In 2020, the number of mobile devices globally stood at 14.02 billion, with estimates indicating that by 2021 this is expected to increase to 14.91 billion. These devices are no longer solely for making calls or receiving SMS messages; via your smartphone, you will run most elements of your everyday life. As a consequence, understanding which smartphone is the best for you can be very difficult.

Here's a definitive checklist of items, a smartphone buying guide,  to remember before purchasing your next smartphone.

 

Memory

We recognize that phones have two forms of memory: Read Only Memory (ROM) and Random Access Memory (RAM). The ease of operation and speed of the phone is calculated by RAM along with the CPU. The storage is taken care of by the ROM. To store all your images, pictures, music, OS, applications, and more, it is used. 3 to 4 GB RAM and 64 GB ROM can serve the purpose for a heavy user like me. But for gaming and putting a lot of movies on your phone 8GB RAM and 256GB internal storage phones are out there.

 

Battery

When buying a cell phone, the battery capacity is the most significant factor. Pick a handset that has the widest set of batteries. The battery range of most smartphones is up to 2000mAH. If you select a larger-screen smartphone, it is best to know about the battery range for better mAH. When using our mobile, we usually prefer to overlap several programs. Stronger battery life is a strong suit. Go for a phone with a battery life of at least 3000mAh to last a whole day if you are a light user.

 

Camera

It can be rightfully said that a cell phone camera is gaining a lot of popularity as a consideration to be taken into account when purchasing a smartphone. High-end smartphones from corporations such as Samsung and Apple have larger lens apertures than less costly smartphones, resulting in a much higher image output. Most phones today have cameras under f/2.0 or lower aperture with a 12 MP or 16 MP sensor. Good results are provided by higher megapixels along with good pixel scale, autofocus, aperture, and ISO levels.

 

Processor

Along with RAM, the processor defines your phone's speed and ease of use. Therefore it is fair that phones with a faster processor speed are much quicker. Opt for a smoother processor for someone who spends a lot of time watching online videos or playing sports.

The newer the CPU and the faster the clock speed, the heavier the heavy-duty smartphone is. So all other factors are similar, a smartphone with a 3 GHz processor is better than one with a 2.3 GHz processor.

 

Display

The first things you note about a handset are the size and display resolution. Therefore, make sure there is a bright and vivid monitor on the smartphone you purchase so you can use it even outdoors. We would recommend that you opt for full HD displays and go for Quad-HD resolution if your budget allows. Full-HD or QHD resolution is usually sufficient enough for a typical consumer for a monitor ranging from 5.5 inches to 6 inches or more.

 

Security/Extra Features

Safety features such as fingerprint sensors, face unlock and iris sensors provide the phones with much-needed protection. Specifically, these functions serve as passwords whether you have private files, records, or programs on your devices.

 

Build Quality

Your smartphone's lifespan significantly relies on its construction efficiency. A mobile with a metal shell is more likely to survive drops of between two and three feet. The survival of a phone with a plastic body is minimal. You may also find glass-coated panels, but if you are susceptible to losing your phone sometimes it is not advisable to use those phones. Although glass-based phones can fracture, phones made from metal and plastic can withstand drops of 2 to 3 feet.

WHAT ARE BEST GAMING PHONES AVAILABLE IN NEPAL?

As more and more people are inching towards mobile games such as PUBG Mobile, Fortnite, COD Mobile, it is important to know what things in a phone make it stand out among the others and make it a worthy gaming phone. Here are the things which phone should have to give its user the best gaming experience :

Performance

This is probably the most important thing which separates a normal phone and a gaming phone. The SoC (System on Chip) is the thing that runs your games and your day to day apps. The SoC comprises CPU, GPU, and many such components. The better the SoC the better the phone will perform in the games. Having a 4GB ram is enough. Currently, the best SoC which is offered by Qualcomm is Snapdragon 865+(launched 2 months ago). Snapdragon 855 is more widely available. 

Screen

This is the thing you look the most while gaming and if it's not a good one, it'll ruin your gaming experience. A good screen comprises of 3 things:

Screen resolution: Gaming at high resolution will give you an edge over your opponent. 1080p is perfect as going beyond it will barely give you any advantage as human eyes will hardly notice a difference between 1080p and higher resolution. 

Type of screen: Having a phone with AMOLED display will enhance your gaming experience as it provides better contrast and vibrant colors compared to an LCD panel. Also, AMOLED panels are more efficient than LCD panels. Having AMOLED will also give you a better content consumption experience

Screen refresh rate: Higher refresh rate screens will provide smoother gameplay. The normal phones have a refresh rate of 60Hz. Currently, 90Hz has become common among devices and will smoothen your gameplay by a lot. But some devices even offer 120Hz which will enhance your experience even more. 

Cooling system

Gaming is a very intense and resource-heavy task for a device, which in return produces a lot of heat. Heat and electronics don't go well together. Also, a gamer holds the device for an extended period of time. So having a device that has a better cooling solution will help in performance and will also help the person holding the device. Many devices offer some sort of liquid cooling and a small number of devices even offer a fan!

