We do everything in our daily life like social media activity, talking on the phone, watching videos, playing games etc. using mobile phones specially smartphones. Before buying a smartphone, you have to choose a brand, model, design, budget, etc. and at this point various questions are created in mind. So to end this question, here are some tips for 2021 to buy a good quality mobile phone.
Mobile type
There are two types of mobile phones available in Bangladesh, smartphone and button phone. Smartphones are the most popular because they are powered by powerful operating systems such as Android, iOS, Tizen. Button phone is great as 2nd phone. Many elderly people in Bangladesh prefer the button phone for its low price and usable feature. Some button phones are very small in size and are known as mini phones in Bangladesh.
Network
Bangladesh currently has 3G, 4G and 5G networks. Try to buy the maximum according to your budget. And keep in mind that the version above will support the lower version, which means you can run 4G and 3G if you accept 5G.
Dual SIM
Most of the new mobile phones available in Bangladesh are dual SIM. However, some sets may have one SIM. Used mobiles which are usually imported and sold from abroad are single SIM.
Display
Size: If you use the internet a lot, you should take a big screen mobile such as a minimum of 5-6 inches. The screen of iPhone and some older models of mobile phones are much smaller. However, they are quite affordable.
Resolution: Most of the current mobiles are HD screens. However, Full HD will give you better quality.
Protection: If you have gorilla or other protected glass, you don't need a screen protector anymore.
Density: This issue is not important to many but it can be used to determine the value of the screen. Try to get a minimum of 270 ppi. And at 400 you can see very good quality pictures.
RAM
2 GB is enough to run normal applications. However, 3 GB is better. And if you want to play modern games on mobile, you need to have 4 GB.
Storage
At least 16 GB will work. And see if there are additional slots. If not, it is better to take more than 16 GB. Older models usually have less storage but have card slots.
Processor
Dual cores may be a little slow but will work if the budget is low. And quad core CPU will work well. The new model mobile has Octacore CPU.
Camera
Buy by looking at the lens quality of the camera, not by looking at the megapixels. Take pictures at night or in low light so you can learn about the low-light performance of the camera.
Sensors
If you have a digital compass, gyroscope, SPO2 or pulse oximeter, activity tracker, you will get a lot of benefits.
Budget
Low price Android smartphone mobiles are available in Bangladesh at around Tk 6,000 to Tk 8,000 which are usually made in China or Bangladesh. One tip is to buy an older model flagship phone on this budget so you can get better quality hardware for less money. A mobile phone can be bought for a minimum of Tk 3,000. And the mobile with 2 GB RAM will be available under Tk 5,000. If you want to buy a mobile with 3 GB RAM, you have to have a budget of Tk 9,000-10,000 and it works much faster as it has a high quality processor.
