There are handful of choices available\\r\\nfor you in operating systems section of phone. Below is the brief introduction of the popular\\r\\noperating systems so you can choose according to your desire.

Performance:<\\\/h2>Performance is another\\r\\nimportant aspect of smartphone. While measuring performance of a smartphone,\\r\\nyou will have to pay attention to processor, ram, GPU, chipset of the phone.\\r\\nBelow is the brief but descriptive introduction of the terms used above.

<\\\/span>Processor:<\\\/b>
A processor is responsible\\r\\nfor the execution of instructions which means it controls of execution of the\\r\\ndifferent tasks of the smartphone. The higher the processor is, the faster the\\r\\nsmartphone will be. Processor is measured in terms of hertz (Hz). Modern\\r\\nprocessors often run so fast that gigahertz (GHz)<\\\/b> is used instead.\\r\\nOne gigahertz is one billion cycles per second. Also there are\\r\\ndifferent categories in processors according to their processing speed. Which\\r\\nare
<\\\/span>
  1. Single Core<\\\/li>
  2. Dual Core<\\\/li>
  3. Quad Core<\\\/li>
  4. Octa Core
    <\\\/li><\\\/ol>Above arrangement is as to their speeds. Which\\r\\nmeans the last in the list is the most powerful processor yet. An Octa-Core\\r\\nprocessor will be faster than quad core processor.

    <\\\/span>GPU:
    <\\\/b>GPU stands for Graphics Processing Unit. <\\\/b>It <\\\/span>is a co-processor exists in smartphone,\\r\\nwhich performs graphical calculations and transformations so that the main CPU\\r\\ndoes not have to execute graphical work. The introduction of GPU in smartphone\\r\\nhave greatly increased the performance of a device, especially when used for\\r\\ntasks such as 3D gaming where lot of graphics are involved. GPU is very\\r\\nimportant for better gaming experience. Different GPU like Qualcomm Adreno, ARM\\r\\nMali----, NVIDIA Tegra and lots of other are available in smartphones.
    <\\\/span>
    RAM:<\\\/b>\\r\\n\\r\\n
    RAM\\r\\nis another important factor involved in smartphone performance. All the tasks\\r\\nof smartphone are performed by it. Obviously Bigger the RAM is the faster the\\r\\nsmartphone will be. The measurement unit of RAM is in kilobytes\\r\\n(KB) or megabytes (MB). Different mobile manufacturers are offering ram in\\r\\ndifferent sizes starting from 256MB to 4GB (there are also rumors of 6GB or 8GB\\r\\nram in the smartphone). For better performance you should select a smartphone\\r\\nwith bigger ram.\\r\\n

    Chipset:
    <\\\/b>Chipset\\r\\nis like motherboard in Computers, as CPU is soldered on the Chipset inside a\\r\\nmobile device which tends to improve the performance, and saves lot of space.\\r\\nFor better performance a good chipset is also necessary. Popular chipsets are Snapdragon<\\\/b> by Qualcomm, Tegra <\\\/b>by nVidia, Intel Atom, Mediatek<\\\/b>.
    <\\\/span>A\\r\\nsmartphone with 2GB of RAM and Quad Core Processor will be faster than a\\r\\nsmartphone consisting 1GB of RAM and Dual Core Processor. Also if you are\\r\\nwilling to buy a smartphone for gaming purposes than pay special attention to\\r\\nperformance section because gaming performance is mostly delivered by CPU, GPU\\r\\nand RAM.\\r\\n\\r\\n

    Internal Storage:
    <\\\/b>Although storage capacity\\r\\nis not much involved in performance but it is an essential part of smartphone.\\r\\nThe smartphone with more internal storage capacity means that you can save ample\\r\\namount of data (movies, games and apps etc.). You should also consider the\\r\\nexternal storage provided by the smartphone.

    Display:<\\\/h2>Display\\r\\nis another important aspect of smartphone which should be considered before\\r\\nbuying a smartphone. A mobile with good display screen also conveys good\\r\\nimpression about your personality. Below are the things which you should\\r\\nconsider in order to choose display screen.

