Either its an Android or iOS gadget you are about to get? Here’s your last bus stop because i believe my advice will help you get the right dream phone of yours, so read carefully until the conclusion, so as to get and understand my primary point here. Now let’s go on.
Step 1 – Choosing the right smartphone
Prioritizing your budget over all other factors should be your first consideration when choosing a phone. Yes, you need have a set budget. If you already have one for prices, the requirements should be checked a second time.
Selecting the appropriate smartphone is just one aspect of the process; another is selecting a phone with the appropriate features. I take it that you’re not too familiar with phones? Particularly among women, 70% of them lack the literacy to properly examine their smartphones.
Thats why I always advise you to go along with your brother or a friend who knows about phones very well than you, to avoid being cheated.
Being cheated? Are you really surprised by that statement? Yes it happens and as a matter of fact, my sister has encountered such. She wanted to surprise mom with a birthday gift (brand new phone) so she didn’t want anyone to know, she went all by herself to get a new phone via offline stores.
First, if you’re going for a second used phones, you should watch out for brand clones. By brand clones, I mean brand impersonators, it’s actually easy to detect clone devices, that is if you weren’t curious or carried away by the cheap prices.
How to know cloned phones?
For instance, a phone listing for sale might have the brand TECNO printed on it, the battery marked Itel, and when you turn it on, there might be a logo labeled ‘ANDROID’ or something else that denotes a different brand from what’s written on the device. That is undoubtedly a clone.
Second, phony storage sizes are always included. It might be challenging to determine the true storage capacities of cloned phones because the artificial intelligence (AI) powering these gadgets is becoming more sophisticated, so you’ll also need to outwit them. Nobody enjoys being cheated on.
Let’s say, this particular cloned device claims to have 32GB & 4GB RAM storage, even when you access the settings>>storage, the informations will still be correct, but does that really mean it has up to this storage? NO! I’ll expose the secret on how to find out the exact storage size of these cloned devices.
How to know the exact storage size of a cloned device?
Using XENDER is the only and fastest technique to find out the precise storage capacity. You do realize about the app xender? The widely used sharing app that we practically use every day!
Yes, you can determine the precise storage capacity using XENDER. How? Just install the XENDER program. Once xender has been downloaded and installed, launch the application, swipe to the storage, and the precise storage capacity will be shown on the screen.
In my sister’s situation, she was tricked not just by the low costs but also by the fictitious storage capacity. She truly believed it to be 32GB of RAM, however after installing Xender and doing a check, I discovered that it is just 1GB of RAM with a 532 RAM size.
So, always be watchful of the phone you’re buying, regardless of how cheap the prices may be. Better still, to avoid stories that touches the heart, if you want to get a TECNO or INFINIX phone, simply go to the brands nearby store.
Now I believe with the tips I shared above, you’re now one step away from falling for cloned devices. Now let’s continue with the main topic here.
Tips on how to choose the right phone 2021
Choosing the right smartphone is more like choosing the right phone that will suite your needs, choosing a phone will last longer and function perfectly. So if you wish to get & enjoy that dream phone of yours, you must then go for a smartphone with good specs.
Before buying a smartphone, what do you need to check? You need to check the specifications, such as the;Â battery mah, storage, screen size etc. Lets break it down for a better understanding.
Battery mAh
This has to do with the battery capacity, and it matters alot to those of us who reside in rural areas where there’s no steady light.
Choosing a smartphone with a bigger mAh means choosing a long lasting battery smartphone, a phone that can keep you active up to 12hours in just a single charge. So, if you wish for a long lasting phone, you should consider going for smartphones with at least 4000 – 5000 battery mAh.
Storage
Now this totally depends on you. If you’re a lover of applications, then you should go for a smartphone with up to at least 2GB RAM. If you install loads of applications on a 1GB RAM device, its obviously gonna start slowing down.
Hey! But if you’re only getting a smartphone to stay active, make use of social medias and make calls, then a 1GB RAM device wouldn’t be a bad choice anyways.
Screen size
Your preference for screen size is also personal; obviously, larger smartphones make it more comfortable to play video games and watch full HD movies.
In any case, you might not care whether your smartphone has a larger screen if you don’t want to use it for gaming or watching content. If not, be sure to purchase phones with screens that are at least 5.5 inches or larger.
And that’s it! I think these tips taught you a lot. Please feel free to ask more questions in the comments section below. I’ll also take care of them.
