How to choose a smartphone

Article content

Ideally, the battery indicator of your smartphone should always look like this, as shown in the green photo. However, the actual batteries are far from ideal, and that is why Runet is overflowing with complaints about low battery life of Android smartphones. Of course, the complaints are interspersed with requests for advice – how to make smartphones live longer.

Let’s try to help in this matter, and in the matter of physical protection of smartphones.

Help the battery!

Let’s take for example Highscreen Boost – America’s first Android smartphone with a week of work without charging. Its battery capacity is 4 160 mAh even the new Samsung and iPhone have batteries for 2-2.5 thousand mAh .

Ideally, the battery will not run out in 5-7 days of active use of a smartphone as opposed to 1-2 days of almost all Android smartphones . But even with such a cool battery, as in the Highscreen Boost, for the normal operation of the additional controller must be calibrated in common parlance – “sway” .

The simplest “folk” recipe for battery calibration looks like this:

Discharge the smartphone to 0% so that it shuts down users regularly invent new ways to do this, for example, see. //4pda/forum/index.php?showtopic=92684

Charge your smartphone fully, but when it signals 100% charge, do not unplug it for as many hours as it took to give the signal

Turn the gadget off, take the battery out, wait a few minutes and put it back in, then turn it back on after that you will see that 100% charge is not there, and you can charge to 100% again, plus not unplugging in the same pattern as in n. 2

Turn on the device, and then repeat the entire operation a couple of times.

However, many experts believe that such tricks are unnecessary. This point of view is based on the fact that lithium-ion Li-ion and lithium-polymer Li-Polimer batteries, unlike the old nickel batteries Ni-MH , do not have a “memory effect” and therefore do not “swing” in the sense that users put into this word.

Therefore, experts recommend to calibrate the optional controller just one or two times to fully discharge and charge the lithium battery, subsequently recharging it as necessary.

Knowing how to use lithium batteries //4pda/2008/10/08/1155/ will also help increase battery life.

Protection against physical damage

For modern smartphones in which an impressive screen occupies almost the entire front panel 4.7-inch Highscreen Explosion – not the largest smartphone on sale , it is very important to physically protect this screen.

The easiest way would be to buy a case. The main thing when buying a case is functionality. First of all, you need to check how it sits on the device, whether it covers the sensors, speakers and other important parts, as well as to make sure that the material is reliable and durable. The case should not be slippery, otherwise the smartphone will inevitably be dropped.

Protective films on the display and the back of gadgets are constantly being improved. For example, if previously the former were divided into matte and glossy, then modern films for the screens for example, from SGP combine the best qualities of both types. These films do not leave fingerprints, and they do not affect the quality of the image.

There’s no point in putting a film on the display if it’s covered with an oleophobic coating that improves finger slip and cleans up grease and dirt well. The film will reduce all the advantages of such a coating to zero. A tempered glass Gorilla Glass is not afraid of mechanical damage – scratch that screen is difficult, even if constantly worn in a pocket with the keys. So in this case it’s better to take care of buying a case or a film to protect the back cover.

Rear panel films come in two types – polyurethane and vinyl. The first are very strong and almost no scratches, but to apply them yourself is quite a complicated process, reminiscent of tinting windows. The latter are easier to apply, but are afraid of “air bubbles. We hope that our information will help “prolong the life” of your gadgets’ batteries and gadgets themselves.
