How to choose a smartphone? What you need to know when buying?
Today, the market for mobile devices is simply bursting from the abundance of gadgets presented on the shelves. But at the same time, I personally have long made a conclusion that the choice is now worth making only focusing on two factors: price and appearance. Yes, it’s so simple.

Every year, smartphones are becoming more “smart”, and the previous models become obsolete. Therefore, in this article we will try to answer the question of how to choose a smartphone in 2016. What should the future owners of such a gadget pay attention to?
There are many classifications of smartphones by which you can make the primary separation of such gadgets:
- Model cost: budget, middle class, higher than the middle and top models
- Operating system: Android, iOS, Windows Phone and less popular
- Screen diagonal and other dimensions
- Characteristics of the processor, RAM, camera, built -in memory, etc.
operating system
In principle, you can group smartphones according to characteristics for a very long time. Therefore, we turn immediately to the main thing.
Most often, the choice of such a gadget is based on the operating system on which it works
- The most popular mobile OS today is Android. Users of this operating system can download many free applications and use your smartphone to solve almost all modern problems
- In second place is the operating system in popularity iOS from Apple. It is installed only on iPhone and iPad. Apple smartphones also have the ability to install any applications he needs, which can be downloaded via App Store
- In third place, but with a significant removal of two leaders there is an operational system Windows Phone From Microsoft. Unfortunately, this interesting OS has fewer admirers. What is poured out in the fact that not every developer, releasing the applications, implements it for Windows Phone, although everything necessary in the store of this operating system is available
Processor and other "filling"
If you have decided on the operating system, feel free to study the hardware platform of smartphones to select the one that is suitable for your needs and pockets. It is worth paying special attention to the characteristics of the processor, RAM, graphic processor and built -in memory.
CPU
Processors of modern smartphones work at a different clock frequency and consist of a different number of nuclei
But, do not chase the number of processor nuclei. The clock frequency is much more important. The higher it is, the faster the smartphone will work in multitasking mode.
Graphic processor
If you are going to use a smartphone as a game console, then the characteristics of the video accelerator are very important. The higher they are, the more realistic the graphics in games will be and the more resource -fitting games you can play. The characterization of the graphic processor will be determined in Flops. The higher this value, the more productive the smartphone.
RAM
Most often, modern smartphones have from 1 to 4 gigabytes of RAM. Although now you can buy a gadget with 8 gigabytes of memory. The more RAM, the faster the smartphone processor will be able to process the tasks set by the user.
Memory for files
The internal memory of the smartphone is necessary for installing the operating system and user files on it: photos, videos, applications, documents, etc. Most smartphones can be increased due to memory card microsd.
Camera
Modern smartphones are not only phones, game consoles and players
- With their help, you can create beautiful photos. Moreover, the built -in chambers of smartphones take better than digital "soapons" that we were proud of a few years ago
- In all modern smartphones, two cameras are installed: the main and frontal. The front camera is necessary for video calls that can be carried out using most popular messengers. Therefore, its characteristics are not so important. But the characteristics of the main camera, with which you will take your wonderful pictures, must be taken into account when choosing a smartphone
- But, do not build your choice only on characteristics. They do not always reflect the real essence of the camera. It is best to look at the pictures taken by a specific smartphone using specialized forums, and determine for yourself the model that makes them best
To date, the best cameors are: Samsung Galaxy S7, Apple iPhone 6s, Microsoft Lumia 950 XL, Meizu Mx5 And LG G4.
Battery
And finally, the last important characteristic of the smartphones that must be taken into account when choosing this is the battery
- The larger its container, the longer you can use your gadget without charging. Of course, if you spend most of the time next to the source of electricity, then the battery capacity is not so important. If, you have to spend more time without such access, then choose smartphones with a capacious battery or buy a portable charger. You can also expand the battery life of a smartphone using a cover with a built -in battery
- When choosing a smartphone, make sure that its dimensions allow you to conveniently use such a gadget. The larger the smartphone, the greater the diagonal of its screen. This is good for reading, watching videos, Internet surfing and games. But, a large screen is not always convenient when everyday use of such a device
- In addition to the screen diagonal, it is worth considering its resolution, protective coating, etc. .. To complete the picture, watch such an interesting video about what you should pay attention to when choosing a smartphone:
