Which smartphone suits me?

At Coolblue, you can choose from many different smartphones. Which mobile phone is best for you depends on your use. If you are going to choose a smartphone, first consider for what you're going to use the new smartphone. For example, do you only use it for WhatsApp or do you also want to take razor-sharp photos? 'We'll explain what to keep in mind when you choose a new smartphone in this article.

Choose a smartphone

Choose a smartphone

Each smartphone is different. What you should pay attention to when choosing depends on what you're going to do with your smartphone. Think about what you find important about your new smartphone:

  • What size do you want?
  • What do you find important about the camera?
  • Which operating system do you want?
  • How long should your battery last?
  • Do you need a fast and powerful device?
  • Do you want to receive regular updates?

Size

The size is very important when choosing a smartphone. A somewhat smaller mobile phone fits in your pocket and is easy to control with 1 hand. These smaller phones are unsuitable for gaming or for comfortably watching movies and series. Smartphones with a somewhat larger screen are a better choice for this. These are harder to control with 1 hand. Nowadays, there aren't many small smartphones because they don't have much space for a good battery.

Camera

If you often want to take good videos with your smartphone, there are a lot of complicated specifications to consider. To help you choose a smartphone, we've assessed all phones based on the aperture's opening, the number of megapixels, and image stabilization. That way, you can see if the camera meets your requirements at a single glance. Also take note of the type of lens in the camera. With a wide-angle lens, you can capture vast landscapes, while a telephoto lens lets you zoom in from afar.

Battery

Do you find it important that you can make it to the end of the day without charging your smartphone? It's important your device has a good battery. The battery life of a mobile phone depends strongly on your use and settings. An average user can last the entire day with a 5000mAh battery. Are you about to choose a smartphone with a smaller battery? Check if it has a fast charge function. This way, you can charge your smartphone very fast.

Operating system

Phone operating system Android or iOS

The most common operating systems are iOS and Android. iOS can be found on Apple's smartphones, and it's known for its security. However, it does have limited options if you want to exchange files with a non-Apple device. Android is the operating system of all the other brands including Samsung, OnePlus, and Xiaomi. These brands add their own characterists, like non-removable apps and extra functions for the operating system. Android One is a stripped Android version that also comes with monthly security updates.

Speed

If you like playing games or using a lot of apps at the same time, the speed of your smartphone is very important. To help you out, we've assessed each smartphone and rated the speed from mediocre to excellent. We mainly check whether the phone contains a powerful processor. The RAM is also important. The more RAM, the more tasks the smartphone can do at the same time. The operating system also affects the speed.

Update policy

Smartphone updates

Software and security updates are important for the lifespan of your smartphone. Google (Android) and Apple (iOS) release a software update every year. These updates provide extra functions and improve the battery life and speed of your device, for example. Security updates are released monthly and close vulnerabilities in the operating system. How fast and how often you get software and security updates varies per device. The longer and more often you receive updates, the better. We have assessed each smartphone on the update policy.
