In modern smartphones manufacturers offer a variety of features that are presented as innovative, but, in fact, is only a marketing trick, not worth the overpayment. “Газета.Ru” published a list of the most useless features of modern smartphones.
Took first place, oddly enough, the top Apple, Qualcomm, Samsung and HiSilicon. As the newspaper notes, is an expensive accessories that increase the final price of the device, while the top processors of three years ago do any job “in addition to the VR display and a couple of games at maximum resolution”.
Screens with a resolution of QHD or even 4K be useless in everyday life unless you are a fan of virtual reality helmets. In addition, when working with higher resolution they consume more energy and are bad for battery life.
The ability to shoot 4K video is not claimed, since 90% of the video, filmed on a smartphone, seen on the phone or put in the social network, which reduce the video resolution.
Dolby Atmos will come in handy when viewing movies and games connecting a home theater system.
Lapse photography Super slow motion without the application to the mobile professional operator, ready to do a hundred takes, or looks like a freeze-frame or not catches the right moment.
The functions determine the strength of depression, such as 3D Touch and Force Touch, almost not used except to display the context menu. Thus replacement of such a screen is more expensive.
Augmented reality capabilities nice sound and look at the presentation, but while AR applications openly crude, uncomfortable, small and will remain so for another three years.
Animated emojis like the iPhone Animoji X are also self-indulgence. Frankly, rarely in real life is required to turn his face in the chat in animated deuce.
Also useless on the smartphone turns out to be a split-screen function. It is popular on tablets but not on smartphones with a diagonal of 5-6 inches.
