Buying a Mobile Phone – Quick Tips

Operating System

Android gives you more choice, while iOS is easier to use. If you're torn between iOS and Android, opt for an iPhone if you want something that's easy to use and gets both the hottest apps first and the timeliest software updates. Android is the better option if you want more hardware choices and more affordable options.

Budget

Don't pay more than you need to for a phone. While the iPhone XS, Galaxy S9 and premium Android phones are expensive, there are much cheaper unlocked-phone options out there.

Screen Size

Get the right size screen. Buy a phone with a screen smaller than 5.5 inches if one-hand use is important to you or if you have smaller hands. If you’re going to be watching a lot of video content or playing games, get a bigger-screen phone. You’ll also need a bigger screen of you’re looking to take advantage of the multiwindow mode in Android.

Screen Spec

For a phone's display, colour quality and brightness matter more than resolution. A 4K screen on a phone is nice to have but probably overkill at present. Pay more attention to how bright the display is, so it will be easy to see outdoors, and how colourful the panel is (AMOLED panels are better than LCD in this regard). The very latest phones offer high dynamic range (HDR) for displaying even more colours.

Battery Life

Along with battery life, the camera has become the most important smartphone feature. Pay attention to specs such as aperture (lower numbers are better) and special features such as dual lenses and optical image stabilization. Ignore the megapixels.

Processor

The processor matters less than it used to. Even midrange phones now offer good-enough performance for most users. However, if you want the most power for games and augmented reality, buy a phone with the latest and fastest processor.

Battery

Don't settle for a smartphone that lasts less than 10 hours on a charge. Even budget phones now boast long-lasting batteries.

Storage

Get at least 32GB of storage. Phones with 16GB should no longer be considered good value, even if they're budget models. Opt for 32GB if you can to store more games, photos and video. 64GB is the new standard for flagship phones. A microSD card slot is nice to have for expanding storage, but it's only available on certain Android phones.
