And with this we finalize this selection of the best mobiles on the market. Difficult choice, right? Our advice is that you pay special attention to the aspects mentioned in the first part of this post, which do not be guided solely by the price or the reputation of the brand and, above all, that you look for the mobile that best suits your needs, use and expectations.

What you should take into account when buying the best mobile

It is clear that the vast majority of all of us are going to take the price as the main axis of our decision, however, we must also be aware that the price is very relative because sometimes, what costs a little more today ends up being profitable better and longer and, in the long run, it can be cheaper. So, without losing sight of the price factor, but minimizing something of importance, when choosing a new mobile phone we must pay special attention to factors such as the following.

Screen: size and quality

Currently, the so-called phablets (smartphones with screens larger than 5,5 inches) are gaining ground, however, there are still many users who prefer a smaller mobile. The truth is that, if you have good eyesight, and you are not going to use your terminal to read or watch videos intensively on YouTube, Netflix or the like, you may prefer a more manageable device to one with a larger screen. On the other hand, if a big screen is something you are not willing to give up, you should also consider that More and more manufacturers are making better use of the front of the terminal to offer more screen in less space. Of course, in the image quality you should also consider the type of panel (LCD or AMOLED) and the resolution (HD, FHD, 4k, etc.).

Performance and power

None of us want a new phone to hang, so another of the main aspects we must pay attention to is power and performance. If we are going to make a "basic" use (facebook, twitter, email, surf the internet ...), the simplest processors will give us a smooth experience. However, If we are going to give it a go with more complete apps, games with good graphics and more, then we must opt ​​for powerful, high-speed and energy-efficient processors that are as efficient as possible.. To give you an idea, some of the chips ordered from lowest to highest endorsement are MediaTek MT6735, Snapdragon 210, Mediatek MT6753, Snapdragon 415 and 430, MediaTek Helio P10, Snapdragon 616 and 617, Kinrin 650, MediaTek Helio P20, Snapdragon 650 , MediaTek Helio X20, Exynos 8890, Snapdragon 820, Snapdragon 835, etc.

Operating System

At this point it is evident: the latest version of Android will always be the best option although, as we know, this is difficult to achieve. Our advice is that you do not buy any phone that is not based, at least, on Android 6.0 Marshmallow onwards.

Internal storage

The vast majority of Android smartphones have support for microSD cards, however, if you want a smooth operation of your applications, if you are going to play powerful games, make sure you have plenty of storage. The 16GB already falls short for most users, so better starts at 32GB and up. On the microSD card you can store photos, videos, your music ... But the apps and games will run in the phone's memory, and that's where the key is.

Photography

If you take a lot of photos, and you also want them to be of quality, you should choose a smartphone with a good camera but beware! there are more important aspects than megapixels:

• Larger opening (a f smaller).
• Shorter focal length.
• Larger sensor size.
• The quality of the lens or objective.
• The speed of focus.
• That it has an optical stabilizer.
• HDR.
• The processing software.

In short, those of you who know about photography will know better than I what you should pay more attention to, and surely you will.

Other aspects that we can / should consider

Along with the size and quality of the screen, the power and performance of the device, the camera or the operating system with which it is delivered, there are other aspects that we must also observe when buying a new mobile phone. Some of them, and whose importance will depend largely on the use we give it or our own expectations:

• Water and dust resistance.
• 4G connectivity category.
• Fast charging system compatibility.
• Fingerprint reader.
• Speaker quality.
• Battery Capacity
• And so on…
