5 Important things you need to keep in mind while buying a Smartphone and the Most Popular Budget Smart Phones
These days we are like:
No Smartphone
No Life.
So if that’s the case, why not choose the best and for doing that we need to look at the points that will help us select the best smartphones from around a wide range available in the market. We have listed 5 important and essential points that are vital to be considered while buying a new smartphone. So let’s get started.
GET SET GOOOOOO…
The Processor
The Processor is the heart of any device (although it acts as a brain). The speed of your device will depend on how good the processor is.
As the name suggests, a processor is something that processes.
Hence, the efficiency of your device will depend on the efficiency of your processor i.e. if the processor more instructions per second, then the device will automatically work fast.
Hence, it is mandatory to choose a device with the latest processor available so that there will be no chance of facing problems related to performance in the future.
Always remember,
If you are a heavy user and extensively require to edit images/videos/documents online, play heavy games, stream videos or often use apps in split-screen mode, then Smartphones with Qualcomm Snapdragon 652 or Snapdragon 820/821 should make multitasking easy and appropriate for you.
Light users who do not require the extensive use of the above features will be happy with handsets that come with MediaTek processors.
Now let us come to our next point which is:
The Display
Who doesn't want shining bright screens and glittery back build when it comes to selecting the display?
But how many of you actually work on choosing and investing the time to search out the best smartphones which can meet all your needs?
Very few… Not good literally!
But wait, who have more time today?
Obviously, no one is free enough to do a detailed research on which Smartphone has that glittery glass shine or the glossy finish or whatsoever is required.
Don’t worry as we are here to save your time and will suggest you choose a smartphone that’s unique and different based on its display and features like screen size, pixel quality etc.
The size and resolution of the display depending on how you use your Smartphone and how often in a day, it is essential to you.
If you are someone who often edits photos or videos or downloads and view movies, stream videos, then a Smartphone display ranging from 5.5-inch to 6-inch, full-HD or Quad HD resolutions will be the best for you.
Anything larger than a 6-inch display will only increase the bulkiness, hence reducing the handiness of your device and will make it difficult for you to carry it around.
The Battery
Beware!
If you are a heavy user and work on apps all day long, play games, stream videos, listen to music, etc., and then pardon me my friend; a meager battery of 2500mAh is definitely not for you. In this case, you should always go for a Smartphone with a battery above 3500mAh.
But if you are an average or light user, 3000mAh battery would be good enough to run for a full day and you will surely praise us for giving this advice.
Alternatively, if you own an iPhone, consider buying an iPod charger to get more and more.
Also, new Android Smartphone makers include the special chargers that can boost up a battery to at least a half charge in just minutes. So, if someone is taking care of all these, what are you waiting for!
The Camera
You are a photo freak but are always complaining about your camera quality and resolution here & there, if this is the case with you then you definitely need to think again about your camera and its specs.
But, Remember - A 16MP rear camera does not necessarily be better than a 12MP camera.
Hence, just having a higher number of megapixels does not mean that the Smartphone camera is better. Several other specifications such as ISO levels, autofocus, camera aperture, pixel size and more are essential as well. The same applies to the front-facing camera.
And yes! Budget phones rarely have great cameras, so for photo freaks out there; consider spending a bit more if the camera quality is that important to you.
The Storage
Last but not least!
A very important thing is the storage that should never be ignored.
A large part of the Smartphone’s storage is taken away from the OS and the apps the device comes pre-installed with .i.e you are left with very less space.
Users who like to keep a larger number of apps can go for 64GB or 128GB variants.
A 16GB/32GB/64GB or more don’t really come with exact mentioned space, and hence you should buy a phone keeping this point in mind.
You can also buy a 16GB model that supports micro SD card as well.
As we are pretty clear with all the requirements and can judge how to buy a Smartphone, let’s now have a look at some of the budget Smartphones in India.
