How to choose a Smartphone

Choosing a smartphone requires a bit of technical knowledge and if you have some already, then it is just good. You can though say that smartphones these days are getting better and better and more on the way, cheaper. Though you sometimes get confused of the available choices. Well, this article is to help you out with that problem exactly.

 Well, you still do require to know a bit of technical knowledge. But you will need it later, not now.

 

The nexus 6P was one of the
 best Google phones.

Provided that now-a-days phones come with  whole lots of specifications and complex things, a predefined comparison on a site does the job better. But what about the actual or real world performance? what about reliability?  I assume you can solve this just by watching YouTube videos but still, you wont be satisfied with some of the parameters shown. 

Now, coming to the actual point, you just need to be a bit clever. Since online sites would be showing you the good specifications and advertisers would do that too on a larger scale. You got only few options, but first check out the tricks below.

These are the 5 simple ways to choose a perfect smartphone of any type of budget.

1. First, choose few phones which you would like to buy according to your budget. You can take the help of online shopping sites. Then check out their reviews on top searched phone review sites. If you ask me, I recommend "GSMarena.com" and the ones that follow. They accurately give a brief up review of almost of all kinds of phones along with their hardware's performance tests and scores. Try reading and understanding them to possibility.

2. Then go and check out online YouTube video review sites which does the same thing but with the phone in the video footage itself. There you can check out the phone's actual looks and even it required other parts and hardware descriptions.

3. The above two is enough for you to choose a specific smartphone based on reviews. Now comes the interesting part. If you want to know about the common hardware quality and their performance, then you have to look out for few performance ratings. Synthetic benchmarks are one as they provide proof of the internal hardware's performance via points and scores/ratings. That will help you out in case you are doubting your phone's performance. Same goes for the screen type, battery performance and audio speakers, microphones.

4. If you are camera oriented or just want a phone with a good camera in it, then there is another trick other than the brief up reviews. You can actually check out the camera samples which are sometimes provided by the review sites. Well only few provides the original full resolution ones. But the downsampled ones are OK too.

5. The last trick is too find out users of the particular phone you will be buying. They can be available online on many sites, sometimes presenting their own review or advantages/disadvantages, which might help you out with more and refined choices that you may like.

6. The above tricks will help you out for choosing some random phones and then you yourself can sort out the best one. But you are going to buy a phone, but of which brand? which brand gives the best value for money? These are indeed problematic thoughts which you will encounter when you are choosing a particular smartphone. But there is a simple solution to that too. 
Phones instead of their body, screen, audio, screen type, all phones have more or less the common configurations. For example, most of the budget phones either come with 1080p, 3-4GB of RAM sizes. Most commonly used SoC chipset for budget phones is the Snapdragon 625(now its clocked up and clocked down versions too). Else, the phone is different in terms of UI, battery sizes, battery backups, Screen quality, screen resolution, body material and much more. 

To sort on that, you can check out the list below that gives you an approx idea of the different phone brands that have the best features apart from chipsets and internals.

If you are in need of a phone with a metallic body then brands like Moto, Nokia, Asus, Lenovo, Apple, Samsung, Huwaei (Honor) are common. They have around the best metallic bodies even for budget phones.

If you are in need for simple Interface regarding Android OS, or just want Google Stock Android OS (which does provide a small improvement for performance even for low power chipsets and is also much much simple) and dont want a custom UI then brands like Moto, Nokia, Lenovo are the best. 

If you are in need of better battery backups, then brands like Redmi, Samsung, Lenovo are common as they provide either bigger battery packs or highly efficient chipsets to conserve battery life. Samsung still provides highly efficient chips even on smaller battery packs. 

If you are in need of big screen phones, then brands like Redmi, Samsung, Moto(now), Honor are the best among them. Redmi provides better GPUs too for the higher resolution screens to run better.

Well, now you do have a simple solution for choosing a perfect smartphone.
