Phones & Wearables(101)

For a lot of us, a Smartphone is our communication device, our audio-video player, our navigation tool, and our web browser, among others. And not-so-surprisingly, there's very little that your Smartphone cannot do. It has tread beyond its conventional use, with even the entry-level models today capable of performing several tasks at once. It has also gone from being a chunky, tough-buttoned device to a sleek, user-friendly, feather-touch Smartphones today. However, despite the advancement and innovation, you can still opt for either a Smartphone or a Feature Phone, based on your needs.

For the health-conscious, a Smartphone coupled with a Wearable Device is an excellent way to keep a tab on your well-being. In fact, you now have the choice of integrating your Smartwatch with your phone to record your fitness metrics or setting it up as a second screen to browse through your text messages or to receive calls. With technology pacing forward, it can become challenging to keep up with the various features it brings to our table. But if you're unsure where to begin your research, it is best to start with what matters the most for your usage.

With various well-known brands launching their flagship models around the year, it can get overwhelming to figure out which one suits your requirements. And, to add to it, they're always a lot cooler than their predecessors! But OS, storage and technology aside, how does one go about choosing a Smartphone based on its features anyway?

The Camera is a crucial deciding factor when looking for a Smartphone. A lot of our routine work relies on a Camera, and if you're someone who deals with a packed calendar, you're already aware of the importance of having a suitable one.

Considering your RAM usage is also essential when choosing a Smartphone, as running lots of heavy-duty apps require a larger RAM to function smoothly.

And, of course, screen size and type also play a role while selecting the best phone for you. If you're often typing long emails or binge-watching your favourite shows on your Smartphone, a bigger screen size is a beneficial addition.

Lastly, the right accessories can make or break your Smartphone experience. Whether it is a Phone Tripod, Pop Socket or a Karaoke mic, accessories can help optimise your phone's usage.
