Display: A cell phone display between 5.5 and 6 inches with full high-definition resolution is usually adequate for users who frequently stream or download movies to watch. Some cell phones have screens larger than 6 inches. For example, the iPhone 14 Pro Max has a 6.7-inch display, which may be ideal for some, but others may find that size cumbersome to carry around. You might consider visiting a store where you can try holding different phones to see what is comfortable for you.

Battery life: Most cell phones batteries have capacity ranging from 700mAh to 5,000mAh. For people who use their phones often, you will likely want a cell phone with a high battery capacity. For example, the iPhone 14 Pro Max has a 4,323mAh battery.

Storage: The pre-installed programs and operating system that come pre-installed on a smartphone may take up a significant amount of a cell phone’s storage capacity. If you use your cell phone to take a lot of video or high-resolution photos, you might choose the highest storage capacity. For example, the iPhone 14 Pro Max offers four different storage capacity options: 128GB, 256GB, 512GB and 1024GB. Price varies by storage capacity.

You may also wish to choose a phone with a slot for a Micro-SD or TF storage card. Extra storage card capabilities on a smartphone mean that the phone has expandable, swappable memory.

Security: Fingerprint sensors and facial recognition features make unlocking your smartphone easy, making security a more seamless experience. For example, with the iPhone 14 Pro Max Face ID sensor, the phone is automatically unlocked when you pick it up bring it in front of your face.

Build: Smartphones often have extra durability features in case they get dropped, such as having specially formulated glass for the screen that does not shatter. If you regularly drop phones, you may wish to get a phone with enhanced glass, such as the Samsung Galaxy S23 Plus, which has Victus^® 2 Gorilla^® Glass.

Processor: Most smartphones have a processor clocked at 1.3GHz to 3GHz and between 2 to 8 processor cores. If you want a faster smartphone, you should pick one with a faster processor speed. For example, the Samsung Galaxy S23 Plus houses a Qualcomm^® Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 with up to 3.36 GHz of processing speed and 8 processor cores.

Camera: Smartphone cameras typically range from 8MP to over 24MP and have a sensor size of about ƒ/2.5 (one centimeter across). If you want to take the best pictures with your smartphone, you will want a primary camera with as many megapixels and as large of a sensor as possible. For example, the Google Pixel 7a has a 64MP camera with a ƒ/1.89 aperture sensor.

Price: Retail prices for smartphones typically range from $200 to $1980. Make sure you check for cell phone deals before you make your final decision.
