Are you one of those who think it's nonsense to leave you half a salary (or the whole salary) in a Android mobile? You are probably not entirely wrong. For the use that we give most of the users, with a mid-range smartphone or even low, it will be more than enough.
But for its use to be productive, there are a series of minimum benefits that we must require our future smartphone to have. It's like demanding that our new car has power steering and power windows, what less?
What you should demand from a low cost smartphone
Quad Core Processor
Most of the mid-range smartphones that we can find today come with an octa core processor, which is undoubtedly ideal. But if we don't want to face constant lags and crashes of our apps, quad core It is the least we can demand of our Android mobile.
HD display
The latest generation smartphones that we find today, usually come with a screen Full HD or Quad HD, which is undoubtedly ideal for viewing photos and videos or to fully enjoy the games on google play. But if this is out of our budget, the minimum for quality to be reasonable is HD, 1260 × 720 pixels. A lower resolution will be too low to enjoy our content.
SD card slot
The usual thing is that if we opt for a low-end smartphone, let's not have too much internal memory. And most of us love taking photos and recording videos with our mobiles, and if this is not the case, we will surely receive them constantly on WhatsApp. Therefore, having a slot for SD card that allows us to store things there, is almost essential.
Crystal Gorilla Glass
La screen glass breakage, is one of the big problems that we face in all Android devices. And although we can find tempered glass and plastic screen protectors on the market, the ideal is that we have a quality one with a Gorilla Glass at least version 2 or 3, but the latest generation.
Android 6.0 Marshamallow
It is true that there are still many smartphones with Android Lollipop in use that work perfectly. But Android 6.0 Marshmallow It is taking over a large part of the Android park and reaching low-end terminals, and it has many new features that may be interesting to optimize resources.
