Choosing a Smartphone for Your Business
Choosing Your Phone
If you’re going to go with Apple, the older iPhone 4S might be a savvier business choice. The iPhone 5 has been plagued with bugs since its creation, especially where its maps function is concerned. Mapping may play a crucial role for you if you plan to use your smartphone as a GPS or need to use geolocation services. The iPhone 5S is expected to fix these problems, but it’s a long way off and might be out of your price range.
Android buyers have the pick of several dozen options. While nothing can substitute for your own instincts at the phone store, here are some notes that you might want to keep in mind:
For the best Android phone money can buy, go with the Samsung Galaxy S4. It’s ideal if you plan on using multiple apps at once, storing lots of data, streaming video and using your camera.
For the phone with the most reliability, try the Google Nexus 4. It was designed by Google and runs the Android software as it was meant to operate — smooth, affordable and low-key.
For the most durable phone that still offers high-performance speed and app capabilities, go with the Motorola Droid Razr MAXX. It’s got a long battery life and can take a beating, making it perfect for business owners in construction, shipping or other rugged industries.
The future of smartphones
Hispanic business professionals know that smartphones are a rapidly growing industry. Just five years ago, smartphones were only barely getting market penetration for business owners. Now, it’s almost unheard of for an entrepreneur not to have one. The smartphones of the future will be faster, smoother and be able to run more apps. They will have longer-lasting batteries and be less expensive and more reliable.
In the future, expect to see Apple phones become more of a specialty item used by people in tech and design industries. Android phones will become the dominant product for small business owners. For business owners seeking the quality of the Android system at a more affordable price, Chinese manufacturers such as Huawei, Lenovo and ZTE are expected to grow in popularity. Check out these brands if you’d like a mid-performing smartphone that still has access to most Android business productivity apps.
