Smartphones: How to Choose the Right One



No matter what type of smartphone you’re looking for, there are plenty of choices available on the market.

Do you prefer an affordable phone with basic features, or would you rather have all the bells and whistles you can imagine?

In today’s day and age, we use our smartphones in so many different ways – from checking email to watching movies – that it can be difficult to figure out exactly what you need when choosing the right phone for your lifestyle. To help you decide which smartphone is best for you, here are some important things to consider.

Think about your budget
It’s easy to get caught up in specs and features when deciding on a new phone, but it’s important not to forget your budget. In some ways, you can use your budget as a guide for what type of smartphone will work best for you. If you don’t want to spend a lot of money on a phone plan, purchasing a more affordable device might be your best bet. On the other hand, if money isn’t an issue for you, there are plenty of high-end devices that offer better overall value than cheaper alternatives. Whichever route you choose will ultimately depend on how much control (or access) you need from your smartphone—it’s important to think about what you really need from your device and price accordingly.

Smartphone Features to Look For
You should be looking for certain features before purchasing a new smartphone. The first thing you should look for is whether or not it’s compatible with your provider. If it’s not, then it won’t be very useful to you. Next, if you love photography and video, then you might want a phone that comes with a great camera so that you can make sure your photos are clear and sharp. Lastly, if money isn’t an issue for you then there are many other features on smartphones such as storage capacity and battery life which could come in handy as well.

If you want a device that does it all, then a flagship phone is probably your best bet. Flagship phones like Apple’s iPhone or Samsung’s Galaxy line typically offer top-of-the-line processing power and graphics capabilities as well as impressive cameras and a beautiful design.

What Do You Want to Use Your Smartphone For?
The first thing you need to think about is what you want to use your smartphone for. Do you need a phone that can give you access on-the-go to information like maps, websites, and email? Or do you just want a phone for calling and texting? Do you want a solid camera as well? These are all things that will affect your choice of smartphone. For example, if you’re planning on traveling soon or are looking for something with great GPS features, then a mid-range or high-end smartphone might be more suitable for your needs than something cheaper.

Do You Need Support and Warranty Options?
Smartphones are one of your most prized possessions—and they can be pretty expensive. Make sure you find a cellphone that’s both affordable and offers support and warranty options. It’s important to know that if your phone breaks or stops working for some reason, you have somewhere to go for help (even if it’s just customer service!). And if your phone does break during normal wear-and-tear, make sure there are warranty options available so you don’t have to pay full price! Most phones last a few years; buying a device with an extended warranty is usually well worth it.

Do Features Like 4G Make Sense In Your Region?
While many smartphones are designed for high-speed 4G connectivity, it’s important to consider whether these features will be useful for you. If you frequently travel and need fast data, a 4G device may be right for you. However, if you stay in one area or use Wi-Fi most of the time, there’s no need to pay extra for 4G capabilities when they won’t necessarily be beneficial. You can also opt for a smartphone that supports 3G connectivity—it won’t provide as much speed but should do well enough if you live in an area with less cell phone coverage and rely on your phone more often than not. It all comes down to what works best for your unique situation—which is why having choices is always such a great thing!

iPhone1
When it comes to choosing a smartphone, Apple’s iPhone reigns supreme. With its vast range of apps and its quality camera, there’s no denying that iPhone is one of—if not THE—best smartphones available on the market today. There’s also no denying that it has a hefty price tag attached to it. If you want an iPhone but don’t want to pay top dollar for one, think about purchasing a used version online or at a second-hand retailer instead.

Samsung Galaxy2
With over a million and a half apps available, one of your biggest priorities should be picking out a phone that has enough storage for you. Samsung Galaxy phones have tons of storage, giving you more room to save music, pictures, and video without running out of space. They’re also more affordable than Apple iPhones.

Google Pixel3
Google’s flagship phone, released in 2016, packs some of Google’s most advanced features, including a 12.3-megapixel camera with optical image stabilization and improved HDR+ processing. The Pixel is also currently one of two phones on Project Fi, Google’s wireless service. With three color options and 32GB or 128GB memory options (along with microSD expansion), it looks great and holds plenty of photos too.

Motorola Moto G Power4
In terms of bang for your buck, it’s hard to beat Motorola’s latest offering. The Moto G offers an HD screen, 13-megapixel camera, and LTE capabilities for $199.99 without a contract. Even if you are concerned about battery life, we think these are still great values and well worth considering if you’re in the market for a new phone.
