Introduction Dear friends, recall the starting era of basic cell phones or mobile phones when we were excited and  happy to get  voice calls or SMS from   family members, relatives, friends, business partners, etc. during our movement because wireless cellular phones were really a boon for communication when we were away from landline phones. Advancement in technology and our ambitions made a step further when we got the smart phone in our hand.  With the help of smartphones, we can do much more than voice and SMS. Now we are connected worldwide with the internet, social media, GPS, financial online transactions, e-commerce platforms, fitness & other apps, and much more. Now with the introduction of Artificial Intelligence (AI)  in smartphones, this small device has become a good advisor for people. In each and every field and round the clock, smartphones are our well-wishers which  are alerting us if weather is abnormal, if the phone is lost, if your heartbeat , sleep pattern,  important parameters of the body  are not normal, any fraud, financial transactions, etc. Now they are advising us for future planning in any field. In the future,  we are expecting that we will get much more than our present thinking or ambitions. In this blog, we will explore the latest smartphones available in the market.

Features of a good smartphone: Our smartphone should be loaded with the latest, powerful and best features. Some of the features are described below:

Power full and latest processor with software support and upgradation: Processor speed may be  1.5 GHz to 1.99 GHz, 2 GHz to 2.4 GHz, 2.5 GHz and more. Upgradation should be available for  2 to 5 years.

RAM: It should be enough to meet our needs for the next few years. RAM is Random Access Memory, it is temporary memory of the device where data is immediately stored for further applications; however data in RAM will be lost when the device goes off.

Storage capacity (ROM - Read Only Memory): More capacity means you can store more data, pictures, video etc. Capacity is measured in GB (Giga bytes) units. 1GB=  1 Billion bytes. For example, a 1GB memory card can store a maximum of 700 pictures depending on the resolution    (unit megapixel) of the picture. Internal storage capacity or cellular phone memory storage capacity may be 64 GB, 128 GB. 256 GB, 512 GB or more.

Camera:   High resolution camera loaded with latest and AI features like Telephoto lens, Portrait mode, Stabilized main camera unit for adjustable and comfortable low light shooting, etc. Resolution in Megapixels: It is a unit of picture quality in digital form. a 50 megapixels camera means it is capable of capturing images having 50 millions pixels (tiny square) of digital information per square inch. Therefore, a 50 megapixels camera is better than a 40 or 30 megapixels camera.

Screen display: Display Refresh rate:  More rate means more fast and efficient display. 120 Hz refresh rate is better than 60 Hz. Good quality screen like Super AMOLED and safety features like Corning Gorilla glass 3,4,5 protection.

Mobile phone connectivity mode:  Should have various options like: Lightning USB type C, Wi Fi, Bluetooth, 3.5 mm jack, etc.

Biometric security features: Face recognition and Fingerprint recognition.

Phone weight: Light weight is better. Weight may be around 140 grams to 250 grams.

Operating system: should be the latest. Android 13.0, 14.0, Oxygen OS,  iOS, etc.

Security update features: Smartphones  should be capable of accommodating new versions and security updates of Operations System (OS) for 3 to 5 years.

Cellular technology:  4G or 5G (5G is better). Service providers are making you comfortable by providing unlimited a high speed 5G communication network plan.

Battery capacity and charging: Capacity may be  around 3000mAh to 6000mAh or more. More capacity means it will run longer. Wired, wireless and fast charging options should be available. Bionic feature: It means 4 high efficiency and 2 high performance cores are used to save battery life.

IP rating:   IP rating 68 (IP68) is considered the best. Various models with IP68 rating are available in the market.   IP68 rating smartphones are made of good quality glass and aluminum frame.

Value for money: If there is not much difference between the features of the latest model and last year model, you can save the money by buying the last year model. High end smartphones are costly. High end smartphones from Apple and Samsung  are costly by US$100 (approx.) in 2024. However, Galaxy smartphones and iPhones are available at approximately the same price as in 2023.
