Ten basic things to research before you go to select and buy a Smartphone


Introduction
At present many, many companies of the world are dumping varieties of smartphones with various specifications in our Indian market. So in this article, I am giving some important specifications you have to look into before you choose the best phone for you. So it is a Herculean task to select a smartphone from them for a common man. To promote their sales, companies are advertising their products in a big way through different media. In today's fast modern world a smartphone is very very essential to do various day to day works without attending physically everywhere. By this, we save our invaluable time and which makes our lives peaceful and happy.



There are many things to verify in a smartphone like its design, display, operating system, user interface, RAM and ROM capacity, camera, battery, audio, speakers Connectivity, multimedia, etc. If you keep a watch on recent iPhone, Windows, or Android Smartphone buyers then you will be able to sort out certain ideas to back your ultimate decision. If you want to be a smart smartphone purchaser then you should select a phone according to your needs to value your money the most. If your passion to own one is confused with too many choices provided by different manufacturers, then here are a few easy to follow tips for you:-

Screen Size:
If you are a busy person and need to use your phone with one hand, then restrict it to 5 inches or lesser screen size. If you are often engaged in viewing stream videos, edit photos or videos, or download and view movies, chatting and browsing social media apps. then a smartphone screen display extending from 5.5-inch to 6-inch, full-HD or QHD resolution should be a better option for you. Anything larger than a 6-inch display not only makes the handset extra bulky and also difficult to carry around. Screen display handsets ranging 5-inch to 5.5-inch HD or full-HD smartphone is more perfect for people who engage mostly in chatting, checking emails and browsing social media apps.

User interface and OS version
User interface and the OS version are key factors to consider while choosing a smartphone. These are the interfaces that one would have to interact with each time to access anything, so it should be easy and simple. To store everything you have downloaded like your various Apps. will be stored separately in App drawer or App. tray in Android and Windows Phones (in Windows10) but iOS do not have this option. iOS is only used on Apple devices, such as the iPhone. If you have a tendency to use lots of apps then iOS will give a home screen filled with apps. In such case, you should opt for Android or Windows phone. When it comes to Apps, iOS is still the front runner over Android and Windows. It supports almost all versions of any app you name. If there is a new app in the market it will make its first appearance most probably in iOS first. For example, an app like Instagram have its trial in iOS first and then they go for Android. So for App lovers, iOS is a good choice, though Android and Windows 10 are not much lagging behind.

Processor and its impact on smartphones
The processor is the brain of the smartphone. Nowadays, smartphones are so much more than phones and personal organizers. The are music and video players; they are mobile Web browsers; and they are cameras and camcorders. However, in order to do all those things, there needs to be a part of the system that can process and carry out those functions, which is where the processor comes into the picture

The effectiveness of the processor directly affects every application you run, whether it's the camera, the music player, or just a simple email program. If you select the wrong one and you could experience slow and faltering functioning of apps and limited network performance, regardless of leading manufacturer or operating system. The ability of the processor to coordinate efficient communication between the wireless data, graphics, and memory is so essential for the smooth operation of your smartphone.

A good processor in a phone should translate to faster open in times for Apps, smoother game play, and quicker photo editing, but you don't have to pay attention to clock speed. It's better to look at the performance results in our reviews, such as Geekbench, which measures overall performance. Among Qualcomm CPUs, the Snapdragon 835 processor is the class-leading chip, followed by the older Snapdragon 821. The 835 is the one to get if you want the best possible virtual-reality and gaming performance, as well as better efficiency, which translates to longer battery life.

The Snapdragon 600 series powers midtier smartphones, such as the Moto G5 Plus. These processors offer good overall performance, but one can't expect to play the most demanding games without lag or to experience VR. Smartphone light users can be happy with Mediatek Chipset Processors.

