How to Pick the Right Smartphone

With so many smartphones around today, choosing the right one for you can be tough job. Lot depends on one’s personal choice as well. For instance, a shooting enthusiast would be looking for a smartphone with the best quality camera, music fans would be on the lookout for phones that have maximum audio storage capacity and the best audio quality and so on.

So what is the right phone for you? Here are some cool ideas on choosing the right smartphone for you.

How to Pick the Right Smartphone:

Tip 1
When you are on the lookout for phones that are bundled with a carrier, then selecting the right network becomes an important element. Compare different plans available in each network and choose the best ones for you. Make sure that the carrier you choose has the best coverage in your area. Get to know what network your friends and families are using. This will ensure that you benefit all the free calling facilities and choose a plan and phone accordingly.

Tip 2
On your selected network’s website, you can choose your choice of smartphone. This can be done easily by simply specifying the features that are most important to you. On the left hand side of the page, you will have a list of features. By simply selecting them, you can narrow down your phone list based on the features. Just click on the phone image to get more information on the device.

Tip 3
Select your choice of input methods. Try different phones that are displayed for demonstration in the store or try your friend’s phone to have a hands-on experience on the model. Smartphones with touch inputs usually have larger displays. Many users find it difficult to type on these devices due to the lack of physical keyboards. Again, it all burns down to personal choice.

Tip 4
Like a computer, a phone is nothing without all its contents. Hence it is important to have a good storage space. If you wish to have a large quantity of video and audio, a smartphone with a decent internal memory would be a great choice.

Tip 5

Think of all the devices or peripherals that you want to connect with your smartphone. While most smartphones have micro USB port for data transfer, some use connections that require special cables. Some smartphones also have connections for video output that will connect your smartphone to larger screens.

Tip 6

Think how frequently you would like to charge your phone. Of course that would be as little as possible. But longer battery life might mean you will have to sacrifice certain elements on performance.

Tip 7

Study the different screen sizes available in the market. The bigger the screen, the more comfortable it is for browsing and other activities. But bigger screens may not be easy on your pockets. Again it’s a matter of personal choice.

Tip 8

Check the data transfer capability of your phone. If you are in an area that supports 3G or 4G, then you might want to go for a 3G or 4G compatible phone and enjoy high data speeds.
