Part II: Choose a Smartphone Smartly

The first part tackled about the first three things you need to consider. And those are: 1. Mobile Operating System, 2. Brand; and 3.Budget. Once you have taken care of those first three, you are ready to roll up to the next guides.

Have you been in a cliffhanger with the first episode—er, I mean—part? If you are thirsty for more, here goes another quick guide for you to get the best on choosing the right smartphone for you:

#1: The Apps you’ll need

Evidently, as you buy your all-new pristine phone, it lacks the apps you need. As it has been said, apps are the lifeblood of smartphones. Fortunately Google’s Play store and Apple’s App store include plenty of add-ons. You have a need to be connected socially? Try out social media apps like Facebook, Twitter, and *insert social media sites here* as they are the platforms to go to. Surely, some apps come with a price, but there are also apps that don’t require you to spend a penny for your phone to be loaded. Be sure to have replacement batteries or a charger as apps are a great deal of battery drainer.

#2: Wide or wider screen?

If you’ll think of it, bigger screens are far better. But I guess there’s a need for you to think twice. It doesn’t always mean that when the screen is bigger, it’s better. More often than not, its resolution is compromised as the screen widens. If you’re digging in to budget phones but wider screen, you’ll definitely be suffering a little with its resolution. Better be a size-wise instead so you would be impressed with the crisp display of your screen.

#3: How fast can you go?

Alright, we are done with the apps installed and the screen size, but can your processor “process” it? If you are going to bombard your phone with apps and tasks, then you’ll likely need a quad-core processor. But if you are still considering your budget, you may resort to cheaper devices that offer dual-core processors. If you aim for the speed of light (exaggerating), go for Samsung models that offer super fast 8-core processors—good luck on finding one, though.

#4: Are you a photo-holic?

You might want to raise your hands if you do! As guilty as I am, I love taking pictures. Not to say that I aspire to be a photographer or something, but each of us has their own hobbies—and I find taking pictures interesting. Whether you are a professional photographer or just love snapping shots randomly, you should buy the best handy camera there is. Pick smartphones that offer an optimum quality camera. If dough isn’t that big deal, then I don’t see any reason not to go for it!

Well, those are the important things you need to consider on choosing the perfect handset. Have fun choosing!
