Finding the right phone can be difficult. From understanding the words used to describe features of the phone like microns and RAM to being eager not to waste money on disappointment, it can be a task to find the perfect one. To try and make this easier, here's a list of things to look out for and a few good suggestions.

Buying Tips

• If you're addicted to apps and like your software updated frequently it's a good idea to choose an iPhone.
• Alternatively, if you want more options for hardware and design, and want more control as a user then Android phones are for you.
• If you simply enjoy to read on your phone and talk with people and other things that can only take one hand, try a phone with a 5 inch screen or smaller.
• If you're a video junkie and love your app games, then a phone bigger than that is a good idea.
• Now here for the complicated part, cameras. If you want to make sure you can take the best selfie and holiday pics, then the more microns the better and the smaller number for aperature the better the camera will be. Megapixels can be ignored.
• To make sure that your phone will run fast, be sure that it has either Snapdragon 820 or 821 and 4GB of RAM if you're going to be using it for demanding things.
• For iPhone users, the A9 or A10 chip in the iPhone 6 or 6 plus will work just as speedily.

Smartphones

Considering the tips above, these phones are either trending due to their popularity or are generally seen as worth purchasing. Each of them have different advantages and disadvantages which can be compared against other phones in order to find the right one for you.

Google Pixel

The Google Pixel is a phone that has been most anticipated by people. It has an attractive design and a fast performance making it desirable instantly. It, of course, has unique Google features that other phones do not possess and has a long battery life making it a good choice for those constantly away from their chargers. It also has a good quality camera which is the most important feature of a smartphone.

The Google Pixel does come with some disadvantages, however. Unlike many smartphones these days, it is not water resistant meaning that you're in trouble if you drop it in the bath. It's also quite expensive. The Google Assistance on the phone is not perfect yet and the back glass of the phone is prone to scratches making it unsightly.

Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge

The Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge is for those who want the most striking phone available. It has a curved screen making it quite unique. Along with this attractive design it also has solid performance and a good camera for all the pictures taken throughout the day. Unlike the Google Pixel, the phone is waterproof and so you'll have peace of mind in a rainy day.

Its drawbacks are the pre-installed software that doesn't add much to the phone. The back glass, like the Google Pixel, can leave fingerprints and impressions which can be frustrating. The only model available is the 32GB and so users are limited. The edge screen software is also not as helpful as Samsung possibly intended.

Oneplus 3T

The OnePlus 3T is good if you're looking for a promising smartphone for good value. This phone won't break the bank for what it is offering. It has very responsive software which is pleasing for any user and a long battery life so it won't die on you. It also has a strong rear camera, not as helpful for selfies but will produce a fantastic image to remember a moment by.

Its weaknesses are the low screen brightness which may have you struggling to see certain details in different lights. The lack of waterproofing, much like the Google Pixel. And finally the questionable frequency of which the software is updated.

Whatever phone you choose to purchase, ensure that you have checked out the quality of the camera, the speed of which it's predicted to run, the size and it's storage space. Make sure to find the phone for you.
