Your Guide To Choose The Best Smartphone

Smartphone has become an integral part of our lives. Technology has revolutionised the mobile manufacturing space. Most people now have a smartphone and the number is increasing day by day. Similarly, the choices have become quite wide.

Choosing a mobile device has become confusing, but don't worry, just keep these essential factors in mind and you will get the best device for yourself or your loved ones.

Processor and RAM

You need a powerful brain, CPU, and higher memory, RAM, to get seamless performance. The next-gen devices come with Al capabilities that make your mobile device a smarter phone. The choices are overwhelming such as Apple A14 Bionic, Qualcomm Snapdragon 888, MediaTek Helio G96 MT6781, Exynos 2100, and Kirin 9000.

It's always a wise choice to get the latest CPU along with higher RAM capacity. 2 GB RAM isn't enough nowadays, recommended would be 6 to 8 GB of RAM. For budget devices, one can consider 3 or 4 GB RAM as well. Whopping 12-16 GB of RAM, isn't necessarily required unless you are a heavy gamer and plan on switching between 10-20 apps simultaneously.

Display

The screen sizes seem to be ever increasing and are continually pushing the boundary. They've reached up to 6.9-inches, however, anything above 5.7 inches would be a good choice. Now display types, you have options like LCD, AMOLED, OLED, Super AMOLED, and Retina (Apple devices) displays.

The best would be OLED as they assist you in battery saving and produces true black. Now, higher resolutions should be your preference such as Full HD, Full HD+ Quad HD for crisper images.
