Mobile phones now are very stylish, have different designs and even features that can compete with computers
. With all these changing and new ones coming in month, it's quite difficult to choose a mobile phone. But remember that a mobile phone should be based on your personal taste and not others since you are the one who'll be using it and not them. Here are a dew tips to help you out when you want to buy a mobile phone that will fit your personality.
1. Look beyond the features and design. When choosing a mobile phone, it should be performance wise. It's the most critical point to consider when buying a mobile phone. Make sure that the cellphone's calling system is good if not great, it's no use to have the most design centered, full featured phone when the call quality is poor.
2. When it comes to reception and signal strength, it's not just the network company you should consider but the phone as well. The phone's receiver and antennae play a big role when it comes to getting a clear reception.
3. Determine the quality of the call on the mobile phone model you have in mind. Read reviews on the phone, but since call quality is quite subjective, you might want to test it out yourself. It's good to ask second opinion of friends. Ask them for what they would recommend, if they have a phone similar or the same as one that you like, then you can ask them to test the phone or calls. Always do this even when you are in a store and thinking to buy a phone that interests you. If all the phones they have on display don't work, you can always ask the sales person to get you one that actually works. Now that you have a working model, evaluate the quality of the call, the clarity of the voices, does it have background noise reduction and take note of the volume level. You can always take your phone for a test if necessary within the grace period and some stores are willing to exchange it.
4. If you are looking for a mobile phone which has good multimedia presence especially video and camera, then consider the performance also. Not all camera phones are high end and give good photo quality, and some music plays better on other phones. Some phones even have dedicated music keys so you can easily access your tracks and play them. Listen to the music quality, is it clear, good? Or does it sound a bit muffled? For camera phones, you can test the camera's quality while in the store. Is the image good? Is it pixelated? Is it blurry and so on. For media playing and streaming, performance varies especially among 3G phones. Evaluate all of these media features before deciding to choose a phone model.
5. Most importantly, ask about the battery life of a phone. You don't want to have a phone whose battery drains in an hour or so after use, you don't want to always charge your phone everyday. You'd want a mobile phone that at least will enable you three hours of talking time and which will go up to five days of standby time. The phone's battery life depends on the manufacturer and you can't test this on the stores since it takes too much time. Check reviews on the battery life of the phone's you have in mind.
Now those are important tips that will help you to consider the different phone models and choose which one will suite you. Don't buy a phone out of whim because it's on sale or that you favorite actor/actress endorses it. Remember these useful tips before you consider buying that phone that you always wanted.
