Is it believable?

Didn't used apps or trackers to measure my step count before, but for a few days I was thinking about why not try out this new piece of tech. Before buying any standalone and dedicated wearable devices for such things, I saw that my smartphone keeps track of those things. Today I did the most no of steps since I started using this device, but I still can't believe the numbers shown on the screen. I was walking maybe like 10 mins, but these numbers seemed so big to me. I guess maybe a wearable gadget would provide far better readings and I am very skeptical about the phone's inbuilt sensors.

These gadgets & apps give result's only based on the vibration. So it won't be accurate on most of the cases. If you try moving your hand, it does takes it as a one step count.
NOTHING IS ACCURATE.

@Sojourn Ignore these calculations. Just walk as much you can and stop at the point where you need rest or walk based on the timing restriction.

It's relativity. They calculate your steps based on your motion vs time taken. And in most of application it does the same thing. Try to walk on edges of 15cmby 15cm tile and tell me if your application shows any difference in number of steps.
Gadgets like fitness band can be accurate compared to mobile phones at least as those got multiple sensors to track your motion
