11 Android Specifications To Check Out For Before Buying A New Smartphone by dollarprincess(f): 12:16pm On Sep 24, 2016
This is a very crucial aspect of smartphone purchase tips. Know it now that its very risky not checking out if a phone fits the bill before purchase, this mistake could go an extended manner to haunt you. So here’s my advice for you, before purchasing a phone make sure you’ve checked for its specifications to ensure they actually comply with what am about to uncover below.


11 Android Specifications To Check Out For Before Buying A New Smartphone.

1. Screen Size/Resolution:This deals with the size of the device screen. It is most likely measured in inches or cm/mm. Are you keen on massive display screen smartphone? then you definitely have to be searching at a device within the range or large than 5.5/6.0 Inches.

2. Android OS:Ensure it’s running on the maximum current version of Android OS. As at the time of this writing, Android 6.0 (Marshmallow) should be your minimum target though Lollipop ain’t bad either, just make sure it has OTA update to receive latest Android updates.
3. Camera Pixels (Front & Rear):
We all know about the power of our cameras, taking high definition selfies(HD) hmmm... I don't joke with that ooo. So make sure your front facing camera is up to the task, the rear should also be a monster yeah I mean a (monster) sharp and bright as in eeh. You should be looking at a device in the range of (Minimum: Front=5MP & Rear=8MP) anything less than this please don't think about it. If you so love snapping pictures at night then consider buying a phone with dual lead mild(yeah I mean light), going
for double lead rear camera light is perfect even though some single lead camera phone could appear brighter.
4. Battery Capacity:In my country here Nigeria with rapid decadence in electricity, it’s very paramount you don’t forget this. The potential of your cellphone ought to be not anything less than 4000mAh until you need to go approximately carrying a power bank. 3000mAh battery capacity is conceivable although.

5. Network Type:This is optional but important if you’re looking to the future of Naija telecommunication providers. Our cell network vendors can simplest offer max 3.75G internet speed. Having a device that can power 4G connection is way cooler and a plus considering the fact that it will in future cover for incoming 4G LTE network. With the new Ntel about to roll out its 4G connection in selected states , don’t be left behind.
6. Processor Speed:This covers the response behaviour of your phone apps and services. If you’re the type that enjoys playing high graphics games then you should endeavour to go for a minimum of 1.4GHz. (Hexacore or Octacore)
7. RAM(random access memory) :Sincerely speaking this has made me to change a lot of phones so
Don’t hesitate to get a device with minimum of 2GB Ram. With that, you can run more apps & services at once without experiencing a crash or your phone hanging unnecessarily.
8. Storage Capacity:
Internal storage capacity of your phone should be at least 8GB and expandable with SD card. With this you can install more apps plus save more pictures, documents, videos and music.
9. Quick Charging Feature (Flash Charge):
Phones are recently built with ‘Quick Charge’, this features allows you to be able to charge your phone quicker and faster using a ‘Quick Charge’ charger. In addition to the specs above, your desired Android phone will be much more complete with such feature. I’m really enjoying it here, writing from experience.
10.OTA Update:
Why get a device without OTA updates? It can be very frustrating seeing your buddy get firmware updates on his/her device and you not getting, don’t make the mistake. Make sure you confirm that
that phone will constantly receive updates to firmware, services and functionality before making a purchase.
11. Weight: hmm...why hmm... because
the larger its screen, the heavier. The larger its battery capacity, the heavier. I can’t be specific about this, however, make sure you compare all properties before purchasing.Some devices can be annoyingly heavy so ensure to check its weight before buying.
