A lot of time has passed since the appearance of the first smartphone. Technology is improving, offering users more and more functions and features. Today, you can use your smartphone not only to make calls but also to perform many other useful actions: to take pictures and shoot videos, watch movies, communicate on social networks, and play regular and gambling games on sites such as Betway casino and many others. Many even work from a smartphone while away from a desktop PC.

Every year, well-known manufacturers launch their new developments, presenting smartphone models as the next technical achievement. Global brands such as Apple, Samsung, Nokia, Xiaomi compete in technology, aesthetics, and functionality of their products. You can learn a lot about the Chinese developer at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xiaomi.  

Sophisticated audiences demand more and more advanced devices, and some of the richest people in the world prefer an exclusive version, which no one else will have.

What are the Criteria for Evaluating a Smartphone

There are a lot of models on the market of mobile gadgets today, the price of which can significantly vary. Budget versions starting at $100, as well as elite phones worth several thousand dollars are available to customers. What are the indicators that determine the cost of the device? There are several basic parameters that are worth considering.

Brand

It has a strong influence on the pricing of the device. Little-known, but no less powerful devices cost much less than promoted brands with a similar set of specifications

Technical parameters

The more powerful the components, the higher the price. New developments integrated into the system have a higher price tag, which ultimately affects the final cost

Exterior design

Even the most powerful device will not become popular if it does not have an attractive appearance. A stylish design that meets the needs of the modern consumer will cost more because a lot of money is invested in the development of the design

Extra options

Modern smartphones are equipped with a lot of additional functions. Now it is not just a device for making calls, but a media center, a camera, a meter, a wallet in one package. Each sensor built into the phone increases its value
