Before choosing any smartphone you should get your priorities straight first. A smartphone is basically a computer you carry around in your pocket that allows you to perform various tasks. 

Important features to consider before choosing your next smart phone;

1. Check the phone version.

In this case, the phone version is very important. This is true if you want to enjoy better trending features in the tech world. If you want to know the phone version, you need to follow this simple procedure.

a) Go to the Phone app and select Settings.

b) Scroll down the drop-down menu until you see the About Phone option.

c) You can check the version of the phone you are purchasing in the software information.

2. Check the RAM on the phone.

Random access memory (RAM) is where data is stored. This is the capacity required to store the application and data such as the information contained in the application on the phone. The phone may look good, but you’ll notice that it has less RAM. This means that before you download some apps, you need to buy a memory card to support them. The best phones require at least two or three RAMs. Removing it more often will make the application run faster and protect your phone from viruses. You can check the RAM of your phone by following the steps above in step 1.

3. Telephone ROM.

Read-only memory (ROM) is the opposite of RAM. You can delete, edit, and modify the data in RAM, but not in ROM. It’s the storage your phone has and comes with applications that can’t be uninstalled. The more ROM, the more sophisticated the phone. A low ROM on the phone will automatically reduce its value and reduce the performance of the required functionality. Go to the settings above and browse for storage. You can see how much storage space your phone has.

4. Design and Functionality

In selecting a new smartphone, personal taste is a major decision point, both in terms of software and outward appearance. Some people may prefer more rounded lines and a sinuous design, whereas others like a sturdier look, characterized by straight lines and sharp metal edges. But, design is based on functionality. A metal unibody is stylish and trendy, but in some cases prevents you from using some features such as a microSD card or a headphone jack. Before buying, check the quality of the device to ensure you’ll be able to use it in the way which is most comfortable and convenient for you.

5. Battery Life

Battery life is one of the most important features to consider when choosing a new smartphone. A higher number of mAh does not amount to more and more battery life, or to a longer battery life cycle. The factors that come into play are different and it’s worth knowing them.

For example, you should consider that screens with a higher resolution consume more energy, while the latest processors optimize battery life. Then there’s display refresh rates and quick charging technology to think about. Rather than just looking at tech specs, it’s best to check out reviews and benchmark results to know how all these factors perform when combined in a single device. At the moment, 4,000 mAh seems to be the standard.

6. Camera Quality and Creativity

Smartphone manufacturers are starting to pay more attention to camera quality and features lately, and that’s a great thing for users. The number of megapixels, hybrid autofocus, optical stabilization, manual modes, special effects, and special selfie features: smartphones are becoming more and more like a digital camera.

Do not to dwell too much on the numbers showing on the technical sheet. Rather, visit the store, start the camera app and check the brightness of the shots and software features for yourself.

7. Price

Last on our list, but probably the first factor to consider if you have a limited budget, it is definitely the price. What do you want to spend on your next smartphone? Is it worth it to use all your salary or is it perhaps appropriate to limit yourself and choose something cheaper but equally powerful and in step with the times? The choice is yours, but be aware that for any price range there are some devices better than others.
