Wrong. The most important is the prize. People are just not aware that price influence their decision.

In the tech world today, so many things evolve around especially changes in the production of tech products, so many things, features and specifications of most mobile phones and gadgets have also taken a new look so because of these one or two changes in the tech market today, it is important to note very important things before buying any tech product.

Things To Note Before Buying Any phone

In this post i have decided to share with a 5 very important things to note before buying any phone, i have done some pretty good research lately and i have some very great things i will like you to note in your success of buying any phone.

5 Very Important Things To Note Before Buying Any Phone

Advances in innovation such as processing power, smart applications, net connection, more memory area and increased battery power are moving smart device and tablet market to new heights than ever. With a lot of choices offered, it is becoming more of a tough task to purchase the ideal mobile phone that suits you. Here are 5 important things you have to consider when purchasing a mobile phone or tablet. And i will be discussing them according to their importance!

The Phone's Battery Life

How long my phone will last will determine how well i would use it. Sincerely if my phone battery life is short it would really discouraged me from using it always because anytime i am using it i would be thinking of how to charge, but what if am in a place where electricity is poor? Of course you may say i should have gotten a POWER BANK now, but seriously get a power bank, when major battery spoilers now in the tech markets are power banks. This is the more reason the first thing and most important thing you note before buying any phone is the battery life, or as some may put it battery capacity. Now what type of battery capacity are we taking of, well i might be more direct on Android phones here because iPhone and Blackberry batteries are very good and compatible with the sort of phone produced for, but many have issues with Android phones, mostly though because Android phones do run lots of applications simultaneously because of course Android is all about applications so because of this the battery might tend to drain faster compared to iPhone or Blackberry devices. When looking at the battery capacity of any phone before buying it, make sure the battery capacity specification is at least 2000 or 2500 mAh minimum, with such battery capacity specification, you should expect a phone usage of 6-8 hours even with browsing, watching of movies and musics.

The Phone's Camera Quality

My second most important thing to note before buying any phone is the camera quality. We all like good picture qualities and great snapshots to upload on our social media pages. Though some may say i am not going for a phone because of this camera, that there are other important features about a phone without camera, but the thing is you can't talk about a phone without talking about its camera quality. No matter how one may say camera is not important or one is not interested in it, it will get to a them you will need to take some important photos like files or documents to upload instead of scanning them and now the quality of the phone's camera comes to play. So what are you going to do? Borrow A phone? Its advisable to look at the camera quality before you buy any smartphone, camera specification should be at least 8MP megapixel rear or back camera and also 2MP front camera and with Flash enabled too.

The Size Of Phone - Display Screen

The third thing i advice you should look out for when buying any phone is the screen size, visual experience plays a crucial role in identifying the quality of an item. This makes screen size a significant feature to search for when purchasing either mobile phone or a tablet. An ideal screen to some extent can overshadow the flaws in a design. Screen is also the single most costly and crucial hardware part in a smartphone and tablet. It is also cool when playing games and watching movies, you would love a very wide screen foe that. So the minimum screen size you should go for on any phone is at least 4.5" inch.

The Phone's Memory Capacity

Another very important thing to note before buying any phone is the phone's memory capacity. A phone with a very low memory cannot be enjoyed. The two features of a memory in a phone is its RAM and ROM, the RAM is one important stuff you have to check out, it helps a lot as with a very large RAM on your phone you can open as many applications simultaneously with experiencing problems on phone hangs or speed. Well a minimum of a 2GB RAM is best foe any phone you are going to buy but though 1GB is not bad too. For the ROM, this is the storage/phone memory, its very important to store files on your phone for mobile accessibility and also with a huge ROM, more files can be stored, movies, pictures, musics and a whole lot more. Make sure you choose a phone with a ROM of at least 16GB.

The Phone's Price

Lastly on the very important things to note before buying any phone, is the price of the phone. You might have tauted that perhaps the price should come first, but its better when it comes last because when ever one sees a phone especially Internet users, we first checkout the various specifications like those i have listed above, before one even can check the price. So the price is the last stuff to deal with as it finalise the deal. Well depending on the location or country, prices may range for different products, so its advisable to compare prices of similar phones to the one you are considering of buying then you can now know if its okay, so you can purchase it!

So that's all i have on 5 Very Important Things To Note Before Buying Any Phone. Hope you loved it and was able to get one or two things you might need ti start considering before buying that phone.

Akpos and the Teacher


Teacher: There will be an
elementary science test next
week. Contrary to his nature,
Akpos reads his book from cover
to cover like no man's business.
On test day, teacher lines up
about 5 birds, covering each with
a piece of cloth so only their legs
are visible.
Question 1: Looking at the leg of a
bird write down its' common
name, species, family, zoological
name, habitat etc.
After about 20 mins of frustration
and not writing down anything,
Akpos storms to the teacher's
desk and slams his blank sheet in
front of the teacher. 'Sir,this test
makes no sense! I am going
home!'
Teacher: What a rude boy! Come
back here. What is your name?
Akpos raises his trouser and
points to his leg: 'Oya u too, look
my leg na, tell me my name, my
surname, where I dey live, which
tribe I come from....

battery first, the rest follows. some might say sebi there is powerbank, fvck powerbanks cos u will hardly find the one with the exact capacity stated on its body. a 20,000 mah powerbank comes with half the capacity(10,000) in real sense of it. dont waste ur money buying an expensive phone that has 2500mah, guy ur ba3 will run down in 4hours on heavy usage. a phone with 4000mah plus can go 7hours plus on heavy usage.

dude the end of a phone starts when it falls inside water. taking it to a tech guy will only make the owner incure unnecessary cost. the best thing u could have done is to get a new phone. u shouldnt say because of ur experience with a brand (which is by no means a fault from the brand) that the brand is terrible. any phone can fall into water and stop working be it iphone, samsung or infinix. the short circuit that occurs inside the phone with the presence of water causes real damage to the phone.

You should also not forget the following important features...

Availability of replacement parts and aftersales services. Phones will definitely become faulty, when you have to wait for a part as small as mouthpiece or battery to be imported by special order then you are in big shit.

When considering price,one must also consider the cost of maintenance, repairs and second hand value.

... Personally, I also consider the rootability of the device.
Hmm, true talk man.. Thanks!
