Shopping for a cell phone? There are plenty of options with AT&T.
Shopping for a cell phone can be a personal decision. For many of us, our phones are an extension of ourselves. We use them to document our lives, stay connected with the world around us, and keep in touch with loved ones. When it's time to choose a new phone, it's important to consider all of the features involved.
Whether you're looking for the hottest new smartphone or a simple AT&T flip phone, there are plenty of options. Browse the latest iPhones, like the iPhone X and iPhone XR, as well as the most advanced LG and Samsung phones, like the LG G8 ThinQ and Galaxy S10. No matter what you're looking for, you should be able to find something that fits your unique personality.
Important features to consider when shopping for a smartphone
If you're not sure what smart phone to choose, here are a few features to consider:
Design: these days, most of us bring our phones with us everywhere we go. These devices have become more than just another piece of technology. The look and feel of your phone can also say a lot about your personal style.
Display: the screen of your device makes a huge difference. After all, many of us spend a lot of time looking at our phones. It makes sense to expect a quality visual experience. As a general rule, the higher the resolution, the sharper everything will look on your phone. Some newer phones even have ultra-thin bezels (the border around the screen) to maximize your viewing area. This can be especially nice if you like watching videos on your device.
Processor: your smartphone's processor powers everything you do. The faster your processor, the more quickly you will be able to take pictures, play music, browse the web, use apps, and do everything else you enjoy doing on your device. When it comes to processors, more cores tend to mean more power. A dual-core processor is faster than a single-core processor, for example.
Camera: If you're the type of person who loves to take pictures, the camera might be one of the most important factors in your decision. These days, some phones have cameras that rival a digital camera. If this is what you are looking for, look for a camera with high image quality (8-megapixels is a good start).
Battery: it's never fun when your phone dies in the middle of something. If you enjoy watching videos and playing games, that will wear down your battery especially quickly. If you’re worried about running out of juice, look for a device with a strong battery life or consider purchasing a portable charger.
