7 Great Tips on Finding the Right Mobile Phones in Singapore
Smartphones and tablets are important possessions that keep you updated on social media and emails. They allow you to capture photos, watch videos, play games, and much more. With the ability to do these things, your phone can become one of your most important possessions. That’s why choosing the right one is a big deal.
Android or iOs: Your Choice
If you’re not sure whether to get an iOS or Android handset, there are points to keep in mind. If you want a handset that is easy to use and receives the latest apps and updates, then go for an iPhone. On the other hand, if you want better processing power and a range of affordable options, then opt for an Android phone.
Don’t go over your budget
Many premium smartphones start at a price of around SGD 900 and can go over SGD 1,100 for deluxe editions. If you are short on budget, there are great Android phones below SGD 600. Some brands even offer solid flagships for less than SGD 500. Check out our price list below for the best budget smartphones in Singapore.
Get a good display size
If you want a one-hand-friendly phone, go for a phone with a 5.5-inch display size. Otherwise, get a handset with a bigger screen size so you can watch your favourite movies, play mobile games, or multitask with the split-screen mode. Also, smartphone companies these days are focusing on ways to manufacture large-display phones that you can hold in one hand with ease, like the 5.7-inch LG G6 or the 5.8-inch iPhone XS.
Take note of the colour quality and brightness
A 4K resolution display on smartphones definitely entices many buyers. But keep in mind that it’s more important to focus on the colour quality and brightness over the resolution. This is because you will be using your phone outdoors and the screen should be bright enough so you can see it clearly. The panel of the display is another essential aspect. If you’re a frequent multimedia viewer, it’s best to choose an AMOLED screen with high HDR that displays rich colours such as Samsung Galaxy phones and Vivo phones.
Don’t pay much attention to megapixels
Aside from battery life, the camera is another essential smartphone feature. When looking at camera specs, don’t pay much attention to the megapixels, instead focus on more important features like the aperture, lens, and ISO. This is because the number of megapixels only provides details to an image when you zoom in on the image. So, it’s better to opt for a handset with a lower aperture, dual or triple lenses, and high ISO. Some instances of noteworthy camera phones with the aforementioned features are Apple iPhone 11 Pro, Huawei P30 Pro, and Samsung Galaxy S20.
Processor matters
Many mid-range phones today are equipped with decent processors, which are good enough to run demanding apps and games. However, if you want a better processor, say, for graphics-intensive mobile games or multimedia enjoyment, go for an Android device with the latest Snapdragon chipset.
Go for a capacious battery life
Do settle for a smartphone that houses a battery capacity of over 3,000 mAh. It’s important that the smartphone has a good battery life so you don't have to constantly charge your phone. Check out Huawei P30 Pro (4,200mAh) and Samsung Galaxy S20 Plus (4,500mAh) for longlasting battery life. The icing on the cake to these two smartphones’ capacious battery is their wireless charging capability. All it takes to juice up your smartphone battery in no time is by placing it on top of a fast wireless charging pad.
