Have you decided to buy a new phone for yourself recently? You may be overwhelmed with too much technical information today because the phone market has evolved so much from just a mobile phone to a multi tasking smartphone. For those people who have decided to upgrade their mobile phones, it might be hard for them to choose which phone is the best for them due to unknown lingo.
The technical specifications of smartphones today is almost like a personal computer. They almost use the same jargon as that of a computer when it comes to speed, memory, storage capacity, etc. because a smartphone does function like a computer, the only difference is that it is smaller and the capabilities are limited as compared with a standard laptop or desktop.
In order to choose which smart phone is the best for a buyer, let us walk through the different specifications and briefly explain the language used by manufacturers when they advertise their phones:
Operating system or OS - since smartphones today act like a laptop or desktop computer, they have their own operating systems so that it runs just like a computer. Different brands have their own OS but the most mainstream are the Google Android, wherein the OS was designed to be completely compatible with Windows operating systems and the iOS, which runs on iPhones and is 100% compatible with Mac computers.Gigahertz or GHz - this abbreviation denotes the speed of the central processing unit of the smartphone. A typical smartphone today would carry about 1 GHz of processing speed and this specification dictates how fast and responsive the OS and its applications will be when the device is used.
Random Access Memory or RAM - this technical specification dictates the number of programs or applications that can run simultaneously without experiencing slow downs on responsiveness of the smartphone. Typically, a normal smartphone would carry about 256 megabytes or 256 MB of RAM, which is sufficient for normal applications such as web browsing, photo viewing and document processing. A higher RAM or a 512 RAM should be aimed for by a smartphone buyer if they are going to use it for playing games and other application heavy programs.
Megapixels or MP - all smartphones carry with them built-in cameras. A normal smartphone has a 2-3 MP camera, wherein the resolution is high enough for photos to be viewed on display screens. If you are aiming to print photos taken from your phone's camera, aim for a device that carries a higher resolution camera, probably about 4-6 MP.
Cellular data internet speed or 3G or 4G - this specification dictates the speed of the smartphone when sending and receiving data from the cellular carrier. Normal smartphones would be 3G compatible,which is already reliable internet speed connection. 4G smartphones are already on the market but the internet connection speed would still depend on the cellular carrier provider when it comes to what type of internet connection they offer.
Gigabyte or GB - this abbreviation is used for storage capacity. Normally a smartphone would have a built-in memory of 8GB, which is enough to store different types of files, from videos to documents. Moreover, smartphones have memory card slots which allow users to expand their storage capacity through the use of memory cards. Most of the time the storage capacity can be expanded up to 32GB.
Knowing this technical jargon will truly help in choosing the best smartphone for you. Other categories to consider are which accessories or enhancements are available on the market and are 100% compatible with the smartphone.
In the end, having a basic knowledge about these specifications would truly help you choose a smartphone that you will treasure and that you could bring with you anywhere and anytime.
