RAM

Random Access Memory

RAM is a super-fast type of memory that stores the apps you've opened since you turned on your phone. That memory lets you return to an app you've previously used and pick up right where you left off, without delay. Here’s a quick overview of our RAM recommendations:

Processor

CPU Chip

The processor is the central hub of your smartphone. It receives and executes every command, performing billions of calculations per second. The effectiveness of the processor directly affects every application you run, whether it's the camera, the music player, or just a simple email program. Pick the wrong one and you could experience sluggish, stuttering apps and limited network performance, regardless of carrier, manufacturer, or operating system. The ability of the processor to coordinate efficient communication between all its components—the modem, graphics, and multimedia engines—is essential to smooth operation.

ROM

Read-only-Memory (Storage)

ROM (Read Only Memory) is a form of data storage. This type of memory keeps the saved data even if the device power is off. The word Read-only identifies it as "read-only memory", since the reprogramming process is generally infrequent, comparatively slow, and often does not permit random access writes to individual memory locations. It equals a hard disk in a computer, storing various of files, including videos, songs, photos, and system software, etc. At present, most smartphones are equipped with 16GB, 32GB, 64GB, or even 128GB, 256GB large ROM. But we have to pay attention that in phones the ROM is not described with ROM but with storage.

Display

All about resolution and touch response

The technology used in mobile displays in the modern day smartphones has progressed significantly. In the era of touchscreen smartphones, the display technology has become one of its primary selling points, and certainly its most unique feature There are many display/panel types used in smartphones today.

Which one is Suitable for you ?


Sensors


Ambient light sensor

Automatically adjusts the screen brightness of your device according to the amount of ambient light, making it more comfortable to look at the screen. The sensor not only supports automatic white balance (AWB) when taking photos, but also works with the proximity sensor to prevent misoperations when, for example, the device is in your pocket.

Ambient Light Sensor,

Proximity Sensor

Detects the presence of nearby objects. Equipped with a proximity sensor, your device automatically turns off the screen when it detects that it is close to your ear. This helps prevent possible misoperations.

Proximity Sensor

Gyroscope

Allows you to play somatic games with your device, move your device to switch the view in games, and navigate when GPS services are not available. The gyroscope is also used in VR activities, 3D photography, panoramic navigation, and so on. (Some models do not have this sensor.)

Gyroscope

Compass

Provides compass and map navigation functions to help locate positions more accurately. (Some models do not have this sensor.)

Compass

Gravity sensor (accelerometer)

Allows your device to automatically switch between landscape and portrait modes, count your daily steps, identify viewing orientation, use compass apps, and recognize motion gestures (such as picking up and flipping your device). For example, you can use your device's gravity sensor to control a moving ball or steer a race car in games, shake to switch songs, flip to mute ringtones, and so on.

Accelerometer

Barometer

Corrects altitude measurement errors to narrow down the deviation to about 1 meter and works with your device's GPS to find your altitude when you are under an overpass or inside a high-rise building. (Some models do not have this sensor.)

The company's claim to fame is its bid to offer flagship-level specs in its smartphones, at affordable prices. Outside of phones, OnePlus also has a limited range of other products. Its first non-smartphone product — aside from cases, chargers, and other accessories — was a set of wired headphones known as OnePlus Bullets.

Realme

Realme is an offshoot of the Chinese brand Oppo, and aims to provide smartphones under Rs. 20,000 for the "young people around the world." It is led by former Oppo Global VP Sky Li and was launched in May 2018.

Xiaomi

Xiaomi has been one of the fastest growing smartphone manufacturers in India over the past 18 months, becoming the biggest smartphone brand in the process. It managed to capture a large chunk of the market with its Redmi series by offering powerful hardware at affordable prices. While the lower end of the market welcomed Xiaomi smartphones, the higher end still preferred established brands such as Samsung and OnePlus. Premium Xiaomi phones haven't done well in India, and the Chinese manufacturer hasn't launched a flagship phone in the country since the Mi 5 (Review).

Poco

Xiaomi says that the new Poco sub-brand lets it start with a clean slate, without being burdened by the expectations that people have based on its other products. POCO understands the core elements of a great smartphone experience and focuses on providing exactly that. We think this is what users want, instead of abundant features that aren’t crucial and in fact add to costs. So POCO delivers a fluid, speedy and flagship experience at an irresistible price tag. Our devices offer the ultimate performance with no frills.

FAQ

Does Having a Better CPU Always Translate Into Better Performance?

Performance on mobile devices does not entirely depend on the CPU. While the CPU serves a very high purpose on the device, it still has to wait for other hardware to respond. If your RAM or storage is cheaply-made and doesn’t have what it takes to catch up to the CPU, you’re in for a nasty surprise. On phone and tablet specification sheets, you’ll rarely see how fast the other hardware is. They always use the CPU as a selling point, which is at the very least a bit of an annoyance for those who would like to see exactly what it is that they’re buying.

How Much RAM Does My Smartphone Really Need?

Adding more RAM is an easy way for a manufacturer to make a device look better. A bigger number must mean it's better, right? While that's generally true, finding the right amount of RAM poses a unique problem in the smartphone world. How much is "enough"? The short answer is that you should look for a baseline of at least 4GB for a phone. The long answer is a bit more complicated.

Do Massive Megapixel Counts Matter With Smartphone Cameras?

So common sense would suggest that more megapixels should be good, right? You get bigger pictures and logically, more detail. Well, not quite. The truth is that a megapixel is more a measure of size, not of quality. The only thing more megapixels can truly guarantee you is the ability to get a much larger picture. So yes, if you are looking to print billboard-sized images, then perhaps a higher megapixel count will make a difference. But just how good a picture will be in terms of quality (colour, depth, detail, contrast, dynamic range and so much more) depends on the quality of the camera’s other parts—the sensor that is fitted inside the camera, the lenses, the size of the aperture, the software processing and so on

Does fast charging affect battery life?

Unless there's some technical flaw with your battery or charger electronics, however, using a fast charger won't do your phone's battery any long-term damage. Here's why. Fast-charging batteries work in two phases. The first phase applies a blast of voltage to the empty or nearly empty battery. This gives you that blazing charge of from 50% to 70% in the first 10, 15 or 30 minutes. That's because during the first phase of charging, batteries can absorb a charge quickly without major negative effects on their long-term health. For instance, Samsung promises its 45-watt charger can go from zero to a 70% charge in half an hour. Apple says the fast charger that comes with its iPhone 11 Pro can hit a 50% charge in 30 minutes.
