How to choose the Best Smartphones under 35000 rupees
To give an overview, I have listed some of the key factors you should consider before buying smartphones under 35000 rupees in India.
- Display: The display is one of the most important aspects of a smartphone, and it can make or break your purchasing decision. It’s what sets apart an affordable smartphone from a premium smartphone. Most of the phones under 35000 are now offering a Good AMOLED Display with a high refresh rate. Before purchasing Smartphone under 35000 make sure that it has Good Quality AMOLED display with a high refresh rate.
- Performance: We use Smartphones for everything from entertainment to business, and we rely on them more than ever before. This also means that the way we use these devices has changed significantly during the past few years. This is one of the reasons why smartphone performance is an important topic to cover today. Thankfully most Smartphones under 35000 offer incredible performance thanks to good processing speeds. In detail, make sure that your smartphone has a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8XX processor to match register performance.
- Fast charging: The charging speed of your smartphone is very important, especially when you’re in the middle of the workday and need a quick recharge. Today, Fast charging isn’t just found on high-end devices. Many mid-range and entry-level smartphones also feature fast charging. With the latest tech, you can plugin in the charger for five and use it for hours. So, make sure that your Smartphone has fast charging tech that is super useful today.
- Cameras: Smartphone cameras are far better than they used to be. In fact, it’s hard to believe just how much they’ve improved over the past decade. Back in the day, a decent camera meant a bulky, expensive device. These days, cameras are a standard part of almost every phone — and they’re very good. More than that, they’re remarkably affordable too.
- Smartphones under 35000 are good enough to capture really good shots. They are decent enough for a normal user to enjoy while shooting.
- 5G: The next generation of wireless connectivity is just around the corner. The 5th generation of mobile technologies – 5G – is on its way. It is supposed to provide much higher speeds, lower latency, and wider coverage. Although 5G isn’t available in India as of now, It should be here sometime soon. People are really confused about which one should they buy, 5G or 4G. According to the latest reports, 5G is going to arrive in India in less than 2 years. So, if you don’t want to upgrade your smartphone in the coming 2 years, Make sure that the smartphone you are going to buy is having 5G support.
