Currently, mobile phones are the center of most people’s lives. Early in the morning, people will pick-up their phones first rather than the towel and toothbrush. When they are about to go to bed, still their smartphones are in their hands. Smartphones have evolved to become a phone, our messaging device, our music player, our way to connect on social media, our camera, our digital wallet and many more.

As such, many companies including Samsung, Apple, Huawei are competing to be able to create the most sophisticated smartphones in the market. If you are looking to buy the best smartphone, here are some guides that can be handy to know what to look for before you make a purchase.

The Brand
Before buying a new smartphone, it is recommended that you do a little study on what are the best smartphone brands. Getting a phone from some of the trusted smartphone brands will guarantee you efficiency, durability, and the latest technology. Some of the tested brands include Samsung, Apple, Sony, and LG. However, recent companies such as Huawei, Vivo, Oppo, and Infinix have made their presence known by proving that their phones are reliable, durable, and even stylish.


Operating System
A phone’s operating system is a software that supports the basic functions of your smartphone. When purchasing a new smartphone, always pay attention to what operating system it uses. If you want the best android phone then you need a phone with the latest operating system. In 2020, the latest OS is Android 10. However, if you are buying an Apple phone then you are lucky because all the latest iPhones including iPhone X, iPhone 8 as well as older ones like iPhone SE runs on the latest version of the Apple Operating System.

Processor 

The processor is the heart of your device. Choose a smartphone with 4 cores or quadcore at a minimum to have a satisfying experience using your smartphone. Take note also the clock speed of your processor. Choose at least 3.0 GHz clock speed to have a speedier device. Even you have high RAM capacity but a slower processor, your smartphone will be slow. The speed in processing data and opening your applications will still be determined by the speed of your processor.

RAM Capacity
A RAM is a form of computer memory that holds the data on your phone. You might be having the latest Vivo phone but if it has insufficient RAM capacity, it may not be able to work optimally. Furthermore, with a good Ram capacity, your phone will be able to multitask efficiently. When buying a new phone trying to avoid handsets with less than 2GB RAM. A 4GB RAM is good and standard. However, the latest flagships have up to 8GB which makes the phone very swift.

Storage

With applications bulging from a few MB to GB when you are using it, having a large data storage will put you in a very great advantage. I suggest you should have minimum storage of 64GB. You can install plenty of applications if you have 64GB and above storage. In addition, photographs and videos you took may consume some of your storage. Having large storage will not annoy you in uninstalling applications, deleting your favorite photos, and removing application cache.

Camera
We are living in an era where the camera matters more than the processor, especially considering most people use their phone's camera as their primary shooters. To get the best camera phone look for a phone with fast focus and decent low light performance. A phone with a minimum of 12 megapixels is a good bet but don’t go by only that stat. Instead pay attention to the aperture, speed, features, and image quality. For instance, the iPhone X has a dual-camera on the back that offers a true 2x optical zoom and comes with a portrait mode for blurring out the background. If you love photography and want to start with your mobile phone, you need to choose a phone that you can change the aperture, shutter speed, and exposure of your camera. It will help you take a better photo.

Battery

Smartphones consume a lot of battery power when in use. It is advisable to get a phone with high capacity. A minimum of 4000Mah will make your phone last for a day before recharging it. Having a high capacity battery will save you from additional expenses on the power banks.


Price
The price is also a key factor when buying a smartphone online. Before you buy a smartphone online always take a few minutes and research what the existing rate is for your chosen smartphone. When shopping online, always do comparison shopping to get the best deal. For instance, if you chose to go with a Huawei smartphone, check out what price Shopee or Aliexpress is offering, as well as the different vendors selling the same product. This way you will have saved a fortune as you might get a phone selling for Php 19,999, is Php2,000 less in another online store. When buying online, I don’t recommend Lazada, if you want to receive a stone or a block of wood, buy from them. Lazada has plenty of fake sellers. I had been a victim before of wrong items, defective units, bogus sellers, and many more.

Manufacturer’s Warranty
When buying a smartphone doesn’t just focus on the features, but also pays attention to whether the smartphone you are buying has a warranty. Without a warranty
, it would be difficult to submit your claim in case the phone is defective. In most of the known brands, they give a 1-year manufacturer’s warranty. Ask for your warranty card or keep your official receipt to claim the warranty when needed.
