Choosing Your Network-Locked Cellular Phone
With improvements in technology, cellular phones have become increasingly useful for a whole lot more than just texting and calling. What started as a basic device now functions in various ways. Apple and other brands provide varying choices, and some models may offer more features. With carriers like US Cellular, you have a number of premium options, including the iPhone 6 Plus.
What Are Essential Cellular Phone Features?
- Screen Resolution. Good screen resolution lets you read what's on your screen indoors and outdoors. This adjusts to the brightness of the surrounding. For options, you may check HD Retina Display devices like the iPhone 6, its iPhone 6 Plus variant, and other High Definition (HD) mobile phones.
- GB Storage. Sufficient GB of memory for photos, videos, music, and phone apps is a consideration. Determine how much GB of storage you need and decide among compatible models. Prepaid units like the Apple iPhone 6 or 6 Plus offer 16 GB, 128 GB, and 256 GB variants.
- Battery Life. Consider your power requirements in making a choice. Check devices for stats like video playback, talk time, and data usage, as these give you some idea whether the smartphone battery drains easily or not. iOS running iPhone units declare these stats at 14 hours, 24 hours, and 12 hours, respectively.
How Do You Choose a Cellular Phone?
- Coverage. Plan the line or prepaid carrier you will be connecting to. Understand what coverage fares better in your area of work or residence. Find network connected devices like those from US Cellular for plan perks.
- Size and Color. Consider the comfort of handling your smartphone. Do you want an "easy to grip" and "easy to put in your pocket" smartphone? Consider the main function of your smartphone. Do you plan to use it for gaming, video playback, and eBook reading? Choose a size that meets these preferences. As for colors, classic offerings like the iOS running iPhone Plus come in space gray, black, and silver.
- Camera Specs. Consider if image and video quality is a priority for you. If you often use your mobile phone for documenting transactions, trips, social events, and the like, you may consider high pixel cameras with equally good front-facing and rear-facing camera MPs.
