A mobile phone is an accessory that every person, young and old, should have with them. It is needed for work and communication, constantly being in touch with loved ones, as well as calling for help in an emergency. When choosing a phone, you need to focus on its format and set of functions.
Instructions
Step 1
You can buy a mobile phone only in cell phone stores or home appliances and electronics stores. It is highly discouraged to purchase it in passages and on the street from random people - the device is likely to be stolen or by a Chinese fake, which will work poorly and constantly freeze. A used device bought from a thrift store may have a hidden defect that negates all savings.
Step 2
The most popular form of the phone is an ordinary candy bar ("brick", as it is popularly called). It has no moving parts and is therefore durable and resistant to mechanical damage. The slider and the clamshell are more stylish, but the joint between their parts is a weak link, which the candy bar does not have. They should not be bought by absent-minded people who keep dropping things. A modern variation is a smartphone - a device loved by the younger generation for communication, communication and Internet access.
Step 3
The standard functions of almost any phone: calls and SMS, clock and alarm, calculator and organizer. Those people who use their device not only to make calls, but also prefer to spend their free time with it, should pay attention to models with support for games, multimedia, the ability to listen to the radio and access to the Internet. The elderly part of the population is not always able to master even the simplest program, so for grandparents it is better to buy a device with large buttons, a minimum of functions and emergency keys.
Step 4
The choice between a touchscreen phone and a keypad phone depends on the user's preference, but it should be borne in mind that in order to get a response from most touch devices in winter, you have to take off your gloves, which threatens to numb your fingers in severe frost. The advantage of such devices is the enlarged screen, which takes up the space intended for buttons in conventional devices. It is convenient for web browsing, videos and photos.
Step 5
An important factor is the battery capacity. Some phones have to be charged for 2-3 days, while others - once every 1-2 weeks. When buying, you should pay attention to the number of hours of talk and standby operation. There are models of increased strength (they are taken by hunters and just lovers of outdoor trips), which, in addition to a good battery, have a built-in dynamo that can recharge a dead battery to make an important call.
