Finding the perfect smartphone for your business

Three in four customers believe calls are the most effective way to contact a company, making smartphones a key business tool in all industries.

But with hundreds of models on offer, understanding which devices meet your business needs can be tricky.

Different sectors offer different services, meaning each business will have slightly different requirements when it comes to smartphones.

To make the right choice, companies should pinpoint what they need from a smartphone, and compare this with specifications from a few different models.

Speed and performance

High speed and performance enable effective overall performance and multitasking. Generally, the higher the Gigahertz (GHz) clock speed of the central processing unit (CPU), the faster the device will be. More Random Access Memory (RAM) helps to handle multiple background apps.

Enhanced battery life

The importance of enhanced battery life depends on how often you use certain apps. Frequently running apps such as WhatsApp, Gmail or Uber can drain your phone’s battery quickly. You should therefore look for a handset with a high milliampere-hour (mAh) battery, which can store a lot of energy.

Large storage capacity

For photographers and social media specialists, sufficient storage capacity is crucial. Some models come with as much as one terabyte (TB) of storage, enough to hold up to 250,000 photos, while others offer the option to expand storage further with a microSD card.

Immersive viewing experience

Designers or engineers wanting to sketch out ideas with a computer aided design (CAD) app should look for a large display size. You may also want to opt for a higher resolution, such as Full HD or 4k, for sharp text and images.

Excellent camera quality

Finally, for photographers and content creators, the device’s camera quality is key. Although we often hear about megapixels, there are also other important metrics such as aperture size to consider. Smaller sizes capture lighter images with less clarity, while larger sizes result in darker, clearer images. 

In our increasingly connected world, businesses must enhance their digital communication capabilities. Having a thorough understanding of business needs and smartphone specifications will allow companies to make an informed decision and choose the perfect device.
