Smartphone market is exploding in India these days and so are online stores selling them at cut-edge prices. Inboxes are flooded with mouth-watering deals which sometimes sound too good to be true. While most of them are tricks to clear old stocks, some of them may give you a good value for the money.
Below are few tricks which you should follow before going after any such offers.
1.Software
Check which Operating System and Version does it use
Android- Donot take any smartphone having OS less than Android 2.0. For your information Android 4.0 is already in market so it is advisable to go for the most updated version.
Windows Mobile is outdated and has been replaced by Windows Phone. Never ever take any smartphone offering you any damn version of Windows Mobile.
Iphone- iPhone 4S is out and Apple is looking forward to iPhone 5. The only leagacy versions supported by Apple are iPhone 4 and iPhone 3GS. Donot take any other versions of iPhone
2. Hardware
Below are the minimum standard hardware requirements as of today for a good smartphone
600 MHz Processor
256 MB RAM
3G Compatible
Wifi Enabled
2 MP Camera
3. Make sure that the model you are purchasing is not too old. Donot take any model which was launced more than 3 years back unless you are ready to compromise with money, user-experience and security.
4. Compare the prices online from different stores. A good website we recommend is www.naaptol.com . Also read the review of the users who already purchased it. Never take anything which has bad review. Remember no body writes bad for anything unless he is highly disappointed.
5. For the complete and detailed technical specifications always go to the manufacturer’s website rather than trusting the store-keeper or the online store where you are placing the order.