    Screen Size:
    <\\\/b>While\\r\\nselecting screen size you should consider a screen size which is comfortable\\r\\nand also fulfilling you other needs. There are plenty of screen sizes available\\r\\nin the market starting from low screen size 2.8 inches to extra-large screen\\r\\nsize 6.8 inches. In our opinion screen size from 4.5 inches to 5.2 (sometimes\\r\\n5.5 inches) is comfortable to use with one hand. Also you should consider\\r\\nanother important point which is Screen\\r\\nto Body Ratio<\\\/b> listed aside of the screen size in the specifications. The\\r\\nDisplay Screen to body ratio means how much of the surface the screen\\r\\nrepresents when compared to the whole device. For example, a smartphone with a\\r\\nratio of 100% means only screen will be visible from front as it will cover the\\r\\nwhole surface of the body. Try to select a smartphone with larger screen to\\r\\nbody ratio. Smartphone having large display screen allow a better experience\\r\\nwhile watching movies, playing games and browsing. But on the other side the\\r\\nbig-screen phones are heavy, and can be uncomfortable to carry in your pocket.
    <\\\/span>
    Screen Resolution:
    <\\\/b>Screen Resolution means the\\r\\nnumber of horizontal and vertical pixels on a display screen. You should\\r\\nselect a smartphone with higher resolution which depicts the graphics brighter\\r\\nand sharper. There are plenty of resolutions available like 720p, 1080p, 1440p <\\\/b>and many more.\\r\\nAnother thing is PPI (Pixels per Inch) which shows that how many pixels are\\r\\ncombined to form one inch of the screen. More PPI means the graphics of the\\r\\ndisplay screen are livelier and brighter. Our Opinion is to go for higher\\r\\nresolution and more PPI while picking the display section of the smartphone.

    Camera:<\\\/h2>For some people the camera matters more\\r\\nthan any other component of the smartphone, especially since most people use\\r\\ntheir smartphones as their primary shooters. The craze of selfies and snapshots\\r\\nhave urged the mobile manufacturers to boost the camera technology. While\\r\\njudging the quality of camera, don't go by numbers alone that this phone has\\r\\n12MP camera, so it will give awesome snapshots etc. Instead, pay attention to\\r\\nimage quality, aperture, pixel size and features.\\r\\n\\r\\nAs far as camera features,\\r\\nlook for Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) to reduce blur and improve low-light performance.\\r\\nOther features are Auto HDR, Auto Focus, Panorama etc. Another way of checking\\r\\nquality of a smartphone is you can view online sample images of that particular\\r\\ncamera. In our opinion, Good snapshots are a result of sufficient megapixels,\\r\\ngood lens and sensor technology of the camera.

    Battery:<\\\/h2>Battery\\r\\nis another important aspect upon which you should pay special attention.\\r\\nBattery is the power house of the smartphone. You may have chosen the best\\r\\nhardware, but if you keep running out of battery, your handset is quite\\r\\nuseless. The capacity of the battery is measured in terms of mAh. You should\\r\\nselect a smartphone with higher battery capacity. Many factors including the\\r\\nscreen size, processor, operating system and overall usage determine how long a\\r\\nsmartphone lasts on a charge. A 2500 mAh battery is usually good enough for\\r\\nsmartphone having 5.0 inches display screen.\\r\\n\\r\\nTry to select those\\r\\nsmartphones which come with lithium-Polymer batteries over lithium-ion\\r\\nbatteries. Because the former are lighter, and also retain their charge for\\r\\nlonger than the other. Also look for removable batteries as they are easier to\\r\\nreplace than the non-removable battery.

    Our ADVICE:<\\\/h2>To\\r\\nconclude the smartphone selection guide, we have a valuable advice which you\\r\\ncan consider during the selection process. Reputable smartphone brands tend to\\r\\nhave better market value. Which means if you are not satisfied with smartphone\\r\\nquality, you can sale it by only suffering a little loss of money. Also Reliable\\r\\nsmartphone brands tend to have better after sales service. But if you're opting\\r\\nfor a smartphone from a lesser-known smartphone brand, it is always good to\\r\\ncheck for its service centers in your country \\\/ city. A search of the internet\\r\\nabout a company's track record should give you a fair idea if this particular\\r\\norganization have the capability to meet its warranty commitments.\"]","image_paths":"[\"smartphone-buying-guide-p1-2-10.png\",\"smartphone-buying-guide-p2-2-10.png\",\"smartphone-buying-guide-p3-2-10.jpg\",\"smartphone-buying-guide-p4-2-10.jpg\",\"smartphone-buying-guide-p5-2-10.jpg\",\"images\\\/no-image.png\"]","excerpt":"
