5 Things To Consider Before Buying A New Smartphone by BridleTech: 2:06am On Jun 14, 2018
With the rise of numerous mobile phones in the market, one might be having the confusion of which and what phone to choose from considering the numbers of brands, phone's configuration with different prices available in the market today.

We all can't do without our Smartphones these days because they play a major role in this modern era, Looking at all the options mentioned above, it is very certain that one could end up buying a phone that won't serve its intended purpose or beyond expectations.

The tips we will be discussing won't be on just any kind of phones but Smartphones specifically be it Android, iOS or Windows mobile but before that, I want to remind you of some of the key questions you should ask while buying a new smartphone.

What are the Hardware and Software configurations of the smartphone you are buying?
Does it have a large battery capacity?, How long will the battery last? or
Does it support fast charging?

Here are the 5 things you should look out for:

1. Operating System

As we know that the popularly used operating systems are iOS, Android, and Windows with each of having different functions and features. And the widely used OS is the iOS or Android, it is important to note that you must take into consideration if you are going for the iOS or Android operating system device.

If you are looking to buy a smartphone with sophisticated features and unique design that will give you seamless user experience then you should go for iOS but mind you the smartphones with this OS comes heavy with price tags so you should know what you are up against.

Meanwhile with Android, the interface offers you a wholesome customizable user experience or should I say it gives you the FREEDOM to do much more with your device which can be very educative, and also you have lots I mean lots of access to millions of Applications on its AppStore called Google Playstore, Most of this applications are mostly Free for download and are very useful for your daily needs irrespectives of their funtions unlike iOS apps that are majorly been paid for before you can access them and this is why the Android OS is being accepted by all and most especially to the Developers and Tech Enthusiats.

2. Cost

One thing for sure is that the higher the price, the higher the configurations, however, this doesn’t mean that you have to break the bank or inconvenience yourself in order to get the high specifications and features. There are many brands out there with a lower price that will still provide you with the specifications that will serve your needs.

So all you have to do is to shop around (Online or Sales outlet) with the budget you have in mind and this will give you a strong decision making on the type of smartphone you want to buy.
However, if you still want the higher the price, the higher the configurations (be it iOS or Android device), you might want to save up for that.

3. Processor

This is one feature that can't be overlooked because the processor or the processing power of a phone will determine how swift your smartphone will operate under the demands of multiple applications running and countless web pages all being opened at once with no glitches encountered.

As a heavy user (most especially on Android smartphones) who needs to do lots of activities on his/her smartphone either for editing images/videos/documents online or offline, play heavy games, stream videos or use apps on split-screen mode, then smartphones with chipsets like Qualcomm Snapdragon 652 or Snapdragon 820/821 to the latest version should be your choice. Meanwhile for a light user can still settle for MediaTek processors.

And also surfing through gadget review platforms or asking around in stores for the suitable smartphone of your choice should also help you in making the right decisions.

4. Camera

The camera with good quality should be high in your considerations when buying a new smartphone, especially if you are a picture lover.

The high number of pixels means that the size of the image is bigger, which makes it sharper and clearer when seen on a small screen.............http://www.bridletech.com/2018/06/5-things-to-consider-before-buying-new.html

I think one more thing is how to deal with your old mobile phone. Whether you are selling or staying it at home, you need to back up important data.

You can sell your old Android device on eBay or Craigslist. But let's talk about a question: what about the private data you stored in the old Android device? Such as contacts, text messages, passwords, emails ... you name it.

Feel annoyed to delete Android files manually one by one? Luckily, you can erase everything on your Android phone with just one click now, as long as you have this professional Android Data Eraser. It allows you to remove overall file types, such as contacts, messages, videos, photos, audio files, notes, calendars, emails, account information, passwords, call history, apps and many more from Android phone and Android tablet in one click.
