Shopping for a new cell phone is often quite a dilemma. Buy a new device or finance one with a carrier? iOS or Android? How do you know if the camera is good or if it’s powerful enough to play a particular game? There are many questions to consider before choosing the right cell phone for your needs.<\/p>\n

The previous points are essential. However, other questions and aspects must sometimes be taken into account, such as the presence of a dual SIM, while some users will prefer to turn to construction phones because of their job.<\/p>\n

Finally, it is also important to think about people who do not necessarily need advanced features and want a phone just to be able to call at all times.<\/p>\n

Here is a summary of the steps.<\/p>\n

Step 1: Determine your needs<\/strong><\/p>\n

Step 2: Determine your budget<\/strong><\/p>\n

Step 3: Choose your cell phone<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you already have a cell phone and are looking for a plan, refer to our guide on how to choose a cell phone plan<\/a> or proceed directly to a plan search by entering your personal preferences.<\/p>\n

Step 1: Determine your needs<\/h2>\n

Which screen is right for you?<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

In 2023, the average screen size varies between 6.1 and 6.8 inches<\/strong> (15.5 x 17.25 cm). Depending on the model, they offer a higher or lower resolution and rely on pixel density in dpi (dots per inch), but be aware that 300 dpi<\/strong> is the limit of the human eye. Unless you have a superhuman visual capacity, you will not see the difference between two screens offering 300 dpi<\/strong> and 1000 dpi<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Also keep in mind that phones larger than 6.1 inches<\/strong> are a little harder to handle or to put in a pocket, which increases the chances of a fall. On the other hand, they are more pleasant if you have to work and write on your phone.<\/p>\n

What battery life do you need?<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Current phones offer a battery life of one to two days. Manufacturer’s data sheets on battery size can give an indication, for example, a good current battery will offer at least 4500mAh<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

However, there are other factors to consider such as a high resolution which leads to an overall increase in power consumption.<\/p>\n

Referring to tests is otherwise a good solution to compare the autonomy of different models.<\/p>\n
