Nowadays, it would not be wrong to say that we can't live without smartphones. Actually, we use them for browsing the web, saving our data on the cloud servers, taking pictures and communicating with our loved ones. Since the market is teaming with a huge variety of cell phones, it's harder to choose the right one. Given below are a few things that may help you to opt for the best phone to suit your needs.

Build quality

The durability of s phone depends upon its build quality. Today, the whole smartphone market offers two kinds of builds: plastic and metal. You can also find some brands that feature glass-coated panels. They are limited, though. If you drop your phone often, we suggest that you opt for a plastic or metal based handset.

Display

Based on the way you use your smartphone, you should choose the right size and display resolution. For instance, if you spend most your time streaming videos or downloading movies, we suggest that you choose a phone with a display between 5.5 inches and 6 inches. The resolution should be QHD or full-HD. Please note that the phones with screens bigger than 6 inches are bulky.

Processor

Each device has its own processing power based on a lot of factors like bloatware, UI, and OS version, to name a few. For heavy users who need to edit documents, images and videos, a smartphone with Snapdragon 820/821 or 652 may be a great choice.

Camera

Generally, people think that a smartphone featuring a higher MP camera is a good one for taking photos. Actually, the quality of pictures is not based on the MP of a camera. It depends upon a lot of other factors like autofocus, pixel size, ISO levels, and camera aperture, just to name a few. In other words, a camera with 16MB may not be better than one with a 12MP camera.

Battery

Based on the way you use your phone, the battery will last longer. For instance, if you use your phone to play games or stream HD videos, we suggest that you go for a phone with a minimum of 3500mAh battery or higher. For light users, a phone with a 3000mAh battery can do.

User interface/OS version

When buying a handset, make sure you consider the OS version as well. The UI is part of the OS. Therefore, it's a good idea to choose a device that has an easy to use OS. If you are a basic user, you may opt for a Motorola handset.

Storage

Most of the phone storage is consumed by the OS and the built-in apps. Again, this factor is important for you if you are a heavy user. Most devices of today come with a built-in storage capacity of 16GB, which is enough if you don't need a lot of storage space.

So, these are some essential factors that you may want to take into account when buying a smartphone based on your needs.
