Day by day the smartphone market is booming to a new level. There is so much competition in every price range that a user finds him in dilemma of choice. Companies list out large number many features in their products. The confusion arises when each model has a unique feature as its primary attraction. To sought out this problem i will try to give some suggestions to you.
Finalize the primary features:
Think about the feature which you 'really require' apart from calling. Companies have marketing strategies to sell their product anyway. You may be buying a feature which you will never use in lifetime. Companies attract consumers by themselves introducing a feature in that product and try proving that this was the thing you were really wanting. Therefore decide yourself the purpose like how much battery backup is required, whether you want outdoor visibility, how will you surf internet on that, how you are going to use multimedia and how often will you use camera etc.
Confirm the above features within your budget:
Check whether the above features falls in your budget or not. If not you cut some less desirable features which you first listed out. Here is some quick description of some features.
Battery Backup:
Check the battery's backup by noting its maximum talk time, maximum standby time and maximum music playback time. This can be one of important features to some of you depending upon your work.
Processor:
Check the clock rate(Hz) of processor and number of cores in it e.g. 1 Ghz dual core. More the clock rate faster is the calculations per unit time (It also depends upon clock rate and memory of RAM i.e. both should go hand in hand). More cores, better is for multitasking but it does not mean that 1 Ghz dual core will be faster than 1 Ghz single core. It all depends on the running program which utilizes it. So you can see a single core smartphone running smoother that quad core smartphone !
Main Memory (RAM) :
This is one of most important factor. It will decide the speed (as its slower than processor) and its amount will decide the heaviness of running application.
Display:
Check the resolution of screen (eg. 1280 * 720) and the colors it generates (eg. 16 million). Apart from this check pixels per inch (ppi) of screen which may vary according to screen size. These two factors alone can not decide display quality. You have to check its brightness level, quality of colors generated, viewing angles and outdoor visibility according to your requirement. Also check the touch screen quality, toughness of screen i.e. resistance to shocks.
Connectivity:
Check the versions of generation(eg. 3G or 4G), WiFi, WCDMA, GSM, Bluetooth, USB ports etc according to your use.
Camera:
Smartphone companies plays a decoy here. They play with the megapixels as a marketing strategy. Usually people have in their minds that more megapixels means better camera. Actually after a limit it does not affects the quality until and unless other features are not enhanced. Quality of an image depends upon the lens and size of sensor. Larger the size, more light will be captured, which in turn will enhance quality. Megapixels only represents area i.e. a 2D matrix of pixels. If you have high pixel count but information in each pixel of absurd quality then what is the use of it. You can check that DSLRs have megapixel count on an average 12-16 but they capture best images in the world. So smartphone companies play with megapixels. Choose that smartphone which has better image quality rather than better megapixel count.
Operating System:
Android , iOS and Windows Phone 8 all are good but in different perspective. The difference lies in price, number of applications available, smoothness and finally your personal point of view. Choose that one which you personally like. There is always a paradox of choice. When we buy anything, we don't see its good features but rather miss the other's features.
Other features:
Don;t forget to check other fesatures like Sensors (eg. Accelerometer, proximity sensor etc), Internal memory, additional card slot, accessibility features etc.
