All users who want to take advantage of Black Friday to change their smartphone must take five elements into account.
These five points can be crucial to respond in the most appropriate way to everyday needs. But be careful, the budget should always be defined beforehand and only then should we analyze each of the following five elements.
1. Battery and fast charging support

One of the first elements to take into account when changing smartphones is battery life and support for fast charging. Currently, the mobile terminal is an additional working tool for each one of us, but also an entertainment platform and a connection to the Web world.
All these things drain the battery, not only because they put heavy work on the processor, but also because of the energy demands of the screen. Therefore, it should have a good capacity, between 4,500 and 5,000 mAh. Of course, the Android universe has many models equipped with batteries of this capacity, so there’s no shortage of options.
On the other hand, support for fast charging is also important, especially for users who are frequently on the move. Anything from 67 watts already ensures a reasonably fast charge that allows you to “feed” the battery at a sufficient percentage for a few more hours of use.
Of course, 120-watt fast charging stands that allow you to fully charge the battery in 15 minutes are ideal. But something that allows 50% to 60% of the battery charged in 17 minutes is reasonable and easier to find in models with more affordable prices.
2. Screen refresh rate
Another of the specifications to take into account is the refresh rate of the screens. Currently, the premium segment has smartphones with refresh rates of 120 Hz and above, and the mid-range segment has screens that refresh at 60, 90 and 120 Hz.
It makes no sense to purchase a terminal with a refresh rate of less than 90 Hz. This is if the user wants to have a fluid and fast browsing experience when updating content.
It is recommended that the screen of the new smartphone refreshes at 90 or 120 Hz. Of course, if the purchase budget is generous, it is possible to see models with refresh rates above 120 Hz which obviously provide significantly better screen fluidity.
3. Storage
Currently, the high quality of smartphone cameras provide images and videos with a considerable size. On the other hand, everything we receive from our contacts on chat platforms also takes up considerable space in the internal memory.
To make sure you’re not always deleting things from your smartphone, opt for a 256 GB internal storage capacity. In principle, this will be enough capacity to make a longer interval between “cleaning” of images and installed applications.
4. Software Updates
When choosing a new smartphone, it is also recommended to see how many years of operating system and security updates each brand offers. This is a crucial element that dictates the lifetime of each terminal.
Remember that Samsung offers four years of operating system and interface updates and five years of security upgrades. Xiaomi, on the other hand, provides two major operating system updates and three years with regard to security.
5. Chamber
Smartphones are replacing compact cameras when it comes to capturing the best moments to remember later. For that reason, you might want to pay some attention to the optical specs.
The chosen model must have a primary sensor and an ultra wide angle sensor with good resolutions and a good focal aperture, so that they provide images with good quality. Of course, models with a telephoto sensor, especially those that include an optical zoom, are better.
It should also be taken into account whether the smartphone has software that improves its optical capabilities. This is always a welcome specification.
Of course, selfie fans should also take into account the resolution of the front sensor to get the best possible results.
And these are the five crucial elements when buying a new smartphone. As for the budget, only you can define it.
