10 Must-Have Smartphone Features
Gone
are the days of 2G networks, hard-to-press keypads, and 3MP cameras on cell
phones as flagship brands offer more advanced and user-friendly features to
provide the best service for users. Marking its annual celebration of
Cybermonth this August, SM has its pulse on the trends with a list of
smartphone must-have features to consider when shopping for new phones!
BIOMETRICS
Biometrics
are now used to lock smartphones and keep our private data safe. The most
common biometric security features include fingerprint scanning, face
recognition and even iris scanning. It is best to buy smartphones with a
biometrics feature to ensure the security of files.
MULTIPLE CAMERAS
Most
smartphones are already equipped with back and front cameras but there are
phones with dual rear cameras emerging in the market now. Smartphones with
multiple cameras are perfect for those who love to take selfies or
professional-like images without the hassle of bringing heavy camera equipment
every day or during travels.
WIRELESS CHARGING
Many
popular brands are now adapting wireless charging where users can simply place
their smartphones on top of a charging block, stand or mat and leave it to charge.
It’s neater, faster and hassle-free.
VOICE CONTROL
This
feature enables users to do tasks on their smartphones without using their
hands and is best for those who drive and are always pressed for time. Through
voice control, users can play music, answer calls, open apps or find files by
just speaking directly to the device’s microphone.
WATERPROOF
It is
best to get a waterproof phone to protect it from spills, humidity, rain
showers and sometimes, even full immersion underwater.
256 GB STORAGE
Big
storage space enables users to store more files, photos and videos and to
install more apps.
FRONT FACING SPEAKERS
Speakers
are important for those who watch movies and videos on their phones a lot or
for those who like entertainment on-the-go.
BIG-SCEEN DISPLAY
For
those who like to stream videos and edit photos on their phones, it is best to
get a smartphone with a screen size ranging from 5.5 to 6 inches in full HD
display.
POWERFUL PROCESSORS
Smartphone
processors run web browsing, GPS, music streaming, videos, 4G connectivity and
other scores of tasks performed by our phone on a daily basis. For those who
use their phones often, it is best to look for devices with a powerful chipset,
such as Apple’s A11 Bionic, Qualcomm SDM660 Snapdragon 660, Exynos 9810, and HiSilicon
Kirin 970 among others.
MULTI-WINDOW
This
feature is perfect for those who like to multi-task. It enables the user to
accomplish different tasks at once such as watching a move while browsing on
Google or messaging a friend while video-calling another.
Smartphones
continues to evolve, that is why it is exciting to shop for gadgets with the
most advanced features.
