Most Important features in a Smartphone
Buying a smartphone can be very challenging event for
consumers nowadays. Main reasons are due to the smartphone companies competing
to produce an up to date features in their smartphones in which the claimed to
meet consumers expectation. Among the features that has always beiing focused on are:
·
Operating
system
·
Camera
features
·
Slick
design
·
Application
features.
In reality, are the above features really considered
as most important features in a smartphones? Surprisingly, the above features
are NOT one of the important features that consumers will mainly looking for. Many
of the smartphone companies overlooked this feature. A survey was conducted by a consultant company in United Kingdom revealed that 89% of the respondents claimed that the battery
life was an important features to them when deciding to purchase a new
smartphone. (source: http://bgr.com/2014/05/21/best-smartphone-battery-life-2/)
I personally
concur with the findings from the survey, simply because it would be irrelevant
to own such a sophisticated smartphone but unable to operate for a long period
of time due to the ‘short’ life span of the battery. Without this long life
span of a smartphone battery, it will mean that a smartphone
isn’t very smart or useful if it's dead or cannot be use.
However a point to note that it would not be a fair statement for me to say that there hasn't been progress in making better batteries. Basically, the enhancement of the batteries for the smartphones were not as fast as the development of the devices such as bigger screens, more data and app use, faster processes, and all of the other advancements in the smartphones. The enhancement of the features simply require more power and contribute to the factor why current battery in the smartphones could not last long.
Perhaps these smartphone companies could adopt the
lesson learnt from the batteries that are being used in space shuttle that have
been launched to the orbit for months long. As we know the space shuttle uses
numerous high tech of computer devices and all of these devices utilizes
battery operated energy. Should any of the smartphone company able to make
breakthrough in the revolution of a longer life of the smartphone battery, I
believe the company would be able to capture the market share of smartphone as
we can see a significant chunk of smartphone buyers out there who might
conceivably switch to the smartphone that can provide them with top-notch battery
life.
