If you’re paying a premium for a smartphone, ensure that you also get mainstream premium AMOLED panels with high resolution, high DPI, and high refresh rate so you can expect a premium movie-watching, gaming, and content-consumption experience. 
  • A fast processor coupled with plenty of RAM: Latest powerful and energy-efficient processors from Qualcomm and MediaTek mean the smartphone has sufficient horsepower to drive day-to-day tasks and provide battery juice when needed without overheating. Qualcomm Snapdragon 4 Gen 1 is the latest in budget offerings, and Qualcomm Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 is the latest in a series of powerful midrange processors. While the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 is the latest flagship chipset from Qualcomm and the MediaTek Dimensity 9200 is the latest powerful flagship chipset from MediaTek. MediaTek’s Helio gaming budget and midrange series of processors are also excellent choices when it comes to achieving powerful performance in daily tasks and gaming. Similarly, A large amount of RAM helps processors offer smooth multitasking and gaming performance.

Pro Tips

  • Always ensure high pixel density of the display (PPI): PPI or pixel-per-inch is the measure of how many pixels a smartphone display includes per inch of the area. The higher this number is, the clearer the image renders. So, ensure high pixel density in smartphone displays to avoid jagged images. This is even more important in budget smartphones — as manufacturers tend to cram in bigger displays in smartphones while keeping the resolution of the display comparatively lower. This makes the images render with jagged edges — which is not the experience you would want to have.
  • Full-day battery life and fast charging capability: Ensure that the smartphone lasts the entire working day on a single full charge and supports fast charging for quick juice-up times.