Battery + Fast charging

Having a device with a large battery will significantly extend your gaming session. A device with a 5000 mAh battery is more than enough for a gaming session of about 4 hours+. A device offering fast charging will greatly reduce the time between your gaming sessions. Some devices nowadays even offer devices with 6000 mAh battery and blazing-fast 30 W charging.

Geyser/ water heaters are simply the equipment which as the name suggests function to warm up the water in your kitchen or bathrooms. Buying geysers can be quite difficult if you know the things to consider and can be quite easy if you are unaware of the importance of some features and just go after its looks. From energy consumption to space and location you choose for the geyser, every detail must be meticulously examined. Here, we present to you 9 important things one should keep in mind while buying a geyser/water heater.

Price

While buying a geyser one should not go for a device out of their budget. One should see geyser that fits them economically. As there are different kinds of geysers, you can find the best geyser with the functions that you are searching for within your budget.

Space and location

The wall or floor space should be considered while buying a geyser or a water heater. The spot to be designated must have easy connectivity to the input and outlet faucets. And, it should be easily accessible for maintenance and repairs. Moreover, make sure that the place where you keep the geyser is properly ventilated in order to avoid any kind of risk such as suffocation while using the geyser.

Size of the geyser

A geyser once bought will be used by the entire family. So, keep the size of your family and the number of people who’ll use the geyser while buying one. An oversized geyser means heating of extra water that is not required if you have a family of 3. So, choose the size of the geyser according to the necessity in the family and save electricity.

Longevity and parts availability

Buy a geyser that has a longer life and has easily available replaceable parts. Though your budget should also be considered while looking out for a durable geyser, don’t hesitate to add a few hundreds or thousands of rupees to buy the geyser that lasts relatively for a longer period. For example, a tank-less water heater’s life is of about 20 years while that of tank-type is 10 to 12 years.

Warranty

Besides the warranty of the geyser itself, don’t forget to check the warranty of the heating element and the tank while buying a geyser. Also, keep the warranty card safe.

Brand

Besides the features of a geyser, you should look after other services like after-sale service and warranties. Not every brand provides such services and not every brand is trustworthy; so, purchase a geyser from brands that are trustworthy like Bajaj, Racold, etc.

Looks

If you are a person who loves decorating their house and is a bit picky, then buy a geyser that suits your bathroom decor, style, and size. Also, A MAJOR REMINDER, don’t forget to check out the important features while going after a beautiful geyser.

Type

Instant geysers are small and occupy less wall-mounting space, also they are suitable for washing kitchen utensils, hand wash, and bathing using a bucket. Storage geysers are big and occupy more wall-mounting space; these geysers are suitable for bathing using buckets as well as using a shower. Storage geysers are cost-friendly as compared to Instant geysers. However, the instant geysers last longer than storage geysers. 

Energy consumption

A 5 star rated geyser consumes less electricity for heating water as well as has much less heat loss. Install energy-efficient star rated geyser and reduce your monthly electricity bills. Higher star-rated geysers are a little expensive to buy in the first place but they save a lot of money over a longer time period.

Buying your first motorcycle can be a thrilling experience. Whether you are buying a new bike or a second-hand bike, we will guide you on what to consider while buying your first ride. It takes passion, some patience, and a lot of research. So read this motorcycle buying guide before buying one!

Find the bike that suits you

Adjustable elements such as the seat, steering wheel, etc do not come with motorcycles. That is why you need to see what suits you and what looks right while buying a motorcycle. Remember, what feels right for one minute in the showroom might not feel good on a long trip around town.

Standard, or “naked motorcycles” are great beginner motorcycles because the rider is in an upright position without having to lean and reach too far forward so naked bikes are a bit better for beginners than a sports bike.

Research, Research, Research

Whatever bike you want to purchase, make sure you read what you can about the manufacturer, the model, and when and how you can service it and if possible, get parts in the future. Basically, after all, you are going to be the owner, and this is not a minor investment, you should make an effort to know more about your bike inside and out.

Power is not everything

Why should I buy a 250cc bike instead of 600cc?

The answer is 600cc bike has more power and you cannot control the power if you are a beginner. Start from a humble beginning, Even experienced riders have problems with 600cc bikes.

You should start from 200cc above bikes, Many manufacturers are even specifically designing bikes in this class for new riders like yourself. Our advice: start with something smaller and trade up for something bigger later on.

Bike weight

You should also worry about the weight after you settle on the kind of bike you want. Usually, the weight of the bike goes up with displacement, but that is not the case with all motorcycles, since some cruisers weigh a lot for a more moderate displacement. It is more convenient and simple to ride a lightweight motorcycle, and you can also ride it at much higher and quicker speeds which is fun. So the lighter your bike weights, the more fun you get while riding it.

Think for long term

Another tip that we can give you is to think about the long term, buy the beast you dreamed of, the kind that can go on the city and long trips with ease. Always go for what makes you happy but let your brain decide what’s best for you and if you're buying it for day-to-day functioning, go for things like high mileage, lightweight, low servicing cost, affordable, and the one best for you. Do not settle for cheaper motorcycles as you're going to need them for a long time and compromise is not a factor!