RAM Capacity
RAM and your processor will decide the speed and efficiency of your Smartphone. The more RAM your Smartphone has, the larger the digital media you can work upon and the faster your programs will run. Your processor can read data from RAM much faster than from a hard drive and so have more RAM on your Smartphone is a better option. More RAM means Android is going to spend less of its time killing and reloading apps from the internal memory/sd card, and instead spend more time doing actual work you care about this means that more RAM usually gives you better/faster task-switching. Having more RAM also allows you to run complex apps that naturally require a lot of memory, e.g. photo/video editor, complex games, etc. If the Smartphone includes the latest processor with multiple cores the better it will perform. So without sufficient RAM according to your needs Computing system like your smartphone would fail to perform basic tasks because accessing files would be ridiculously slow. For modern needs, a Smartphone with 2-4 GB is quite excellent for the better performance of the Smartphone.

ROM Capacity
When you are a heavy user of various Applications and games you need a large internal space (ROM) for storage. Storage capacity is also very important. The number of Apps, audio, image, video and other files depends on the storage capacity of your smartphone. Image and video files, for instance, are sizeable enough to use up the entire memory space. If you love trying out as many photo apps as you like, you need ample space in your storage for it. So you need a ROM of 16-32 GB or even more. Suppose if you want to store your downloaded heavy media you can store in an external storage like Pen drive or SD card. Taking a Smartphone with sufficient ROM is essential, otherwise all the time your Smartphone reject to add even a small interested App. You wish to add.

Camera Performance
For most of the people who buy Smartphone, they love one which performs best in Camera and video section. Photos coming out of the Smartphone camera has to stand to the test for sharpness, contrast, saturation and color vividity. As a very general rule more megapixels on a phone is better for printing and sharing the images. The higher the megapixel count on a camera sensor, the greater amount of detail that can be captured in a picture. Screen size, resolution and the quality of the contest will influence the quality photos taken in low light and dark condition. Modern Smartphone cameras are equipped with a new functionality, i.e. image stabilization. This functional aspect of Camera phones helps to reduce blur caused by movement of the camera. Camera Phones should support HD video shooting and also should support shooting at faster frame rates to get the best quality of video's.

Display Technology
In touchscreen phones, at present two types of display are available-LCD or AMOLED. Both of these displays have their own advantages and disadvantages. These two displays work on two different technologies and so they give a variety in their display. As a matter LCD display is more natural, more realistic, over a saturated color display, battery consumption more. AMOLED display images are more vibrant, decent color balance, better battery life is the advantages.

Battery Performance
Battery life is an increasing problem for smartphone owners. While our handsets have become faster and more powerful over the years, smartphone batteries often last less than a day under heavy use or even moderate use after a few months. So, according to our utility, we have to choose a Smartphone with an appropriate capacity of the battery. Manufacturers nowadays using higher capacity batteries ranging from 3000 MHA to 4100 MHA. So choosing a higher battery capacity for our handset makes our life easier.

Sensors and connections to be found to have a fine Smartphone experience
4G and 3G net connectivity, Near Field Communication (NFC) to transfer data to a friend or mobile payment, Bluetooth, Infrared to use your Smartphone to act as a remote for TV and other appliances, USB for wired connections, GPS mapping experience, Acclerometer and Gyroscope to detect the movements of the phone, ambient light sensor to adjust the brightness of screen, Compass to know the direction of movement, Proximity sensor to detect your presence, Ear Phones or Head Set for audio purpose etc. A high-end Smartphone will have all these features which give a real experience of Smartphone.

Audio/Speakers
For those who engage more in video streaming video conferences the most important parameter they look into Smartphones is the quality of Speakers and audio. Front facing speakers are good for those who need entertainment-on-the go. But those who don't indulge in video streaming and video conferencing bottom firing or back speakers are fine.

With more and more new features, manufacturers are dumping more and more technologically innovative phones into the market and it is impossible for any customer to have all the features in one phone. So customer has to choose a phone with a maximum specification which satisfies his/her passion. Go through the product previews and reviews from news media and internet. Through previews and reviews from experienced technical experts in the field, you can get an idea about the quality and durability of various brands of Smartphones in the market from which you want to choose one for you.
