7 Must things to buy a smartphone :
1. Processor (System On Chip)
2. Display
3. Camera 
4. Battery 
5. Software and user interface 
6. Build quality & Design
7. Storage 


Processor / SoC :

When buying a phone, be sure to see the processor you're using before anything else. Businesses can trick you if they give you a 40MP camera, a 16GB RAM flash for selfies, but if that phone uses a 5-year-old processor or some cheap Mediatek processor, I'll surely pass this phone on even if it's priced at Rs. 20,000. Because it is the processor that executes all these functions on the phone and a faster processor makes you experience without problems.

Display :

Don't choose a smartphone with a screen size less than 6 inches, unless you use your smartphone primarily only to send text messages and browse social media. Buy a smartphone with a screen size of 6 inches or more otherwise. You will thank me later if you watch movies or videos frequently. There are two types of screen, LCD and AMOLED that we will talk about later, but get a Full HD screen. If you like games and whatnot, then a smartphone with a screen that has higher refresh rates will be good.

Camera:

With smartphones replacing the role of digital cameras and entering the creative platform a lot, it is important to analyze the quality of the smartphone camera you intend to buy. As many smartphone manufacturers have already started to pay attention to the quality of the camera and its features, choose one with higher megapixels, better optical stabilization and fast autofocus capabilities. A higher megapixel will ensure that the photo you capture is sharper and less noisy. Optical stabilization will ensure that the output is not blurred due to movement. Autofocus will be useful when recording videos. You can also examine maximum openness and whatnot, but these three things can do good on a budget. But still, the quality of the lens and sensors play an important role.

Battery :

Battery life is one of the most important factors to consider when buying a smartphone. It is often neglected when buying a new smartphone. But having a smartphone with less battery life can get frustrating soon. The constant fear of running out of battery can restrict its use. Choose a smartphone that has a battery capacity between 3000mAh and 3500mAh, considering that it is a light user. But a higher number of mAh does not mean more battery life. It also depends on the screen size, resolution and CPU of the smartphone. A smartphone with a battery capacity of 4000mAh or higher is always preferred. It is enough for your smartphone to work all day. Buying a smartphone that supports fast charging can help you in some situations.

Software and user interface :

Make sure the software running on your phone is the latest and free of bugs. If the UI is stock Android then it is the best one, otherwise, before buying a phone you should check its user interface is smooth, clean and bug-free.

Build Quality & Design :

A phone will last longer if its quality is good. A good design will make your phone stand out from the crowd and you will also have a feeling of self-satisfaction when seeing that your phone is so well done. A bigger brand will generally have better after-sales service, it is important when your phone goes crazy and you need to repair it. A service centre near your home won't make you run around the planet looking for a service centre.

Storage :

A cheaper phone will actually have less memory compared to an expensive one. If you download movies or more songs on your smartphone, it is best to go with a smartphone with at least 32GB ROM. There are two types of memory: RAM and ROM. RAM also affects the speed of the smartphone as it stores the data of the applications it uses. ROM is the internal storage where you can store your multimedia files. Let's suppose, RAM as your pocket, which is more practical and accessible, while ROM as your backpack, which can store many things, but it takes more time to access than your pocket. Some smartphones come with an expandable memory option, which can also be a great investment. It is ideal for a smartphone with 3GB-6GB of RAM and 64GB or more of ROM.


Also, today’s phones come with the latest features like 4G and all, so you need not check for them, they will be present in for phone if it is not a very cheap model.
