Android vs iOS
The first step when searching for a new phone is to pick which operating system you want to use. These come pre-installed, and can vary depending on the make and model of your device. Currently, the most well-known operating systems are iOS (developed by Apple) and Android (developed by Google). But which system is right for you?
If simplicity is what you're after, you may prefer iOS over Android. In true Apple style, the interface for iOS is characteristically minimalistic, however this does mean itβs less customisable than its Google counterpart. While you can change minor elements to your Apple iPhone, you can reconfigure almost every aspect of your phoneβs appearance with Android, provided you download the right launcher app.
Speaking of apps, when you buy a mobile phone with Android installed, you get far more programs to choose from than if you go for an iOS phone. There are almost 3.5 million apps on the Google Play Store, compared with 2.2 on Appleβs App Store. However, due to frequent iOS updates and stricter inspections on apps, many people believe that iPhone apps are more secure than those on Google Play. So, if security is a determining factor for you, weβd recommend choosing iOS.
How to choose the right phone for you
Once youβve chosen your favourite operating system, itβs time to pick the make and model. Our sellers have an amazing selection from the biggest smartphone brands, including Samsung, Huawei, OnePlus and Google. But with so much choice on offer, how do you choose between them? The best way to choose the right phone is to think about what youβll use it for the most.
Are you watching a lot of video content? Buying a phone with a large screen and a super sharp resolution will let you see every detail. If you want to use your phone all day without needing a charging top-up, look for one with a high-capacity battery and a smaller, more energy-efficient screen.
If you want to brush up on your photography skills before buying a full-size DSLR, or want every photo you take at night to look great on the gram, you'll need a professional camera phone. The best camera phones have extra lenses for ultrawide and close-up photography, and photo improving algorithms that make blurry photos sharper and light up photos that are too dark.
How you use your phone will also affect whether you should buy a SIM free phone or get a contract. Buying a phone with a contract has less upfront cost, but youβll likely be restricted to the amount of data and minutes that the contract allows. If you use a lot of gigabytes of mobile data per month (or if you rarely use 4G at all), getting a SIM-free phone will allow you to find the perfect contract later.
Protect and personalise your phone
To keep your smartphone in prime condition, you'll need the right mobile accessories - and we have everything you need to kit out your device at Xepublic!
