Black Friday and starting pre-Christmas promotions can be a good opportunity to hunt down a smartphone at an attractive price. Alas, choosing an efficient device that does not turn into a “brick” after a few months of use is not an easy task.
Faced with rising electronics prices and galloping inflation, can you still buy a smartphone for around PLN 1,000 that will serve us for at least 2-3 years? Yes, but before making a purchase decision, it is worth paying attention to several key factors.
Smartphones up to PLN 1,000. What to look for?
Screen – in the budget up to PLN 1,000, we are looking for a smartphone with IPS screen with FullHD+ resolution, although in some devices of this shelf you can already find a lot better AMOLED displays. When it comes to screen refresh rate, it’s hard to count on anything more than 60Hzhowever, there are pleasant surprises that have made it to our list as well.
Processor – we are looking for mid-range Snapdragon system (e.g. 860 or 690), which will give us decent performance. The chips can also be a good alternative to Snapdragons MediaTekwhich usually offer an excellent relationship between performance and final price of the device.
When it comes to RAM, the rule is simple: the more, the better. For smartphones with Android 4GB is the absolute minimumbut worth aiming for 6GB. We will pay attention to the speed of the RAM and the amount of internal memory (128GB seems to be the optimal solution).
apparatus – Manufacturers are increasingly flooding us with cameras with 3 or even 4 lenses. He points out that the number of “links” does not necessarily translate into the quality of the photos. It plays a key role main lens and used in it matrix. So let’s focus on quality, not quantity.
Battery – We are looking for a smartphone with a battery capacity 4000–5000 mAh. At the same time, it is worth noting that the battery pack is uneven. Therefore, before deciding to buy, it is worth looking at the tests to see how the battery behaves in practice. We look for smartphones with the feature fast charging And recharge wireless – these are extremely useful “extras”.
A good mid-range smartphone should also have a module NFC connector Dual SIMand also – at least in part – waterproof. Support for 5G networks will be a nice addition, but it shouldn’t be the deciding factor. The 5G adaptation in Poland is still quite slow.
We also pay attention to the quality of the device itself. Although this shelf is dominated by plastic smartphones, you can also find pearls with a glass back or with an aluminum frame that strengthens the whole structure.
