Useful tips for choosing the right smartphone
Check the display characteristics. If you like to watch movies or play games, pay attention to the resolution (Full HD+ or higher) and refresh rate (90-120 Hz).
RAM and built-in memory. To prevent your smartphone from slowing down after installing dozens of apps, it’s best to choose models with at least 4-6 GB of RAM and 128 GB of internal storage.
Battery. A capacity of 5000 mAh or more is already a standard in the mid-range class.
NFC support. Are you planning to pay with a smartphone? Check whether it has an NFC module – some “global” and “regional” versions of the same smartphone may or may not have one.
Software and security updates. Find out how many years the manufacturer promises to support the device, as this affects the protection against vulnerabilities and the relevance of the system.
In general, if we consider the price of up to 9000-10000 UAH, there are many worthy options for a wide range of users. Having made a conscious choice based on your own needs, it is quite easy to find a device that will fully satisfy all your daily needs – without having to spend more than necessary.
