Tips to buy a perfect smartphone

These days buying a smartphone is itself a difficult task. There are millions of smartphone available in market in various price ranges. So today I'm gonna tell you some useful tips to buy a perfect smartphone that suits you best.

Before that first you should decide what kind of user are you. Basically there three kind of users. Light user, moderate user and heavy user.


Light user:
A light user may not use phone for more than 3 hours a day. He will make 2 or 3 calls per day and may check their mails. They don't play games or listen to music in their phones. If you fall in these category selecting a phone is very easy you don't need to do any research.

Moderate user:
A moderate user use their phone for around 5-6 hrs.They make 3-4 phone calls play moderate graphics games, and spend most of their time in social networking sites.

Heavy user:
They are the one who can't live without their phones. They are hardcore gamers who play graphics demanding games like Asphalt 8, Mortal Combat 5, Real Racing 3. They often do Multi Tasking like listening to music while chatting in phone. They use their phone like a pc and try to do most of their day to day task with their phone. If you fall in this category selecting a phone is a great difficult task.


So below are the things which you should consider

Processor:

These days processor are mostly either quadcore or octacore. You can get double the performance from octacore comparing to quad core. There are two giant processor manufacturers namely Mediatek and Qualcomm. Budget phones around 5K usually come with Quadcore while flagship devices come with Octacore  





Qualcomm processors are costly comparing to mediatek. They outperform Mediatek in most of the cases. Qualcomm processors are preferred for gaming and multi tasking



Mediatek processors are great for budget smartphones. You can't expect to play very high end games without any lag but you can play moderate graphics demanding games at medium or low settings with low FPS.

Ram:


                                        
Earlier rams were too low in smartphones like 512 Mb. Today, they have been improved to a greater extend. For light user 1-2 Fb of ram is enough. 3 Gb of ram is preferred for both moderate user and 4-6 Gb is prefered for heavy user.

Screen Size:

• 4.5 inches
• 5 inches       
• 5.5 inches
  
• 5.5+ inches

4.5 inches: Mostly suitable for lite user. Goes easily in pocket. Easy to hold with one hand. Best to make phone calls.

5 inches: Suitable for moderate users. Mostly it has 720p HD Display. Best to watch videos. Goes in pant pocket but difficult to place in your shirt pocket.

5.5 inches and above:Best for both moderate and heavy user. Comes in HD, Full HD, and 4K displays. Needs both hands to hold. This big display is needed to play graphics demanding games.

Camera: 

If you don't take much photos then you need a phone with 8 mp rear and 2 mp front camera. A good camera will always help you in many situations. So always buy a phone with a camera of minimum 8 mp. If you are craze about photos then you need minimum of 12 mp camera. If you are selfie addict then go fir minimum 5 mp front camera. There days dual cameras are seen which is also a good option which offers various blur and bokeh effect

Battery: 

This is the most important thing according to me in smartphones. There are many phones with good specification but poor battery. A 2000 mAh battery is enough for a lite user. A moderate user needs 3000 mAh to 3500 mAh which gives around one day backup. A heavy user needs minimum 4000 mAh battery which will give a backup of 1.5 to 2 days. Dont buy a phone with high specs but poor battery.

Brand:

Actually I am not crazy about brands. If the specs is good then you can definitely go for it. There is nothing special about brands like samsung, sony, moto,etc. Certain brands do high pricing in order to see more profit while others do business with marginal profit. If possible you can buy phones directly from china with the help of websites like aliexpress, banggood, gearbest, tomtop, etc. China is the global hub for manufacturing of electronics and pretty much every phone is manufactured there. If you buy directly from chinese manufacturers like Umidigi, Elephone, and a lot of other genuine manufacturers I'm sure you can see a big difference in price for same specs that you see in local retail

OS: 
                                 

If you want to be latest in every thing buy a phone which will give you update of next upcoming OS. The manufacturer will give update only if your mobile is a hit model and has many users. If you don't bother about OS they don't concentrate on this. Right now you can buy phones with either Nougat or Oreo

Price: 

Buy a phone for around 5K to 6.5k if you are a lite user. 7k- 12k for a moderate user. Above 12k for a heavy user. 

Conclusion:

I hope these tips will be useful in buying the right smartphone within your budget.
