3. The price compare to the quality. There is one common thing about us, we see price range in everything. We believe that $100 smart phone can be better than $70 smart phone. This is not true about smart phones. Some smart phones quality are not determined by price. So, is important that you ask expect before picking a smartphone. A phone that sold $500 at launching centre remains same quality even when the price drop to $200. Quality is better than quantity because a quality phone will last longer.

4. The specification (special features). Some people are addicted to smart phone. So what are the special feature you like about phone. Me I love quality LCD so I go for samsung. The special feature you like will make you go for special thing. I love BlackBerry because the battery last longer when you are on hotspot. So what do you like about phones?
