Buying a smartphone is still considered a big deal given that a lot of us rely on our phone for everything and hence spend a substantial part of our income on getting one. Hence it is important that we do thorough homework to ensure we pick the right phone for ourselves. While features like memory can be extended, other aspects like screen size, RAM, and a camera cannot be upgraded in the current phone.
With so many brands and models available across the price range, choosing a phone can be a tedious task. However, here are some useful tips which should enable you to make a good and informed purchase.
1. Define your need and budget
Prior to jumping into your purchase, you need to understand what you will be using your smartphone for in the first place. If it is for casual browsing and limited use, you don’t want to invest in a phone with a feature overload. At the same time, if you are into heavy gaming or multitasking, buying a basic phone will not be able to satisfy your needs and you will have to eventually upgrade to a better phone in a short time. At the Bajaj Finserv EMI Store, you will be able to browse through specifications and features and compare phones within a selected price range while purchasing your favorite smartphone.
2. There is no best display size
Determining an ideal screen size is a subjective matter that depends a lot on a user’s personal taste and requirement. With technology rapidly changing and making way for cutting-edge innovations, it is up to you as a consumer to decipher your distinct usage pattern and zero in upon a screen size that complements your lifestyle. A 6-inch display is perfect for users who like to relish movies or graphic-intensive games however if you are looking for a compact phone which is portable to carry in your pocket then a 5- 5.5 inch display would be ideal.
3. Buy smartphones with sufficient storage
If you are looking for a new mobile phone that has good internal storage within an average price, buying an Oppo mobile will be the best idea. The average user loves to store games, photos, videos, and music on a phone and memory is definitely something that should not be compromised. Moreover, some part of the memory gets consumed with pre-installed apps. The Oppo A31 is a budget smartphone that comes with a mammoth 128 GB internal memory expandable up to 256GB and a powerful 6 GB RAM with a triple rear camera.
4. Always look for a large battery phone that fits your daily requirements
There are a lot of features that drain up battery life. Streaming from YouTube, for instance, takes up a lot more battery than simple browsing. So does the poor network. If you are planning to buy a smartphone, consider one with a large battery and fast charging features especially if your lifestyle is one that’s always on the go.
And if you are looking for an affordable 5G phone, the Oppo A74 5G comes with a 5000 maH mega battery that keeps your phone going longer without constant recharging, powering 13 hours of video viewing, 27 hours of call time, and 40 hours standby. With Super Power Saving Mode, 5% battery can power 1.1 hours of Whatsapp chatting. And with Super Night-time Standby, only 2% of battery power is used up as you sleep.
5. Pay attention to the camera
The camera is an important smartphone feature most users don’t overlook. Because a good quality phone camera can be a real boon for capturing moments and sealing them permanently as memories. Multi-cameras are the norm today and phones with just one rear camera are extremely rare now.
The Oppo F15 is a phone in the under 20 K segment aggressively competing with Xiaomi and Samsung and comes with a slew of interesting features including AI Quad Camera which features a 48MP sensor that uses 4-in-1 pixel combination technology to deliver sharp images with more detail, especially in low light conditions and front camera of 16 MP with portrait mode.
6. Don’t ignore the smartphone processor and RAM
While it is natural to get swayed by the screen and camera, the processor is the component that is responsible for the performance of your smartphone. A capable processor not only allows your device to function seamlessly but is also capable of enhancing other factors like image processing. RAM is another critical parameter that impacts your multi-tasking experience and while a 4 GB RAM is sufficient for light users, today 6 or 8 GB RAM sizes are the sweet spots for an optimal multi-tasking experience.
The Oppo Find X2 5G launched in 2020 combines the powerful Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 processor with 12 GB RAM and also sports the 5x Hybrid Zoom, 20x Digital Zoom in the Ultra vision triple camera- a perfect way to indulge yourself!
With some pro-tips discussed, buying a new phone should not be a tedious task anymore.
