Nowadays, there’s more to phones than just calling and texting. Your smartphone can be your office or your notepad for taking lecture notes. When planning to buy the smartphone of your choice, the ability to fulfil all the functions you need should be a top priority. However, with so many companies with heavy jargon, it becomes an uphill task to identify a good one.
It would be best to start by identifying what you need the phone for or what will be its primary functions. If you use it for chats on Facebook and WhatsApp and calls, then a simple phone with an average display and camera is ideal. But if you are a gamer or view and download videos or large files, then consider a phone with a bigger screen for a better experience.
Let’s see the most important features to consider before buying one.
If you are a big fan of games or you like the high-quality HD graphics, a display of 5.7 is ideal for you, but if you only do calls, texts, Facebook, and WhatsApp, then a phone smaller than 5.7 inches will work for you. A phone above 6.0inches is too bulky to catty in your pockets. There are two types of LCD and AMOLED; they differ in terms of light projection. Even though the arrival of new technology is closing, the difference between these two LCDs is brighter and presents a better display when in direct sunlight. AMOLED has sharper and contrasting color images.
Different brands are the race to outdo each other since this generation loves photos. This is a good thing if you understand the terminologies but maybe a big disaster if you do not, and you may end up buying a camera by falling for the marketing terms displayed across the smartphone. Most people fall for more megapixels and fail to understand that ISO and aperture levels and auto-focus speed affect the photos’ quality. A camera with an MP between 12 to 16 and an aperture of f/2.0 will be good enough.
The processor determines the speed of your phone. It is easy to get lost while trying to figure out complicated terms like Snapdragon, quadcore, and MediaTek, and such. Focus on GHz [Gigahertz]; the higher the GHz speed, the faster the phone will be in performance. This is a top priority for you if you will be doing a lot of video or photo editing or stream videos, or play games online. The higher the GHz, the better the experience for you.…
