Going to buy a new smartphone? You must be spoilt with choices, isn’t it? One of the very basic requirement is to have a good camera in you smartphone. Thinking about it, the next question which comes is, how much pixels (megapixels precisely) would be enough for you.

 A lot of us do have money exceeding the general requirements of day to day (month to month would be more appropriate) in our salary/savings accounts, which lies idle and earns a mere 4% interest rate which is the most common interest offered by most of the banks.
