What to look for when buying a new smartphone

Are you looking for a new smartphone? The range is huge, the choice overwhelming, and technology is advancing rapidly. But don't worry, we'll make the process a bit easier! Before you decide on a model, there are some important points to consider. Here is a step-by-step list to help you find the perfect smartphone for your needs.

At Gomibo.dk, you'll find a wide selection of smartphones from brands like Samsung and Apple that might be just right for you.

1. Budget: How much are you willing to spend?

The first thing to consider is your budget. Smartphones come in a range of price points, from low-cost models under €200 to high-end devices that can cost well over €1,000. Sure, the latest flagship models from Apple, Samsung or Google offer impressive features, but you can often find great mid-range devices that have everything you need without costing a fortune.

Flagship models: iPhone 15 Pro, Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra, Google Pixel 8 Pro.
Mid-range: Samsung Galaxy A54, Google Pixel 7a, OnePlus Nord CE 3.

With the right budget in mind, you can browse our website and be sure to find the right smartphone for you!

2. Operating system: iOS or Android?

The next decision: Which operating system is right for you? Are you Team Apple or Team Android?

iOS (Apple): iPhones are known for their user-friendliness, a closed and secure ecosystem, and regular software updates. The Pro models with a powerful processor, such as the iPhone 15 Pro with a 6.1-inch OLED display and 12 MP camera that takes stunning photos and videos, are particularly popular. If you already have other Apple devices such as an iPad or a Mac, everything works together seamlessly.
Android (Google, Samsung, etc.): Android smartphones offer a wider range of models and price ranges. The system is more open and allows more customization. Here you also have the option to choose from a variety of manufacturers.

If you are not sure which operating system is right for you, check out Gomibo.dk – we have the perfect selection for both types.

3. Display size and technology: How big is big enough?

Screen size is an important point that is often overlooked. You should consider what you mainly use your smartphone for.

Large displays (6.5 inches and up): Ideal for multimedia, gaming, and productivity. Examples include the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra or the iPhone 15 Pro Max with OLED display.
Compact displays (under 6 inches): Perfect for people who want to hold their device lightly or operate it with one hand. The iPhone 13 mini or the Google Pixel 6a are great options here.

At Gomibo.dk, you'll find a wide range of smartphones with different display sizes and technologies, including many with high-quality OLED displays.

4. Camera: Do you need the best camera on the market?

If you love taking photos and videos, camera quality is a deciding factor. These days, even mid-range smartphones offer impressive cameras. But which features are important to you?

Multiple camera systems: Many of the latest smartphones, such as the Google Pixel 8 Pro or the iPhone 15 Pro, have several cameras (wide-angle, telephoto, macro) that are useful in different situations.
Night mode: If you often take pictures in low light, make sure you have a smartphone with a good night mode. The Google Pixel and the iPhone are known for their excellent night shots.
Video quality: If you also do a lot of filming, check out the video resolution and stabilization technology. The latest iPhones offer 4K and even the option to record in Dolby Vision.

5. Battery: How long does it last?

No one likes a smartphone that's constantly dead. That's why you should definitely pay attention to battery life.

Flagship models: High-end devices like the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra or iPhone 15 Pro often offer larger batteries and optimized software for longer runtimes.
Mid-range models: Devices like the Xiaomi Redmi Note 12 or the OnePlus Nord are known for their good battery life and often offer excellent value for money.

6. Storage: How much space do you really need?

Nothing is more annoying than when the storage is full. Therefore, consider in advance how much storage space you need. Most smartphones today offer at least 64 GB, but if you store a lot of photos and videos, you should consider 128 GB or more.

Cloud storage: Services like Google Drive or iCloud offer additional storage space, but it's always handy to have enough internal storage.

With Android devices, you often have the option of expanding the storage with a microSD card, which is not possible with iPhones.

7. 5G connectivity: future-proof or overrated?

5G is the new buzzword in the world of smartphones. Most current models now support 5G, which will lead to faster download and upload speeds in the coming years. But is it worth it now?

Flagship phones like the iPhone 15 Pro and Samsung's Galaxy S23 Ultra have 5G on board, and if you live in an area with 5G coverage, it might make sense to go for this technology right away.
However, if you live in a region where 5G is not yet available, a 4G smartphone may be enough, especially if you only use basic internet services.

Your smartphone, your decision

Buying a new smartphone is a personal decision and depends on your priorities. Think about what you want to use it for mainly and compare the different options. Whether you're looking for a flagship or a solid mid-range model, you're sure to find the perfect smartphone for you at Gomibo.dk.
