Conclusion
As we use our smartphones more and more, we tend to forget how important it is to keep them healthy and happy. As smartphone technology advances, the manufacturers are beginning to cut corners in order to keep reducing prices by using cheaper components. Sometimes these cheaper components can help with creating a thinner phone or adding support for faster 4g/3g internet speeds but they also create more problems that we as end users have to deal with.
