Things to look out for before buying a new phone!

6:55 PM Posted by phonesoldier , , , No comments
Smartphone sales are increasing at a tremendous rate this days and a lot of people are tricked by smartphone companies by false advertising and useless features! Some claim to have top notch specs but in reality when you use them, you face lags and you get disappointed by your phone! So how should you buy a smartphone and what things you should keep in mind before doing so? I am here to guide you through that so you get a better idea on how should you buy a new smartphone by pointing the most important things to look out for before buying a new phone!




IS YOUR PHONE FUTURE PROOF?

Usually after buying a new phone, you start asking companies for updates and some of them listen and some of them don't and you are stuck with the outdated operating system for approx two years! But there's a solution to this problem that is buying a phone that is future proof already and will receive updates no matter what! Some of the brands that provide updates on time are Motorola, google, nokia , htc,Sony, LG and Samsung! But there is another problem here, the low cost phones of lg or samsung do not receive updates on time almost never and when you look at low cost, you should probably opt for another company! Indian brands almost never provide on time updates and customers always complaint about this and you should that's why avoid these brands!

PHONE SHOULD HAVE THE VALUE FOR MONEY TAG!

Now what i mean by this is that phone should have the features that it deserves in that price range! Companies like LG,Samsung and even HTC usually fool you in low cost phones by giving non value specs and you should never buy these phones! Better opt for a Indian brand! I wrote an article a few weeks back pointing the best value for money phones in different range, you can check that out here!

HOW IS THE BATTERY?

Battery is one of the most important factor of a smartphone and that should be good no matter what! How are you going to call your phone a mobile if the battery is not good and you have to charge it every 8 hours! So, you should always look out for a good battery life in a smartphone! I will soon write an article about phones with the best battery life, so stay tuned for that! Battery is usually great in nokia phones,Motorola phones, Samsung batteries are nice too, LG is great and even the HTC! Indian brands and Sony  fall back here with not so much great battery life!

RECEPTION IS GOOD OR NOT?

Reception of a phone is always a cconcern and you usually know about it after buying a phone but you should next keep in mind to buy a phone with a good reception! Phones like Nokia and almost all provide great reception! Indian brands , exceptionally moto g's reception are not that great! It is ok but if you talk a lot, you might wanna take a look at a different phone!



OUTDOOR VISIBILITY!

If you remain outdoors a lot, you should probably remain active about this function and buy the phone with the best outdoor visibility! Flagships always have a great outdoor visibility but when it comes to low cost, phones with a good resolution has a great outdoor visibility! If you wanna know more about screens of smartphones, you should check this article i wrote from here!

THE MAIN BATTLE- PROCESSOR VS OPERATING SYSTEM!

This is the most concerning point that you should check or ask any tech expert before buying a new phone! This actually means that which the processor the phone runs on which operating system! The thing is different operating systems require different processors to run like the windows phone can or IOS can run on dual cores but the android operating system needs high processing system to run lag free! In Android, there are sub-points to look out for that is the skins that mobile manufactures put in!
Skins like touchwiz from sansung or the skin from lg require very high processing and will lag on low budget! 

SCREEN SIZE VS PIXELS!

It's not always that screen pixels should be higher for the screen to look good, Concept of this is that for screen sizes around 4 inch, if the puxels are low then, it is no problem but if the screen size is larger, pixels are noticable and should be hihger in order for the screen to look good! Example WVGA screens will look good on sizes around 4inch but if you extend to higher screen sizes, it is going to look awful! Like wise screen of moto g that is 720p looks gorgeous but it is not that great on the lumia 1320! Another example is lumia 620 and lumia 625 whose screens are similar but it looks good on the lumia 620 with 3.8 inches but looks bad on the lumia 625!


SO NEXT TIME WHEN YOU WANT TO BUY A NEW PHONE, KEEP THIS POINTS IN MIND AND BUY  THE BEST PHONE!

-SO I GUESS THAT'S IT FOR THIS TIME! HOPE YOU
