7 things to consider before buying a smart phone.
Many people ask me what are all the things to look for before buying a smart phone just have a good camera or octacore processes is it enough or is there many more things to consider??
to answer this question let me tell you the important aspects that need to consider before buying a smart phone. If you don't know what i'm talking then keep on reading else skip this section...
1)Operating System:- In market many OS are available most known are android, windows phone, Ios, blackberry os but which one to choose?? Here is some things to note.
Android OS;- It is the most famous and most used OS in market till date. It is a product of Google and it's free. It is easy to use, it will offer multi functionality, has literally unlimited apps to download. Also it can be tweaked to suit your taste and style.
Windows phone 8 ;- Windows is a Microsoft co-operation product for mobile os. They did a decent job on building this os for mobile it seems completely different from the android os, initially looks&feels different to handle but when you got hold of it you feel okay. It's considerably difficult and not so user friendly and has many limitations and there is very few changes to looks and feel to customize.
Ios & Blackberry os:-These are os for I phone and Blackberry phone, these are high end smart (feature wise not so great then android or windows). I don't wish to waste your time on these.
Over all you can choose between windows or android, but I recommend Android for students and go for other OS only if you are concerned about security and uses your phone for online banking etc.2)Screen size and resolution :- Normally screen size is mentioned in inches and it measured diagonally. Screen size vary from 3.5 inch to 6 inch in mobile phone and resolution is the number of pixels present in length wise and width wise (i,e length X width) higher is the resolution more will be the clarity and higher will be the cost. But there is one more things to consider except this that is number of colores that screen can display 6M, 8M and 16M color schems are available 6M and 8M colore are dull to look and wont make a premium impression. Also there is IPS dsplays today it is common in all the phones,IPS stands for in-plane switching. An IPS-LCD is a type of thin display that offers better viewing angles than TFT-LCDs. delivers more accurate colors, and allows the screen to be viewed from a wider angle.
Gorrila glass:- Gorilla Glass stands up to abuse with scratch- and impact-resistant qualities. And Corning's approach allows the glass to be incredibly thin, meaning it won't interfere with capacitance touch screens or add significant weight to a device.
Over all the best screen size is the one which you like more and comfortable to you, any resolution close to HD resolution (i,e 1920X1080) is good and also preferably gorilla glass 3 or higher should do the job.
3)Camera:-Talking about the camera people just look at the mega pixel that it has to offer but in reality it's not the only factor affecting, a 8MP camera at low resolution and larger shutter speed offers less than 5MP at high resolution and low shutter speed (shutter speed is the time lag between clicking and actual capture, saving of the image lesser is better)
Flash:-Flash is required for low light photography, not only that but also it could be used as emergency light in general most of the phones will has LED flash as it is cheaper battery friendly and durable also there is xenon flashes are also available.
Auto Focus:- Autofocus will adjust the lens of your camera to focus on the subject you're photographing to ensure it's sharp. Autofocus lenses generally provide vastly superior image quality than do their fixed focus cousins since they do not have to rely on their depth of field. If you don't know what I'm talking about then consider autofocus is good feature and must have in cameras.
4)Processor:-While choosing a phone one must give great thought about the processors there are many processors in the lay like qualcomm snapdragon, mediatek, nvidia, intel.
Snapdragon from qulacomm and mediatek processor from innovative studio are greatly popular in bench mark vice mediatek is better but most of the costly phone uses Snapdragon processors over all its almost the same but the thermal lag in mediatek is more compare to others. Overall it won't matter that much
32bit vs 64bit -64bit processor are new in market there are equivalent to laptop available but android or any software uses is not compatible with 64bit os even a device carry 64bit processor uses 32bit os but it's future proof at this time having 64bit process in mobile make no difference.
Clock speed and core - There is not much need to explain this part as every one know more the clock speed greater will be the performance and higher the number of cores better will be the output. But more cores leads faster draining of battery.
5)RAM:-Ram is different from internal memory . Its place where operating systems is loaded good mobile will have 1gb ram that can run most of the apps in play store but a better phones will have 2gb ram it can run all the app available in play store as of now it also depending on processor though. I recommend 2gb.
6)Battery:- Batterys are mentioned in terms of mah it means milli ampere more capacity of battery will last longer but capacity will inversely depends on weight as battery is most heavier component of mobile we should keep in mind about its weight if the big processor is coupled with small battery then the device will heat up and battery drains faster.
Any how the battery that can give 200-250hrs of talk time is sufficient for normal users.
7)Additional sensors:- There are verity of sensors available now a days In smart phone some important are
a) proximity sensor
b) light sensor
c) orientation sensor
d) compass
e) gyroscope
f) finger print scanner
g) blood pressure sensor
I recommend to buy phone that has at least first four sensors. Proximity is to find distance it helps in restricting miss working of touch screen when kept in your pocket or while talking, light sense helps to use auto brightness according to ambient light, orientation sensor are useful in auto rotation and playing games such as temple run, compass is useful in maps to show directions, gyroscope is not much so required but now a days Google cardboard is very much popular and virtual reality is much anticipated if you are interested in that then surly your device needs this sensor.
I think that's about it. I wish you good luck for
Buying your new phone :))
