In the salons of mobile communications, a huge selection of different smartphones of all price groups is presented today. The devices of the most famous manufacturers are often unaffordable, so you have to choose the ones that are cheaper.
Necessary
- - manuals for the operation of budget smartphones;
- - descriptions of the technical characteristics of popular gadgets;
- - help from a sales assistant.
Instructions
Step 1
Walk around the salons of mobile communications, make a list of the models of smartphones available in each of them with prices, having previously determined the upper limit for yourself. The cost of the same model may differ in different places, and sometimes it is very noticeable.
Step 2
Armed with a list of inexpensive models for sale in your city, search the internet for the specifications of each and read consumer reviews. Pay particular attention to the places where the reliability of the device is mentioned. After that, the list will probably be greatly reduced - people do not hesitate to write criticism if the product is something they do not like. For example, the battery charge is short for a short time, there is instability in operation, poor sound, poor-quality display, etc. At the same time, one should not completely trust the reviews either - some may be written only due to the fact that the person simply did not understand the controls or functional features of the phone.
Step 3
When studying the technical characteristics, pay attention to those sides of the descriptions that seem to you the most important. It can be camera quality, sound, battery capacity, LTE support, BlueTooth and Wi-Fi availability, touch screen type, picture quality, design … Decide for yourself which model you like best and suits you.
Step 4
Pay attention to the platform the smartphone is built on. The most popular are Android and Windows Phone. The operating system from Microsoft is not installed on cheap smartphones at all, and Android has a very developed functionality, sufficient to solve many problems. However, it should be understood that Android on cheap hardware does not feel very comfortable, and in this case the phone will most likely “accelerate” for a long time after being turned on, spontaneous reboots of the device, unstable operation and even freezing are possible. If functionality is important to you at a low price, be prepared for some inconvenience. In particular, to the fact that you have to reboot the gadget a couple of times a day to restore normal operation.
Step 5
If the most important thing for you is uninterrupted operation of a smartphone with a low level of functionality, try buying an inexpensive smartphone on the new Asha platform - it is promoted by the Finnish company Nokia. These smartphones are reliable, presented in several modifications and design options, beautiful and functional enough.
