In a world driven by technology we need the tools that give us the right functionality, we want uninterrupted and affordable access to a world made possible by technology. The days when phones were used primarily for making and receiving calls are long gone. These days people use their smartphones for a variety of things besides calling.
But do we always know exactly what mobile devices suit our needs, or merely follow the latest tech?
Cell C understands that the choices can simply be daunting, so we’ve brought you ten (10) Tips and Tricks on how to find the smartphone that best serves your lifestyle needs.
- Know how much you want to invest in a smartphone, the more high-tech the more the investment, but you want to match that with the value you get.
- Consider what you want to use the smartphone for, besides calling and messaging; this will tell you what features and functionality you need to have.
- Think about what operating system you prefer on a mobile device as this has an impact on the features and functionality you want and beyond utility features, the key privacy, and security updates.
- How much storage you need will determine the capacity specification of phone, particularly if you consume and store plenty of large files and content regularly.
- A long battery life will help eliminate constant charging, particularly in heavy use cases that result in high power consumption.
- The actual proportions, quality, and size of phone matters, for example screen size and resolution, there are many display types available in smartphones.
- Processing performance and memory whilst being power efficient may be important if you want to have more applications running on your device beyond social media apps and calling, for example.
- Camera quality tends to be one of the main reasons why people buy a smartphone. You can easily find the right one by searching for some online photos taken by that specific mobile model.
- Do shop around, look for the best promotions and promo deals that give you more bang for your buck.
- Other considerations and bonus features include speaker quality, water-resistance, wireless charging and shatterproof to keep the stress away, and other qualities that may be purely aesthetic
Today’s mobile phone technology is focused on offering new features for multipurpose use beyond calling and messaging and while there are plenty of options, it is important to know which smartphone is the best for you by assessing your needs.
