Tips to finding the right smartphone for you

Given below are some tips that will help you find the best smartphone for you

  • Get yourself the best one you can afford: Buying a smartphone shouldn’t be an austerity measure, but consider it an investment. If you go for a low cost, feature-less smartphone with an obsolete OS version, chances are that you will start having pangs of regret less than a week into owning it. The stubborn touch sensitivity coupled with the frequent hang and overall below par performance associated with such phones is anyone’s nightmare. We are not advising to burn a hole in your pocket and go for high-end devices, but there are reasonably priced models that offer decent smartphone experience. You can use the web to find the prices of different models. For instance, if you need a price list of Micromax mobiles, you can search the web for Micromax Mobile Price List. Similarly, you can gather info on other manufacturers as well.
  • Know what you want: Smartphones come with myriad features, most of which an average user may never know exists. So make sure you are paying for features that you are going to use at some point. For instance, a curved design with a customized stylus is something you can do without, whereas features like navigation and maps fall into the latter category.
