MOBILE/ SMART PHONES SHOPPING GUIDE

Before the intervention of  O.B.J into our telecommunication industry,

I could remember that when you hear the word "Telephone", what comes

to mind is either a white or black colored  not really flat panel

box with buttons ranging from 1 to 9 and the famous signs which were the

* and # sign embedded on it and a curled lengthy wire at the tail

which as a kid i couldn’t stop playing with.  But this same above explained

telephone also known as the intercom telephone is what we see in most

 organizations, hotels and even filling stations in Nigeria today.

I never thought of seeing a wireless phone to make calls, to send a message, to

watch short and long video clips or listen to music, play games, pay bills,

and book for flights on the go, your Bible and Quran for quick studying, and

so much more.  In today’s world, we've got Mobile/Smart phones, Notes and

tablets to carry out what you never expected 20 years ago.

Getting one of these gadgets is very necessary but you've got to take some

things into consideration in order for you to make the right choice of mobile/

smart phone that best fits your needs.

1. WHAT YOU WANT TO USE IT FOR?

Just to make calls and send text messages?  Or for taking pictures? Or for

Surfing the web disturbing social medias? 

You've got focus on what u want to use it for to save yourself the cash of

 getting a phone with features you never have time for or getting "chinko"

with hopes of Instagraming.

2. THE BATTERY LIFE.

Unlike the Nokia 3310 which can last up to 5 days if charged full,  today's

smart phones are built with wider screens, and processors such as the

dual core and quad core processors making these smart phones energy

hungry.

 

So its better you remember that the wider and brighter the display, the more

your gadget craves for more power and also, checking the battery's capacity

would be of great help.

3.  STORAGE.

This is another factor to consider while making the choice of mobile phone

u want to opt for.  You take pictures a lot or you a music freak like i am or you

can’t do without having at least 3 different 3D games on your smart phone,

then paddy you need to go for a phone with not just a large memory like the

 iPhone but smart phone with an expandable memory.

4. CAMERA.

For all the Instagram, Tweet pic, Pinterest and selfie fans in general this is for

you.

 

If u are so addicted to the above social media and the selfie habit, then you

should look out for specs such as the quality of the lens and also the camera

sensor.

I know you would thinking that the more higher the megapixels, the better

your picture quality (Laughs) but know this, you can get a sharper image quality

from a 5 megapixel camera than from an 8 megapixel camera due to the lens

quality.

5. SIZE.

There different sizes of mobile/smart phones today.  I’m sure you don’t want to

get a phone which you won’t be flexible with all because you were carried

away by its beauty and enticing wide screen. so here are some tips on screen

sizes.

4.5 inches below are normal pocket size phones such as d regular iPhone 4

4.5 inches - 5.1 inches are not really pocket friendly e.g. Htc One and Samsung

Galaxy S5.

5.1 inches above are also known as phablets, Pads and Notes. they include

The iPad, Samsung Galaxy Note, Samsung Galaxy Tab and so on.

Make a wise choice pals…..
