    Budget:

The budget defines anything you are willing to spend on. If you money you can spend more to get more. But with limited budget it becomes kind of tricky and tough to get the best one. Smartphones are available within low end range of 5000 up to high end range of 5000. Depending on your budget, you should categorize all those smartphones that comes under your range. All smart phones nowadays gives basic internet and media functionalities that most people like to have. So, it must not be hard to select some good brands within your budget that comes with all the specifications that you require.

   Features:

With more spending budget, you will get more features and vice versa. So, after the first option, where you have zeroed-in on some smart phones depending on your budget range, compare their various specifications, and chose the ones that supports your needs and priorities:    

• Operating System:        

Operating System (OS) means the platform on which a phone’s application and programs run. All the basic functionalities of a Smart Phone are defined by – which OS  it runs on. Android is the no. 1 choice for all those who are looking for some affordable and wide varieties of smart phones that can support all third party app needs. While, if you are looking for some high standards and are a statement maker, then Apple iPhone gives you all that. For all those addicted to the Microsoft platform, Nokia gives them a great interface in its various ranges of Smart Phones that runs on Windows OS.

• Display:

There were a regular routine for 3.5-inch displays in the smartphones way back in the last decade. But now the focus has been shifted to bigger sizes, especially in competition to the tablets. Now more and more smart phones are being launched in the display range of 4 inch to 5.5 inches. Also the screen resolution and the screen technology are very important in selection of smart phones as they come in various technologies like Amoled, Retina or Clear Type display.

• Processor:

Earlier people did not used to fret a lot about processors, as more focus was on the media and entertainment segment of the phone. But now, with smart phones giving you more and more computing functionalities, the value of a good processor has become more essential. A user with high gaming needs will require a high-end processor for his purpose. And a person with just music taste can do with a normal processor. There are  various processors available like, single core, dual core and quad-core. Choose the one that fits your need. If you are a person who logs online more often for your email and business purpose, then you should be looking for high-end processor, and complement it with a higher RAM too.

• Camera:

Since first mobile phones that came in market studded with camera, it has become a regular and preferred feature in the smart phones category. People look to buy phones that give them a higher mega-pixel and screen resolution facility among other image management tools. After selecting the appropriate Processor and Display versions, look to select the best camera quality from those. Camera quality can be compromised, but not processor and display (in my personal opinion).

• Battery life:

This is one another important and one of the most ignored factor. Users generally do not realize that their smart phone’s application’s and program’s life, and durability depend a lot on the battery life of that phone. The higher and better the battery life of a smart phone, the better interface and functionality use it provides you.

• Network Compliance:

Bluetooth, WiFi, 3G are a must nowadays in such digital age. And these applications are demanded as must-have, because if not for them, your smartphone can be all, but a complete solution for your smart phone and computing needs.

• Third party applications:

More than 70%use of the smart phones nowadays is spent on third party apps by users.So, it is quite understandable, that the phones that offer good support for third party apps, will give their users more to enjoy and work and so must be preferred.
