Top 5 most overrated smartphone features: That Samsung have
All the manufacturers try hard to make their devices advanced, beneficial, praiseworthy, and capable of outstanding other devices. However, in the process of doing this, some of the times they come up with solutions that users don’t even notice or use. Of course, such overrated features do exist, which are not bad at all but don’t attract users this much towards them. So, let’s know such five overrated smartphone features.
Wireless Charging
Wireless Charging is a scheme that lets users charge their smartphone devices without a wired charger. This feature has been available for a few years. In this method, one needs to put their smartphone in the charging pad, but many times they put it the wrong way, and the phone didn’t charge due to this wrong placement. Besides, this method is also slower than the wired charging method.

Notably, this method has some other lacks as well. For example, it produces extreme amounts of electrical energy and transforms it into heat, which is not good at all for the device. Not only that but in this method, you can not use your phone as you can in the wired charging method. However, Wireless Charging is not that bad but does have some negative consequences with it.
144Hz refresh rate display
The refresh rate of a Display makes the device more reliable and enhances the experience. Currently, we have many refresh rate display options, including 60Hz, 90Hz, and 120Hz. The most advanced 120Hz refresh rate has many advantages, including smoother animations. A 144Hz refresh rate will also be a better option, but users will not notice such a small thing, as 120Hz is also a good option. For a 144Hz Display, the future Galaxy S24 Ultra is said to use it.
Quad HD or higher resolution screen
Quad HD+ resolution Displays are common nowadays, most specifically in premium devices. Now it is a feature that priorly doesn’t affect users, as they won’t notice it often. Informatively, even on a Full HD panel, you can’t notice individual display points. Additionally, a Quad HD or higher resolution also consumes too much energy, which is not really worth it for such a minor improvement.
Extreme High-resolution camera
It is just a stereotype that more pixel count means a better photo, but still, manufacturers love to use high-resolution cameras in their devices. Let us tell you, Megapixel counts only refers to the number of points. Besides, an image captured by larger image sensors such as 108MP or 200MP takes up a lot of space. Besides, it will be best if we use a sensor with large physical dimensions and a lower resolution.
Instead of using a more pixel-count camera, it will be best if the manufacturer uses software that can be helpful in delivering better images.
8K Video Shooter
It has been almost a decade since 4K video recording options start to emerge in smartphones. Now, phones with the ability to record 8K videos are also available on the market. However, 4K videos are also not bad at all and take less storage than 8K videos. Compared to lower resolutions such as 1080p or 720p, 4K and 8K resolutions don’t show too much difference in terms of quality.
The 4K resolution will be a standard option for the highest practical standard for coming several years. Hence, the 8K resolution option is not that usable at all.
Following the successful launch of the Galaxy S24 flagship device, several rumors have started circulating on the internet. Now, according to the latest development, there is a new listing coming in the highlight, which means the phone is under development and will be available on the market soon.
Some reports suggest that the Galaxy S24 FE, currently under development under the code name R12, could make its market debut in late 2024. Rumors suggest that the Galaxy S24 FE will initially be available in limited markets before potentially launching globally in 2024.
The Internet has also surfaced some rumored specs of the S24 FE, revealing several details about the device, including a 6.1-inch AMOLED display, 128 GB and 256 GB of RAM, and 12 GB of LPDDR5X RAM. It might have a 4500 mAh battery for power backup.
Samsung hasn’t officially revealed anything about the Galaxy S24 FE’s features or release date yet. However, a listing in a UK carrier database suggests this phone – known for offering flagship specs at a lower price – is coming soon.
Samsung Galaxy devices come with numerous customizable applications that offer a multitude of options, enabling users to easily customize the UI elements and participate in the Galaxy ecosystem. Among the many modules available, the Lockstar module offers the ability to customize the lock screen.
With the lockstar module, users get some additional options to customize the lock screen and AOD of the Galaxy smartphone and tablet. Unfortunately, it doesn’t provide the AOD-related customization feature for the Galaxy S24 yet, but now there is good news for the users as the company has confirmed to provide some additional settings for managing the Always on Display screen.
According to the information, some Galaxy S24 users in Korea have made numerous complaints and demanded some customizability of AOD through Lockstar. However, it is unclear if these changes will be implemented through the next application update or in a different way. However, the Good Lock support team has confirmed that they are actively working on this issue.
If we talk about the AOD customization option available on other devices, you can change the color and style of the clock and other elements, and you can also manage the brightness of the AOD manually.
Samsung ritually went with the fun and vibrant color option for its Galaxy Z Flip series, and this time also the brand could stay on the same strategy for its forthcoming Galaxy Z Flip 6—recent rumors revealing plenty of details regarding the sixth-generation Galaxy Z Foldable.

- Crafted in black, light blue, mint, peach, silver shadow, white, and yellow.
The executive stated that the light green and silver shades will be marketed as mint and silver shadow. However, these color variants are already found on the Galaxy Z Flip 5. It will be interesting to see whether Samsung will adopt a darker or lighter hue on the Flip 6.
The Crafted Black, Peach, and White choices are expected to be available in specific regions or in limited quantities. Notably, the lavender/purple color, which has been a staple on the Z Flips, is missing. Jumping on the Galaxy Z Fold 6, so the color options are still similar as previously reported. But here’s the catchable fact: Dark Blue will be marketed as Navy and Silver as Silver Shadow. A new light pink has also appeared, along with low-volume colors like black and white.
Apart from the color options, the reports also revealed that Samsung could continue to offer the Galaxy Z Flip 6 and Fold 6 in two variants based on storage:
