Smartphone buying guide: Tips for getting a good mobile phone

Many people don't consider certain specifications while purchasing a smartphone. The idea of getting a mobile phone is always on one's mind but reasons toward it is usually not clarified.
Today i would love to discuss some certain things to consider while going all out for a smartphone. Or let me say, there are some questions we need to ask ourselves first before purchasing a smartphone.

Why do i need a smartphone?

A clear reason for getting a phone should be the first idea to think of. Most people don't have a good reason for having a smartphone. It may sound weird but its true. some own a smartphone because everybody has one or let me say because we leave in the 21st century where its as important as the air we breathe-in.
You don't have to copy what others do or act the same way with others. Have a good reason so as to get better options while purchasing a smartphone of your choice.

Of What purpose would it serve me?

This is very important to know while contemplating on getting a smartphone. Do you want to purchase it as a gift to someone, for listening to music, managing a mobile website, chatting with folks or just to surf the internet? That decision is in your hands to make. Don't just purchase it without having an agenda or else you would end up buying different devices over and over again. Just have a clear cut on your decisions.

What brand works for me?

Having a specified brand is a good idea, so you don't have to worry about the cost. The world is filled with enough sophisticated phones of which you could pick at random or as per the size of your financial capability. If you want something of very high quality, an iPhone would be the best advice to get. But if you think its too expensive or you can't afford getting that, an android is the best alternative. Nowadays, Android have taken over the smartphone market as demands soars high on a daily.

Despite answering questions cut across your mind, some factors needs to be considered while purchasing a smartphone.

Battery

Its very important and necessary to have a good battery because its of no use having a smartphone with a bad battery. A good battery should be from 2500 mAh and above because having anything below that is never a good sign. There are various functions on smartphones this days that keeps running, a good battery will be encouraged so as not to get stranded while in use. When you have a really good battery for example, about 5000 mAh, a sigh of relief would be the end-point. Having a good battery reveals the level of quality of the smartphone.

Body size

The way you view/size of the screen of your gadget is very important. Between 7 to 10 inch, a specified size could be chosen based on choice. A good size for you to be able to work smart is recommended.

OS(Operating system)

Discover what type of OS(operating system) works well for you. Be it android,iOS, windows, you can choose a preferred one out of all.

Camera

Getting a quality camera is necessary. In other to capture good images for whatever you want to use it for, be it selfies, blog post etc. It's important to get a smartphone with an amazing camera pixel. What's a pixel?    a unit of graphic resolution equivalent to one million or (strictly) 1,048,576 (220) pixels. A good camera should be from 8megapixel and above. Smartphones with poor/low quality images has its MP(megapixel) to be below 8megapixel. while viewing your smartphone camera, you would discover the size of the camera in other to know its quality. A camera that looks tiny when viewed relatively has low resolution, while the one with a big size  is of high resolution.

Speed

It's very important to have a very fast smartphone especially when it's in use. While using a smartphone and it's not responding well, it's becomes very frustrating. I would recommend purchasing something not less than CPU Quad-core 1.1 GHz. Anything less, could become very frustrating. Having a good smartphone with speed makes life and things you do more stress-free.

Memory

The size of your files, apps and so on is determined by the memory size of the smartphone. With a large memory size, its convenient to convey large size files on the go. Some good smartphones have large size in-built memory without card slot while some have small in-built memory with card slot. Which ever you intend making plans for, making sure it isn't below 8GB because having below that is definitely nothing to write home about. There would be little to store when the memory is of small size. When the smartphone consist of music, videos, apps, there will be no space for any other file to be stored.

I hope with this few tips, getting a smartphone would be much more easier as we go about our daily routine. Remember to Stay smart and also share this post with your friends.
