Mobile Phones

Mobile phone as a constant companion of modern man

What unites the vast majority of people on the planet? One of the answers to this question is the presence of a mobile phone. Today it is rare to meet a person who would not have a mobile phone. Children master smartphones already in kindergarten, older people use at least feature phones. Well, for young people it has already become an urgent need to regularly update the model of their smartphone.

What are phones

The entire assortment presented on the market of Kazakhstan is divided into two unequal groups. Push-button telephones make up the smaller one, the number of which is constantly decreasing. Such devices, first of all, are addressed to the elderly, for whom smartphones are too complicated. But cellular feature phones have another audience — lovers of tourism, who prefer to take the simplest phone with them on a hike, which is not a pity to break. Quite often such models of mobile phones are supplied with the shock-resistant case with protection against moisture and dust.
The second, much larger group of devices are smartphones, which are essentially pocket computers. In recent years, they have taken on a lot of functions, replacing TVs, cameras and game consoles, so users often forget about the original task of making phone calls.
Among smartphones, the following main categories stand out.

• Flagships are the most expensive devices with thoughtful design, powerful hardware and advanced cameras.
• State employees are phones with a moderate price and more modest technical characteristics, which, nevertheless, often become bestsellers.
• Gaming — powerful phones with large screens, capacious batteries, and sometimes a cooling system. Some models provide the possibility of attaching gamepads to the case.
• Protected — like push-button "brothers", they are designed for outdoor enthusiasts. Sometimes they can differ in aggressive design and overlays on the corners of the case.
• Musical — a small group of audiophile phones that are equipped with a built-in headphone amplifier, audio chip and additional software tools to enhance the sound.

Number of SIM cards and communication standards

Today, the vast majority of feature phones and smartphones support two SIM cards, only the implementation of this support differs. It can be two separate slots for SIM cards, or one separate slot for a SIM card and one hybrid slot, in which you can put both a SIM card and a memory card.
As for the supported communication standards, almost any modern smartphone works in 3G and 4G networks. The new 5G communication standard is not yet so widespread, and therefore not every model supports it.
Those who need a direct landline number should buy a phone with CDMA support. This category includes both smartphones and push-button devices.

Does more mean better?

In recent years, smartphones with large displays have become popular, which allow you to comfortably watch videos and play games. Given this trend, manufacturers are constantly increasing the size of the screens, so that many modern models have a display diagonal of more than 6". However, note that the large screen shows its advantages when consuming entertainment content, but also brings certain inconveniences in everyday use. Therefore, if you use your phone primarily for calls, you might want to pay attention to more compact models.
