Introduction:
Are you thinking about spending Rs.35,000 in a new smartphone? With so many options available in the market, it's essential to consider several factors before making such a significant purchase. This article will delve into seven crucial things to think about before splurging on a new device to ensure you make the right choice.
1)Display and Design:
This should not be a big surprise to anyone that without a question display plays a crucial role in a smartphone. Always keep in Mind to have the latest display with right screen size, better resolution as well as brighter nits. The ideal screen size would be from 6.2 inches to 6.9 inches with LED, Amoled or OLED panel with peak brightness of around 600 nits or more and do not forget to consider the refresh rate by doing that it will help you to load your content or page more efficiently.
2)Storage and Memory:
Opt for a smartphone whose storage is up to date and has good RAM and ROM. The storage are mainly of 2 types eMCC and UFS(Universal flash Storage). Always choose the storage which has UFS, because having UFS storage you will be able to access files and photos more faster moreover if you are transferring the data from one phone to another or from phone to laptop/PC vice versa your RAM will be key player in that, the latest storage is UFS 4.0 but in our budget we can gain access to UFS 3.0. The RAM/ROM should be at least 8GB/128GB just keep in mind the more the better!
UFS 4.0
3)Processor and its Version:
What is a Processor?
A processor, also known as a central processing unit (CPU), is the brain of a smartphone. It is responsible for carrying out all the computational tasks, executing instructions, and running applications on the device. The speed and efficiency of a processor play a crucial role in determining how smoothly a smartphone functions. Core: Processors can have multiple cores, with each core capable of executing tasks independently. More cores translate to higher multitasking capabilities.
Clock Speed: Measured in gigahertz (GHz), the clock speed determines how fast the processor can execute instructions.
Architecture: The architecture of a processor determines how efficiently it can process data and handle complex tasks.
4)Security and Updates:
Automatic Updates
Most smartphones offer the option to enable automatic updates, which automatically download and install the latest security patches.
By enabling this feature, you can ensure that your device receives timely updates without having to manually check for them.
Automatic updates help streamline the process and ensure that your device stays protected at all times.
Manual Checks
If automatic updates are not enabled, it is essential to regularly check for new security updates manually.
You can typically find the update settings in the "Software Update" section of your smartphone's settings menu.
Make it a habit to check for updates periodically to ensure that your device is always running the latest security software.
5)Software and UI(User Interface):
Goal-driven design – The aim is to create app design for the right users. Conduct user research through interviews and surveys. This will help you create user personas which further aids in creating specific user goals and tailoring your app workflow to meet user demands.
Usability – Your app needs to be usable. If your users cannot use your app with ease, it is likely that they won’t download it. Usability is the prime most step in making your product desirable.
Affordance and Signifiers – An affordance is a function while signifiers serve as signs that indicate affordances. For instance, red, underlined text or keyword indicates a user that clicking on it will direct them to another page. Using a signifier correctly will help users understand what a UI element does.
Learnability – A user would expect to instinctively know how to use the user interface. This is where design pattern comes into the picture. Using familiar design patterns will help users get easily acquainted with your app.
Feedback and Response Time – Feedback is essential to let users know if a task was completed or not. A feedback can either be a simple beep or a complex model window.
