What not to do while buying a smart phone
Posted on: 22/Aug/2016 9:26:10 AM
With the number and scale of smart phones available in the market, choosing a device has become an uphill task. Before you splurge your hard-earned cash, here are a few mistakes you should avoid.
Avoid buying a phone just because its popular. For instance, a friend bought an iPhone only because his boss has the fancy high-end one. As far as the third-party apps are concerned, all he uses is WhatsApp and Facebook. And now he is struggling transferring music and videos as before and has an only choice to do it via iTunes. So overall, he is stuck with an expensive piece of electronics that does not serve his main purpose. Yet another example of popular opinion leading to disaster was the Samsung Galaxy Grand. The smart phone had a terrible display and very sluggish UI, yet it was the one of the best selling phones of that year. So, next time you want to buy a new smart phone, think of what you want the device for rather than what`s popular in the market.
Buy the latest version of the device. If you are planning to buy the existing model of the iPhone 6 series, hold out until the iPhone 7 is launched. Once the new version is launched, the previous generation iPhones get heavy price cuts. In fact, this month is the right time to pull that trigger if you are opting for an iPhone or a Nexus device since the two will launch in September. All you need to do here is follow the update cycle of the manufacturer or simply follow our online tech news.
Remember, hardware specifications do not speak for performance. The performance of a smart phone depends on the operating system, memory management, and hardware power. However, a phone with quad-core processor and well-optimised operating system may outperform an octa-core handset. So next time you buy a phone, don`t follow the specs sheet blindly. In short, a stock Android smart phone can definitely outperform a smart phone with a custom operating system from the likes of Samsung, Sony or the others. Additional bloatware are also responsible for unwanted memory consumption and overheating.
Most manufacturers stress on only PPI, in which they excel. For instance, the Xiaomi Mi 5 and OnePlus X both have Full HD screens. However, the OnePlus X`s panel looks way better than that of the Mi 5. Reason? Because OnePlus X features an OLED display as compared to the IPS LCD used on Xiaomi`s Mi 5. To save you from hours of research, here`s how the panels rank in terms of quality: 1. OLED, 2. IPS LCD, 3. Conventional LCDs.
