Get To Know Your Smartphone 7

Lesson 7 = Camera

We all purchase smartphones for the following reasons: gaming, browsing, photography and versatility. From experience i can tell that everyone needs a phone with an average camera.
Just a few years back a 3.2mp camera phone was a state of the art photographing device, fast forward a years to 2013/2014, big megapixels are the order of the day.

It is noteworthy to point out that megapixels aint all there is to a good camera phone, for example; 5 mp camera on a Lenovo or Blackberry device will kill an 8mp camera on most Tecnos and Infinixes; in the same vein, an 8mp camera on an Apple or Oppo or Xiaomi product will totally bury 13 and 14mp cameras found on almost any phone in the market today. I would also accord honor to whom it is due, the 4mp Ultrapixel camera found on HTC's current flagship phone One, is breathtakingly good.

CHECKLIST
Cameras with good performance at low light conditions are the best. Before purchasing a smartphone, make sure the aperture of the lens is small, the smaller the aperture, the better the picture.
Check the recording definitions of the camera before purchasing. For example, the 5mp camera on the N28, 000 ZTE V967S can do 1080p whereas most N30 to N35k 8mp phones can only manage 720p.

Below are some phones with exceptionally good cameras.
* Oppo N1 @ N89, 000
* Xiaomi Redmi @ N40, 000
* Zopo ZP820 @ N30, 000
* Gionee Elife E7 @ N80, 000
* Inew V3 @ N40, 000
* Lenovo A850 @ N33, 000
* Huawei Honor 3C @ N45, 000

Lesson 4 = Durability

Durability is a very serious deciding factor as to whether a brand is to be bought or not. Unfortunately, due to greed of our own sellers Chinese branded phones have always been tagged poor, cheap and fake. The irony in this is that the world's largest phone company makes phones that are generally known to be problematic. I have heard numerous complaints from user of 4 month old Galaxy phones bought at over N90,000. Nobody will consciously shell out large sums on a product with reliability problem. The most durable phones on earth are the iphones, however that doesn't mean its hopeless for the average man who needs a N20k or N30k product with strong reliability / durability records.

China's Largest Phone Makers
1: Huawei
2: ZTE
3: Lenovo
4: Coolpad

Most Reliable Chinese brands in no particular order
*Meizu
*Oppo
*THL
*Xiaomi
*Zopo
*ZTE
*Neo
*Lenovo (new owners of Motorola)
*TCL (Alcatel)

If am to give my personal opinion, a Xiaomi, Oppo or Meizu can rival any IPhone because these brands have legendary quality and durability.

So, the next time you ask somebody "what phone is that?'' And he says, "Gionee Elife E7" and you then say "hmmm, china" make sure you are using at least a Nexus 5 or Xperia Z1 else, you may have to eat your words. Bold 5, Lumia 720 and the likes don't stand a chance in hell.

Lesson 1 = Name

There exist the thought that a widely known name translates a premiere brand. Is such a notion justifiable? Does your not knowing the name of a marque means it makes substandard products? Does the fact that Samsung is a widely known and used product mean its got better durability than a ZTE or Lenovo product? Absolutely FALSE.
When you intend buying a product you know nothing about do not quickly dismiss it, not until you have googled and binged about the company and the product in question.
Now for those who feel Tecno is a top chinese brand. Well, think again. Below is a list of the top 6 chinese smartphone makers in no particular order.
1. Huawei
2. Lenovo
3. ZTE
4. Coolpad (Yulong)
5. Xiaomi
6. Oppo

Now just so you know before mentioning Tecno you must first mention, Gionee, THL, Zopo, Vivo and Meizu.
How many of the above mentioned brands do you know of? Yet they are all alot more innovative, bigger and classier than Tecno. Doubt me? Google this... Vivo Xplay 3S (The worlds 1st 2560x1440pixel phone), Gionee Elife E7, Meizu MX3, Oppo N1 (most innovative phone design of 2013) yes thats right ahead of Apple Iphone 5s.
