Mobiles are now a part of your life for sure. No doubt. And just as you don’t leave home without your wallet or handkerchief, leaving home without your mobile phone may also be something you would never do. That’s the case with me!
And because mobile phone is a constant companion, it is important to choose one that can actually handle its 24×7 duties. Do you know about the best mobile phone for everyday use? If you do not have a clue, you should definitely keep reading this.
The thing about as phone for everyday use is that it will travel with you wherever you go, and thus stay with you for immediate assistance. So, if a sudden shower while you are walking on road, is enough to make your phone go kaput, you are probably carrying the wrong handset. This is because the weather in India can be extreme; intense heat followed by rain without notice. So any phone for everyday use must be an all weather phone.
Next up, you should consider the ruggedness of the mobile phone. Assuming that you use public transport where people are jostling for space, your mobile may come under direct threat of falling from your hand due. Even if you have your own vehicle, you cannot guarantee that the phone will never slip out of your hands, whether at home, office or on the road. If your phone dies a sudden death after a four-foot fall, it is certainly not fit enough for everyday use.
The best mobiles are created in such a way that even they fall from a height their outer shell protects their inner components such as the microchips and the LCD screen.
Nokia phones can be great options, at least in India, if you consider durability because, they are known to survive falls from great heights with just a scratch or two.
Even Samsung is now out with ‘ultra-tough’ phones which can be dipped in water without fear of permanent damage!
Then there are some features which must be present in any phone meant for everyday use.
- Long battery life: If you are out of home for majority of the day, or have to travel a lot as a part of your job, you need a phone which can retain charge for long. If you are constantly on the move, it may be very difficult for you to recharge the battery time and again.
- Weight, size and shape: Any phone which you carry on your person throughout the day should be light weight and preferably small in size. The shape is also a factor because a clumsy design may not fit snugly in your trouser pocket or purse. Make sure that you are able to grip the phone firmly in your palm so that there is lesser risk of it slipping out of your hands.
- Price tag: A regular use phone should not be too costly, so that if any mishap occurs and the phone is damaged, you do not lose a major sum of money.
