your battery faster while using it or while it's running in the background.
It is generally safe to make a phone call while charging. The only time you should be concerned is if you notice the phone getting too hot; it is best to unplug it and let it cool down before continuing to use it.
A few you said are correct but the following are not 100% true. 1. Charging your phone regularly will damage your phone battery. Let me explain, first, your phone make use of ions, those electrons are designed to function in a certain way. Simply put, Charing your phone requires it also discharges. Charging and discharging your phone is good for the health of your battery. Secondly all batteries have what is called a charge cycle. Charing your phone all the time to 100% would reduce the cycle. This is the reason why phones in the last 3yrs or so have optimized their software and added a feature to stop your phone charging at 80% to trick the battery prolong the battery cycles. In fact no phone battery gets to 0% when your phone shows 0% it's actually the software telling you to charge. In real life there is still enough power on tha battery, only that if your phone battery ever hits zero electron level it will never charge. 2. Your phone can cause explosion at a gas station. Your phone make use of batteries, and if those batteries ever reach a point of exploding that spark would actually cause a gas explosion. 3. Using phone in an airplane. Well, most phones have multiple radio signals so is an airplane. Your phone signal could interfere with the radio signal from the plane disrupting the signal from control towers.
Your no.2 is wrong for gas station The context is that u shouldn't make calls The question is...will calls cause a spark? If yes...is that the only activity on your phone that can cause a spark?
@@georgennajiofor3826 phones can get heat up during calls if the batteries are not in good shape. Have you experienced your phone heating up during call or browsing the web or other activities?
@@supremeblix but browsing is allowed Gaming is allowed...these are activities that heat up your phone faster than calling Which according to your argument can lead to a spark...yet it's only calls that are frowned upon Your argument is flawed with my explanation
@@georgennajiofor3826 you deviated a little... I cited those as things that could cause phone batteries to blow up. From the video calls was the subject. I only asked if you have used your phone in those following activities causing heat.
Disappointed that you didn't mention the myth about fast charging. A lot of smartphones today can charge their 5000mah batteries in less than 30 minutes and they last longer than your 11 pro max, 12, 13 14 , 15 and s24 ultra that take more than an hour to charge. Samsung and apple just choose to not innovate.

Hi Oscar, I Followed your review comparing A35 and A55 Bought the A35( this week and experiencing hotness) So is it a myth that new phones experience hotness within the 1st 48hours of usage Already aiming to return the phone
This 27000 mah powerbank was my first ever and up till now my only powerbank i ever bought in my life, I bought it in 2021 October, but in 2023, it just started swollen up like it wants to explode or something, but it was still working though, but degrading in battery capacity, I was quite disappointed though but i must be sincere, my experience was top notch, if they can reduce the swollen problem and increase capabilities 😊as they say, I will buy a higher mah for laptop and gadgets cause I was already opting for new age or romoss, I am looking to buy another powerbank again. Anyway thanks and keep it up 👆 👍
The rice trick doesn't work effective enough. Yeah, it dries off the water in the charging port, audio jack and perhaps the speakers. Nevertheless, it doesn't get rid of the water IN the phone. The display is usually most affected 😢. #talkingfromexperience
The main reason for that is just to be sure that your device is properly charged before using it. Some people have returned some electronic products because they thought it was defective but it was just because it was not properly charged,most times the batteries might drain totally during long shipping so that's y manufacturers urge you to first let it charge before using.
Good day boss. Your videos are well detailed, the rice part has helped in sometime for me but my little guy dropped the phone on top kerosene lamp does days The phone crashed The thing pain me shaa Pls gift me that itel p55 on your shelf Am desperately in need of a phone Thanks
As a tech guy, I completely disagree with your 7th myth. Even though your phone manages background applications to save battery, how does it manage it? It manages it by closing some of the apps and if it is still in the memory, it's consuming the battery, also by prioritizing your frequently used apps. So if you don't plan on using the app for a very long time, you should definitely close it, even if it's just a calculator app. Or are you trying to say you'll leave 2 heavy games on the background and expect your battery not to drain faster? C'mon man
Thanks, Dan, for your comment. Let's clear this. Modern smartphones efficiently manage background apps by suspending them to save power. In that case, manually closing apps might not help and could even use more battery. This is because reopening an app from scratch requires more CPU and resources (you need to read from storage and load into memory) than resuming a suspended app. In fact, the power needed to have the app in memory is quite small when compared to reopening it from scratch and memory loading. Additionally, force-closing apps can interrupt important background tasks, causing them to restart and use even more battery. I hope this helps.
@@oscarmini you are right. But closing them alone won't use more battery, it'll help you save a little even if it's a very light app like a calculator, they all consume negligible battery on the background. It'll only consume more battery if you're not done with the app, therefore reopening it. It's a different story for heavy games though, that'll drain your battery life and direct and not even negligible. And a force closed app wouldn't restart even after you restart your phone. Except it's as important as Google play services for example. Unless you mean another thing saying Force closing but if you're talking about force stopping apps (i.e going into app info and Force stopping) I'm right
Which smartphone myth surprised you the most?
The myth and truth that surprised was 'using your phone in a gas station will cause a kaboom😅😅😅'

Another myth, RAM size doesn't affect the speed and smoothness of a phone, rather processor speed determines the speed and smoothness of your phone.
So it makes things more smoother... That fucking makes no sense
More RAM size only makes it run smoothly and not faster when multi tasking
