How To Use A Smartphone Buying Guide

By Cecilie Blaber


Choosing a smartphone is not that easy unless you are fine with wasting money. Whether you are a businessman, a professional or just a student, it is important to determine what you are looking for depending on your needs and budget. It gets tougher with the dozens of smartphones available and you'd easily feel overwhelmed but, getting the right one that's going to fit to your needs will keep your money worth it. Multiple operating systems, different carriers that could offer high-speed 4g networks and a wide range of screen resolutions and designs, there could never be another good time to upgrade your smartphone or buy your first one.

Choose the Operating System that's best for you. Buying a Smartphone is actually harder than buying laptop. Unlike computers, you can change the OS if you don't like what you have. Some renowned operating systems are Apple's iOS, Android, Blackberry OS and Windows Phone 7. They are in different platforms which make them good at different things. Here's an overview of these operating systems.

The Pros and Cons of the Android IOS

Apple's easy-to-use interface, most apps and highest-quality apps and unique hardware and software integration makes this platform hard to beat. It also has iTunes which makes it easy to buy music, movies, books and apps, and Siri voice companion.

Drawbacks are limited multitasking ability and no support for haptic feedback. Social networking services may not be as tight as Android or Windows Phone.

The Advantages and Disadvantages of The Android

This is the most popular open-source OS by Google that is in a great variety of devices. It is able to get and choose from hundreds of thousands of apps from different app stores (many of them are free). Android got the features 4G LTE, high-speed cameras and HD screens, first and it integrates with social networks for sharing content and contacts. Easy task-switching and home screens can be customized and cool widgets are available too.

However, Android is the most vulnerable to malware since it can get apps from any app stores. It occasionally slows down on some phones and sometimes crashes. iTunes has been better than Google Play store for buying media and updates of this operating system aren't guaranteed.

Blackberry OS

The Blackberry operating system is a great system for people that are interested in keeping their phones secured. A lot of the phones offer the traditional keyboards, so individuals that are not comfortable with touch screens appreciate this feature that these phones offer.

However, even though the Blackberry operating system is great in terms of security, the hardware on these phones is outdated. The screens normally have low resolution and the CPUs are slow as well. Only a few apps are offered on the operating systems.

Windows Phone

A lot of new smartphone users are tempted to try out this operating system, because it is something they are used to seeing on their computers. The operating system allows users to pin things to their start screens, allowing them to easily access any information that they need to get to expediently. A lot of the same services seen with Microsoft such as their Office and Xbox features are highly integrated onto phones with this type of operating system.

The only bad things about this type of operating system is there are not a lot of applications to choose from, and the phones are way behind when it comes to their specs.

It is important to remember that technology is constantly changing. The most expensive phone that you purchase today could be offered on a special $99 offer tomorrow. If you wait a little bit of time and allow your money to build up, you can end up with the phone of your dreams. It is important to not compromise on quality when choosing a phone. Always use a smartphone buying guide to help you determine what phone is going to accommodate your needs.
