CAMERA
The camera is one of the main specs of a smartphone that mostly people want especially those who love to take picture. Mostly mobile photographers or people who love to take pictures of everything and post it on their social media account. Blogger also choose to buy a phone with a good camera for their blog like travel blogger who travel all over the place just to capture the beauty of a place and share it to their followers. Low-budget phone with low specs don't usually have great cameras, so consider spending a bit more if this is important to you. But if you want to have a phone with a good camera, you should consider buying a mid-range or high-end smartphone.
It is important to check the camera features of the phone you want.
1. Megapixel(MP) refers to the pixel count. The more pixels your camera has, the more detailed is the image, and the larger is the resolution.
2. Sensor–If the sensor performs a good job capturing an image, then you’ll get the beautiful image that you want.
3. Aperture(f-value) – refers to the opening in the camera lens that controls the amount of light that travels through.
4. Zoom– there are two types of zoom in a smartphone camera: digital and optical. The zoom feature is used when you are capturing photos from afar.
Digital zoom is a software process that simply crops an area of an image and enlarging it sometimes resulting in a pixelated image. Optical zoom refers to the actual optic lens (hardware) of the camera zooming in to get a closer look at the subject.
Thus, optical lens results to a better-zoomed image. The optical lens is preferable than the digital lens to choose the best camera smartphone.
5. Lens– carries mostly the aperture and zoom feature.
BATTERY
It is important to know the battery capacity of your chosen smartphone. You need to know the battery capacity for you to know how your phone will last longer, the bigger mah batteries will last longer than. The term mAh is an abbreviation for “milliampere hour,” and it’s a way to express the electrical capacity of smaller batteries. You can also choose the smartphone that can charge fast.
STORAGE
Another important to know when choosing your desire smartphone is to know the storage capacity of the device. Storage is where you keep your downloaded videos, music, important files and favorite pictures, apps and games. There are two types of storage, internal and external.
Internal storage is the primary storage for applications and files. This is where your OS (operating system) for your smartphone is stored.
External storage is what you inserted to your phone to add extra space or so called SD card. You can also transfer some apps data, music, videos and pictures to the external.
RAM and PROCESSOR
If you want your smartphone to have a good performance, you need to have good ram and processor.
RAM (random access memory) referred to as memory, but not to be confused with storage. This is where bits of data are stored as they wait in line to be processed by your CPU. When you run an app or game on your phone, it’s loaded into RAM. As long as an app is still in RAM, you can jump back into it where you left off. This is why RAM is important for multitasking while the Processor is the brain of the smartphone. The most fundamental measurement of a processor's quickness is its clock speed, which is usually represented as a gigahertz value. You need to know what the speed of the phone to want to buy for you to know if your desire smartphone is good for multi-tasking and even gaming. The dual-core processor is good, but having a quad-core processor can give you smooth performance for your phone. Having more RAM and fast PROCESSOR can give you better performance and do a lot of tasks in your phone.
The other things you need to know before buying smartphone is durability. Many smartphones nowadays are scratch resistance and water resistance. Also having AMOLED display gives you better screen resolution. This feature is already on the new smartphones released in the store.
