Whether you are a first-time smartphone buyer or looking to upgrade your existing mobile, there are some golden rules you must follow to ensure you get the device that matches your needs.

With 5G phones being used for anything and everything these days, it makes sense to pay attention to detail when investing in one. 

Don’t forget to shop on the Bajaj Finserv EMI Store for the best offers on the top 10 mobiles.

Now, we will provide you with a checklist of what to look for when purchasing a new smartphone.

Battery

  • If you multitask or are big on gaming or watch a lot of videos, then you will surely need a chunky battery that lasts all day
  • Intensive online usage also results in faster battery drain 
  • You should ideally look for a battery of at least 5,000 mAh

Storage

  • Also known as ROM (read only memory)
  • Music, movies, photos, videos, games, apps – they all occupy storage space on your handset
  • Go for a device with at least 64 GB of internal storage
  • Some new 5G phones offer up to 256 GB of internal storage these days
  • Extendable storage options are also available via micro-SD memory cards

RAM

Camera 

  • Stiff competition between brands to offer the best cameras
  • More megapixels alone don’t produce better pictures
  • Good photos also depend on ISO level, aperture and autofocus capability
  • If you like taking pictures, go for a camera with a resolution of at least 12 MP or 16 MP with an aperture of f/2.0 or lower.
  • Look for features like night mode, image stabilization, innovative filters, and effects

Processor 

  • The processor space is infested with jargon like Quadcore, Octa-Core, Snapdragon and MediaTek
  • Here is a simple rule of thumb:  the higher the processor speed (in GHz) the faster your 5G phone is
  • Choose a faster processor If you plan to do a lot of photo/video editing or play online games 

Operating system

  • There are two operating systems to choose from – Android and iOS
  • All Apple iPhones run on iOS
  • All other smartphones run on Android and its variants
  • Watch out for bloatware on Android phones as this can really slow down the device
  • Test-use the phone for a little time to check out the OS features

Affordability and cost

  • Not all 5G phones are exorbitantly priced
  • Many top 10 mobiles by big brands are budget offerings
  • If you think a phone is too expensive, look for a different brand with the same specifications
  • Older models are cheaper and are at times just as functional as newer models
