Things to look for while buying
Display size
If you often stream videos, edit photos or videos, or download and view movies, then a smartphone display ranging from 5.5-inch to 6-inch, full-HD or QHD resolution should be good enough for you.
If you are going above 6-inch then handset might get bulty, making it difficult to carry around. But if you are comfortable with a large display and prefer a big display for checking emails and browsing social media then 6-inch display is ideal for you.
Build quality
Usually, the handsets are made of metal and plastic. There are even some phones that have glass-coated panels, but those are very limited. If you are one of those prone to dropping your smartphone, it's advisable to go for a metal or a plastic built handset.
Chipset
If you are a heavy user who needs to edit images, play heavy games, stream videos or often uses apps in split-screen mode, then smartphones with Qualcomm Snapdragon 652 or Snapdragon 820/821 are worth considering. If you are a light user then you can go for MediaTek processors.
Camera
Remember, having a higher number of megapixels is not enough. Several other specifications such as camera aperture, ISO levels, pixel size, autofocus and more are essential.
The higher number of pixels means that the size of the image is bigger, which becomes sharper when seen on a small screen. If you are a photographer enthusiast then go for a 12 or 16MP sensor which shoots well in low lights. If you are a casual shooter then you can go with an 8MP or 12MP camera.
Battery
The battery usage differs from user to user depending on how they use the smartphones. If you are a heavy user and, play games, stream videos and more then go for a smartphone with at least a 3500mAh battery or above. If you are an average or light user, a handset with a 3000mAh battery would be good enough for a day.
