Price: No matter who you are, there is always a budget involved. How much are you willing to spend on your mobile phone? This is an important consideration for anyone buying a smartphone. HT Tech tool allows you to shift the slider to set the minimum and maximum amount you plan to spend on a device, or set these values manually, to see relevant models within your budget.

Hint: If you are a gamer, you will need to pick a mobile phone processor with higher clock speeds.
Cameras: Smartphone cameras are getting better every day, gone are the days when you had to manually change settings to get a good photograph. But even today, there are far too many options.

If you want a foldable screen, a clamshell display, an AMOLED screen, or LCD - you can pick the type of screen as well as the size of the display you want, based on your requirements.
Network: Connectivity: This is an important consideration while choosing a mobile phone. Does it support the latest Wi-Fi connectivity standard so that it works on your new router? Some smartphones come with 4G connectivity, while newer models also support 5G networks. Does the device support dual SIM connectivity?
