We test a variety of electronic products in our test center and our cell phone review team is the most active. This is because the phone market is busier compared to other devices. Many cell phones are hitting the market; some are masterpieces while others are disaster pieces. When we write cell phone reviews, we look for the following factors.
A cell phone screen is the first thing you are likely to see on a phone. If the phone is high-end, we need a high resolution because it gives you a lot of space to work with. Most phones use LCD screens, but some high-end devices have now started using AMOLED and OLED screens. This technology gives you better quality, but they also come at a higher price.
Not all phones have keypads. Smartphones are getting rid of this to have a bigger screen. Some smartphones have slide-out QWERTY keyboards. If the phone has a sliding interface, we look for a smooth movement in the joints. Keyboards should be spacious and provide a good typing experience. The buttons should also be raised above the surface, making typing easier.
The music player is very important in a cell phone. People look for a good music player in a phone because they don’t want to carry a separate PMP. Service providers also offer a variety of services for music purchases. When we write cell phone reviews, we check if the music quality is good. We also looked for features like on-the-fly playlist creation and repeat and shuffle modes. Finally, a high-end smartphone must have a 3.5mm jack that allows us to connect any standard headset.
If you’re a fan of shutter bugs on a budget, you’re likely to buy a smartphone with a good camera. 2 MP cameras are outdated; We believe that manufacturers should install 5 MP or at least 3.2 MP cameras in their products. In our reviews we also give extra points if the camera is equipped with a mirror and flash.
The cost of the phone should do justice to the features. When people read our reviews, they probably check the cost first. If the phone doesn’t have good features or if the features don’t work well (for example, a 5 MP camera can give poor photos), then a high price will drive potential customers away. Also, if the price is low and the features are good, we highly recommend the phone to our readers.
This may depend on the type of phone. If it has built-in GPS it should work fine, if it’s a business smartphone the messaging features should be top notch. While writing reviews, we also check if there are any games to play during free time. Finally, battery life should be good. We rarely find a phone with low battery, but we always run battery tests.
