A mobile phone is no longer just another accessory as you know. It is an integral part of Indian lifestyle and almost everyone seems to have a mobile phone these days.
And its useful because it helps you stay in touch with family and friends, all day long! :) Throw in a few features and it can easily be a great source of entertainment as well. Take pictures, record videos and listen to music, the possibilities are endless! This is why selecting a phone carefully (with amazing features such as of China Mobiles), is very important, so that you get what you are looking for.
Selecting the best mobile phone involves two critical questions:
- What are the features you are looking for and
- How much are you willing to pay for them?
The second question will perhaps be the ultimate decision making criteria because no matter how much you want phones out of your budget, you will simply not be able to stump up the cash.
Depending on their prices, all phones in India can be classified as:
- Economy phones, priced under INR 2000.
- Low priced phones, which cost under INR 5000.
- Mid-range multimedia phones, which cost under INR 10000.
- Business phones which cost under INR 25000.
- Exclusive and limited edition phones, for which is their no upper price ceiling. Need a lot of green cash here.
If you are looking for a phone just to communicate and text, then there are quite a few options for you under INR 2000. These phones have a basic color display (black and white for some models) and also few or no added features.
And Unlike high-end phones their battery consumption is much less and so you don’t have to recharge the batteries too frequently. Here you do not have much choice because these almost all phones in this category are of similar build and style. Decide if you are going to use your cell phone for phone calling and texting purpose, or as a entertainment media device.
For me, any phone with basic features works the best! I don’t particularly love playing with my phone all the time. But that’s just me. So, then if you are looking for a better phone which will have added features too, you need to increase your budget substantially.
The factors to consider while purchasing any mobile not belonging to the ‘super-cheap’ category are:
- The physical appearance of the phone. There are various forms of phones such as clamshell, slider etc. You may not be comfortable with each and every one of them, and neither will all of them have equal appeal for you. Generally sliders are the costliest.
- The amount of features and effective they are. For example a VGA camera is almost no good and so it’s wiser to go for at a 2.0 megapixel camera in your phone, if you wish to take photos too.
Keep these tips and mind and you will be able to select the best mobile phones under a budget. And always do a random price check of the mobile phone to avoid spending additional money! Take your time and buy the one which suits your need!
