What to consider before buying a mobile phone?

There are many things to know before buying a mobile phone. Because if these things are not known, it will not be possible to buy the right mobile phone. Below is a detailed discussion about what you need to know before buying a mobile phone:

1. Pattern of usage: Before buying a mobile phone you should know about the pattern of usage. Whether buying a button phone or a touchscreen phone, first consider where and how it will be used. Button mobiles will suffice if you want to use them only for talking purposes. Button phones are great as a 2nd phone. Many seniors in Bangladesh prefer button phones for their low cost and ease of use. As some buttons are very small in phone size, they are known as mini phones in Bangladesh. But if you want to do other things like internet browsing, facebook, youtube, instagram and various social media then touchscreen phone is best because it is powered by powerful operating system like android, ios, tizen. Although many button phones are available in Bangladesh today which have these facilities, touchscreen phones have special advantages in terms of usage. So first you have to consider what the mobile phone will be used for.

2. Speaker: Before buying the mobile, you must check the quality of the speaker. Because if the speaker is not good then speech or any audio cannot be heard clearly. Especially in the cities of Bangladesh the noise level is high so louder speakers work better.

3. Battery: Whether it is a button mobile or a smartphone, the most important thing in any mobile is the battery. All the performance of the mobile depends on how the battery backup of a mobile is. Smartphones have a lot of battery backup, but the current button mobiles are not behind in any part. 5200 milliampere button mobiles and smartphones are available in Bangladesh market. So whatever mobile is bought, you have to check the battery milliampere.

4. Charge Time: With the advancement of smartphones, their use has also increased so it has become a part of daily life. So frequent charging is required. It takes 2/3 hours to charge but many modern mobiles use fast charging technology. As a result, it can fully charge in a very short time. And as it saves time, it also has many benefits. So before buying a mobile it is better to see if it supports fast charge. But this feature is usually available in slightly better priced mobiles.

5. Network: Bangladesh currently has 3G, 4G and 5G networks. Try to buy the maximum as per your budget. And note that the higher version will support the lower version, which means you can run 4G and 3G if you accept 5G.

6. Dual SIM: Most of the new mobile phones available in Bangladesh are dual SIM. However, some sets may be of one SIM. Used mobiles which are usually imported and sold from abroad are single sim.

7. Display size: If you use the internet a lot, you should get a large screen mobile such as at least 5-6 inches. iPhones and some older mobile phones have very small screens. But they are quite portable. The price of smartphone varies depending on the display size. Generally in Bangladesh the price of mobile with 6 inch or more size display is more than 10,000 rupees.

8. Resolution: Most of today's mobiles have HD screens. But Full HD will give you better quality.

9. Protection: No need for a separate screen protector if you have Gorilla or other protective glass.

10. Screen density: This is a matter that many people don't give importance to but it can determine the quality of the screen. Try to get at least 260 PPI. And if 400 ppi you can see a very good quality image.

11. RAM: 2 GB is enough to run common applications. But 3 GB is better. And to play modern games on mobile, you need to have 4 GB.

12. Storage: Minimum 16 GB will work. And check if there are additional slots. If not, it is better to take more than 16 GB. Older model mobiles usually have less storage but have card slots.

13. Processor: Dual core can be a bit slow but it will work if the budget is low. And it will work well if it is a quad core CPU. The new model mobile has Octacore CPU. Basically for gaming you should buy a mobile with a good processor. And, mobiles with powerful gaming processors cost more than Tk 20,000 in Bangladesh.

14. Camera: Buy by camera lens quality not by megapixels. Shoot at night or in low light to learn about the camera's low-light performance.

15. Sensors: Digital compass, gyroscope, SPO2 or pulse oximeter, activity tracker will give you many benefits.

16. Flash Light: Flashlight is very important thing. You should buy a mobile phone with a good flashlight because the light of the flashlight can be easily found in a dark place. A flashlight comes in handy when traveling or when there is a power outage.
