Few Things to consider when buying your new smartphone

Smartphones these days have become an integral part of our lives. We use them for communication, taking pictures, saving documents on the cloud, internet browsing etcetera.

Smart phone to buy

But then, with the wide variety of smartphones available in the market, it is never easy to decide which one to pick. It is always tough deciding the one that may suit our needs best.

Here's a list of things you should consider before you decide to buy your next smartphone.

1)Build quality:Build is all about the durability of a smartphone. The entire handset market is largely divided into two types of builds -- metal and plastic.


Some even have glass-coated panels, but those are very limited. If you are one of those prone to dropping your smartphone, it's advisable to go for a metal or a plastic-built handset.

These can sustain drops from 2-3 feet, while glass-based handsets are sure to shatter.

2)Display:The size and resolution of the display depending on how you use your smartphone. If you often stream videos, edit photos or videos, or download and view movies, then a smartphone display ranging from 5.5-inch to 6-inch, full-HD or QHD resolution should be good enough for you.

Anything larger than a 6-inch display not just makes the handset extra bulky, but also difficult to carry around.


3)processor:The processing power of a smartphone varies from one device to another depending on several factors such as OS version, UI, bloatware, and more.

If you are a heavy user who needs 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 for you.

4)​camera:Just having a higher number of megapixels does not mean that the smartphone camera is better. Several specifications such as camera aperture, ISO levels, pixel size, autofocus, and more are essential as well. A 16MP rear camera is not necessarily better than a 12MP camera. The same theory goes for the front-facing camera.

A higher number of pixels means that the size of the image is bigger, which becomes sharper when seen on a small screen. A photography enthusiast might want a camera with a 12 or 16MP sensor under f/2.0.

5)​battery life: Battery usage differs from user to user depending on the way he/she uses the smartphone. If you are a heavy user and work on apps, play games, stream videos and more then go for a smartphone with at least a 3500mAh battery or above. If you are an average or light user, a handset with a 3000mAh battery would be good enough to run for a full day.
