It can be quite difficult to compare smartphones, with most of them coming with a large number of features and each manufacturer claiming its device to be the best in the market. Although it is a tough task to carry out a comprehensive comparison between smartphones, you should put some time and effort into it before deciding on a particular device.
Smartphones are a huge step up from regular mobile phones, combining functions of conventional mobile phones (making calls, texting etc) and computers (sending emails, storing data, editing documents). Those planning to replace their traditional mobile phones with smartphones have a wide range of models to choose from. With so much variety in the market and so much marketing hype, it is easy to feel overwhelmed.
Here are the important factors that you should keep in mind when you compare smartphones:
Does it have a touchscreen?
Touchscreen phones are a significant improvement over the old keypad based phones. With most of these phones, you can get rid of the keypad completely, which means there is more space for the display. However, this special feature will reflect in the prices of these phones. Apple's iPhone has a large global fan following and tops the list of the best touch screen mobile phones available in the market.
Does it have WiFi and Bluetooth?
Even though 3G smartphones have made data transfer much faster, your data usage goes up significantly in 3G phones, and this can turn out be very expensive. That is why it is still a good idea to use Wi-Fi, whenever possible, to access the internet through your phone. Bluetooth, on the other hand, will make it easier to transfer data from your phone to your computer and enable wireless devices like Bluetooth headsets. Most of the latest smartphone models from leading manufacturers like HTC, Apple and Nokia have these features. Of course, these phones are not the cheapest in the market.
Camera quality and video recording
No comparison of smartphones is complete without considering the camera. Before you buy a smartphone, make sure that it has a camera with a good resolution. Video recording is an added advantage, so you should check if the phone you are interested in offers this feature.
Can it support custom apps?
Apps are what make a smartphone really smart. Although you'll read a lot about the technical details of the phones in most reviews, the part about apps doesn't get the attention that it deserves. In this area, iPhone and Android based phones like those from HTC are runaway leaders as they have a large community of developers working on innovative apps that take your smartphone to the next level.
Besides these basic factors, you should also compare aspects like battery life, how the phone looks, and of course, the deals that you getting on the model from operators. All leading UK mobile operators - 3 Mobile, Vodafone, T-Mobile, O2, and Orange - have some cheap plans on smartphones. You can rest assured that there will be a lot of options to choose from.
