Things To Consider Before Buying A Smartphone

The purchase of a mobile phone has now become a difficult task in the present day mobile market as there are many phones from different manufacturers. The range extends from colours to display sizes and from storage to ram sizes. Thousands of features have been introduced and every device does not come up with all those built-in functions. Hence, this has made trouble for mobile buyers to depict the right choice and which phone suits best to them.

  • Huawei (China)
  • Nokia (Finland)
  • Samsung (South Korea)
  • Apple (US)
  • Oppo (China)
  • Vivo (China)
  • Redmi (China)
  • Motorola (US)
  • Alcatel
  • Xiaomi (China)

Mobile are in production since the 1980s. Millions and billions of mobile handsets have been produced by telecom companies till now. Each set produced is unique in its features and is built or launched to target a specific group of people. For example, the phone with big LED flashlights and a quad-camera setup are ideal for night photographers.

There is a long list of cellphone manufacturers, and we cannot discuss them but here are famous handset manufacturers that we would be enlisting. Among them include,

You would be now thinking that China has more shares in mobile production than any other country. One more thing, almost all the cellphones being used in the world are produced in China. Even the smartphones from expensive device manufacturers like Apple and Samsung get their cellphones produced from China. All the cellphone equipment is made by Chinese based manufacturing company known as FOXCONN. Every part of a mobile phone from the micro-chip level to the body is made in China. Only the research work on mobile advancement, design improvement and software is done in Europe or America but again all the hardware is produced in China due to cheap assembling solutions and material production. Hence, you do not have to worry about the replacement, repair, and maintenance of your mobile phone.

Chinese smartphones are always cheaper in terms of cost. Many Chinese companies such as Huawei (One of the biggest smartphone manufacturers), Oppo, Vivo, Xiaomi and Redmi launch their phones in different price categories. You can say that these companies always provide a low range, mid-range or budget range and high range mobile phones.

One of the best things about Chinese mobiles is that they not only provide cheap cellphones, but they also provide all high-end features in budget phones. High-end features include quad-camera setup, wireless charging, fast charging, in-display fingerprint sensor, dot or drop screen notch display and powerful CPU. Although, you have good Storage and RAM for smooth performance on daily tasks. One more thing good about Chinese sets is that they have the longest batteries, and you can rely on a Chinese handset for more than 3 days. 5000mah and 8000mah batteries are widely used in Chinese handsets. Overall, Chinese handsets are budget-friendly. Therefore, there is also a lack in quality units being produced as they are produced in bulk with no such great care. This Chinese cellphone also does not meet the international quality checkpoints. So, you have to compromise on the built quality and reliability of the devices.

The Chinese sets do not have great cameras for professional photo shooting and camera cellphone do not give exact pixels as rated on the phone box. For great shooting, Samsung, Nokia and Apple are in competition with each other. Apple and Samsung cellphone have far great cameras but at the same time, they also cost too much price tag. Every year, both companies launch their flagship smartphones with sky-touching prices with high-end advances and new technological features to catch the mobile user market. Nokia is somehow budget-friendly on the camera side. They have an average camera module; not too bad nor bad. Currently, Nokia is integrating its mid-range series and flagship series smartphones with ZEISS optics lenses for premium image shooting. The ZEISS is one of the widely known camera equipment manufacturers after Canon and Nikon.

There are many things to compromise on in Chinese phones such as they also lack durability. In this regard, as always it is said that nothing is tougher than Nokia 3310. Surprisingly, Nokia is still designing durable, tough and reliable cellphones to wave their legacy of being the strongest device ever in the market. Nokia phones have not the better but best life. The Nokia phones of the 1990s can still be powered on and used. Of course, No one would pick up those bricks.

Samsung and Apple phones are somehow stand in average lines in terms of durability.

Google Pixel smartphones are best in terms of Operating systems. As all, us know that Android is the best and most widely used OS in the whole world. It has more than 80% of its shares in the OS market. Android being launched in 2006 as one of Google’s system software products has now covered up the mobile world. Google Pixel smartphones are up to date, have stock android without blot software or apps, and receive the first update directly from Google. Similarly, Nokia has also partnered with Google’s Android and Nokia has been producing Android smartphones since its comeback in the market. Nokia and Pixel phones run on the latest Android platforms named Android One which means that these cellphones would be number #1 in line to get software or security patch updates.

Other than Google Pixel and Nokia, Android smartphones receive late software and security updates since they all are full of blot wares and respective company’s customized Android OS. You might have seen ads running on the side of Chinese phones, and you might have felt being cluttered.

When we talk about the hardware, Apple, Huawei, Samsung, and Redmi are considered as one the powerful cell-phones. Currently, Chinese manufacturers have produced gaming phones in a large sum to meet the demand of the game market. After the launch of PUBG, Asphalt and Fortnite, people indulge in buying phones with long battery life and amazing CPU/GPU power. Most of the high end and gaming devices have Snapdragon processors but some MediaTek processors also assure blazing performance. Almost, every device that is being produced has mediocre RAM and ROM. Although, you must choose storage according to your data requirements.

In the end, I would recommend you to please see the smartphone specifications on the website of the phone manufacturer before the purchase of any phone whether it is a smartphone or a bar phone. Compare the cellphone of different categories, toggle on the websites of different manufacturers and search on Google search engine for the prices. Several websites offer you wide options to select a price range, RAM/ROM, camera pixels, battery, and many more things to find those phones which meet your needs. Please verify the authentication of the smartphone with the IMEI number if you are purchasing a used or a new phone. The smartphone must be approved by your telecom authority for the safe usage of the device and if in case you lost that phone so then your country’s authorities can have access to trace that device to protect your phones data.
