What to Look for When Buying a new Smartphone!

When buying a new smartphone, don't always look at the most expensive brands, unless you are 100% sure  that is what you want. Cheaper , less expensive phones can be the same quality or perhaps even better than the more expensive makes and brands. The only reason these phones cost any more than the others is because lots of people believe that price is quality. However don't go thinking that you've found a bargain if you've found a phone thats a lot cheaper than most of the others , because more often not if it sounds to good to be true it will be.

When hunting for a new phone the first thing you need to know is: what do you want from it ?  Some people prefer having a phone with lots of capability equal to that of a computer whereas others prefer more basic smartphones that are easier to navigate and simple to use.

If you're one of those people who love a phone with lots of capability and power, the brands Apple and Samsung will be your first place to look . Apple's iPhone 5 offers an easy to surf yet more complex operating system which is able to surf the internet , use social media (such as Facebook and Twitter) , download up to 4,000,000 apps and use a camera which can both film and take pictures in a high resolution (pixel quality). Samsung's s4, however, offers the same capabilities with a few more added gimmicks that you can show off to your friends and family, such as scrolling pages on the internet with your eyes and being able to lock your phone using face recognition tecnology. Although it's not as easy to use it does offer more capabilities and functions for those who require it.

But if your hunting for a simpler smartphone , but still want to be in with the new trend of the 21st century, you'll want to be looking at some of Samsung's cheaper options as well as some of the earlier Windows phones which you should be able to get for around 80-180 pounds. If your not much of a technology freak,but still want to give smartphones a go , these are the brands for you .
