Seeking a Smartphone?
Here are 10 Things to Look For.
Written by Consumer Cellular
(BPT) - There are many choices when shopping for a smartphone these days, and the differences can be very subtle. Here are some of the key things you'll want to look at to make sure you find the one that works best for your needs.
Operating System (OS): There are two different operating systems to choose from. iOS works with iPhones, while Android operates with a wider variety of smartphones, like those from Samsung or Motorola. In general, iOS is considered easier to use, but you need to have an Apple device. Android gives you more options, plus the ability to customize with third-party software and widgets.
Screen size: Get the right screen for the things you'll want to do. Buy a phone with a screen smaller than 5.5 inches if one-hand use is important to you or if you have smaller hands. Get a bigger screen if you like to watch a lot of videos or play games, or simply want to have an easier time navigating on your touchscreen.
Camera: Most people now use their phones as their primary camera, so the right selection here will be especially important. More and more smartphones boast cameras with at least 12 mega-pixels, so don't go by only that stat. Instead, focus on individual camera specs and features like dual lenses or the ability to edit and enhance photos.
Display: For a phone's display, color quality and brightness matter more than resolution. Pay attention to how bright the display is, if it will be easy to see outdoors, and how colorful the panel is. The latest phones offer high dynamic range (HDR) for displaying even more colors.
