HOW TO CHOOSE A SMARTPHONE ?

Here is everything you need to know if you're buying a smartphone for the first time or upgrading an existing smartphone.
9 QUICK TIPS

1.BUDGET :
            

  • Budget is the most important parameter that must be considered while buying an electronic device.
  • Phones are subsidized when purchased along with a phone carrier contract or sometimes even "free" upon signing. This usually commits you to a 2-year billing plan for the carrier and includes penalties for early cancellation.
  • Some carriers also charge a monthly ‘device fee’ to make up for little or no upfront cost on your smartphone.

2. OPERATING SYSTEM
                           


For most people, the deciding factor will be personal preference. Those looking for a simple interface and a secure system will tend to like iOS-backed iPhones, while those looking for more custom options and lower cost, in general, will likely prefer Android phones.


3.DISPLAY SIZE &DESIGN

Screen size is measured corner to corner diagonally. Ultimately, screen size is a matter of preference. Smaller screen phones may fit better in your pocket and are often cheaper. Larger displays may be preferable if you plan to watch a lot of videos.
  • iPhone offers the “SE” series for compact phones and the “Plus” series for an extra-large screen.
  • Android phones come in a wide range of sizes: there are smaller budget models such as Moto G or Redmi, higher-end models like the Galaxy S or the One Plus series, and oversized models like Galaxy Note or Pixel xl series.
It is wise to check the look and feel of the device in a nearby showroom since the smartphone is going to stay with u for some years! 

4.PROCESSOR/ PERFORMANCE



Even midrange phones now offer good-enough performance for most users. But if you want the most power for games and augmented reality, buy an Android phone with a Snapdragon 855processor. The A12 Bionic processor in the iPhone XS, XS max and iPhone XR is the fastest mobile chip yet.

5.CAMERAS!
If you are a sort of photographer, then choose a mobile phone with a good camera sensor!
  • Ignore camera megapixels. Along with battery life, the camera has become the most important smartphone feature. Pay attention to specs such as aperture (lower numbers are better) and special features such as dual lenses and optical image stabilization. Ignore the megapixels. 

6.RAM AND STORAGE


Check the storage space. A phone's storage (usually listed in gigabytes or GB) is a measure of how many files (photos, videos, apps) it can store at any one time. Storage space strongly affects the price of the smartphone so consider how much you're likely to need before settling on a phone model.
A typical android device requires at least 3gb of ram for smooth usage and 32 GB of internal memory.
It is recommended to choose a phone with 4gb of ram with 64 Gb of internal storage.
If you are a sort of heavy user you can go for 6/8gb of ram!

7.BATTERY

Battery technology is improving steadily so newer phones tend to have longer battery life, however, your usage habits are what really dictate how long the battery lasts. Talking on the phone, gaming, and using phones outside of wifi range will all drain a battery more quickly.
  • Average smartphone battery life can range anywhere from 8-18 hours.[3]
  • Most flagship Android models will not support replaceable batteries. iPhones do not support replaceable batteries on any model.
  • It is recommended to have at least 3700mah of battery so that your device can last long! 

8.CHARGING TIME
  • With type c 3.0, Some newer Android phones utilize a quick charge technology to help recharge their large batteries faster (e.g. Samsung Galaxy S series, Motorola Droid Turbo series, One Plus or oppo). Manufacturers claim phones with a quick charge can achieve a 50-80%% charge in about 30 minutes.


9. HEADPHONE JACK!!!!
Last but not the least.... The headphone jack !! I feel that the traditional 3.5mm headphone jack is essential in a mobile phone since the manufacturers are hesitating to retain it in order to make the phone look even more slimmer
