Mobile Phone Features: 5 important Mobile Phone features to know when buying a Phone



Know which Mobile phone features you want and Buy

If you understand exactly which mobile phone features and capabilities you'd like to see in your new phone, it'll help you avoid paying too much for those you don't want or need.

Android dominates worldwide sales of smartphones, and for good reason. You'll find many more choices than iOS when it comes to design, display size, specs, capabilities and price. Plus, Android is an open OS, which means it's easy to customize awesome launchers and widgets, while giving you a choice of keyboards and more.


1. Find the Right design




Buying a Mobile phone means entering into a deeply personal relationship with a highly portable physical object. That's why you should think hard about how it is designed, since you will be spending plenty of quality time with it. Make sure you're comfortable with the way it looks and -- this is important -- feels in your hand, and make sure that your phone-to-be reflects your personal sense of style. This is as true for sleek metal handsets and simple flip phones as it is for rubber-plated rugged handsets.

2. Processor

The heartbeat of any device is its processor. It provides the computing power to work through various tasks, like opening and running applications. A fast processor also has a big impact on overall performance, such as how smoothly a phone handles flipping through menus and running home screens.

Choose a phone with a high internal memory processor and storage capacity because you will want to down load documents, video, music and images.


3. Camera

A phone's camera quality depends on a whole host of variables. More megapixels will always sound better on a fact sheet, but we know some good 13-megapixel cameras that take better photos than a bad 20-megapixel shooter.

Also important are the lens quality, which could aid the sensor by exposing it to more light. The sensor itself might also offer a lower pixel count, but be more sensitive to illumination, resulting in better performance in low-light conditions.

With the rise of social network sharing, front-facing cameras are more important than ever before. In addition to seeing higher-resolution topside cameras, vendors are also concentrating on more software dedicated to the art of selfies.


4. Battery


Manufacturers have begun to recognize the critical importance of battery life and are squeezing greater-capacity batteries into their phones. Typical phone batteries start in the neighborhood of 1,700mAh and can go all the way up to 4,000mAh. It is better to get a phone that the battery is from 3,000mAh and above.

Manufacturers list battery performance in terms of talk time, standby time, or how many hours you can expect a device to perform tasks such as playing video and music.

5.  Operating System

Knowing the operating system you want for your phone is very important because of more hardware choice and more control over user experience.
There are different Operating Systems now due to technological growth. Remember that the better the operating system, the faster the performance.


Quick Tips


· Android is better if you want more hardware choice and more control over the user experience.


· Get a mobile phone with a 5-inch screen or smaller if one-hand use is important. Get a bigger screen if you like to watch a lot of video and play games.


· The camera has become the most important smartphone feature. Pay attention to specs like pixel size (in microns, bigger is better) and aperture (lower numbers are better) and ignore the megapixels.


· If you want the most speed for games and multitasking, buy an Android phone with the latest Snapdragon 820 processor and 4GB of RAM. The A9 chip in the iPhone 6s and the 6s Plus is also very speedy. A Snapdragon 615 chip is fine for mid-tier Android phones.


· Don’t settle for a smartphone with less than a 3,000 mAh battery if endurance is really important.


· 16GB phones are ok.


· Get 32GB or more of storage if you plan to download lots of games or shoot 4K video.


· Choose a phone that is compatible with the popular mobile chat apps like Telegram, facebook, twitter, whatsapp, instagram etc this will help you participate in the social media world
