| Must Haves: 1. Battery Size -- phones should last atleast a whole day of use 2. Smaller Screen Size (5") (I dont need a phablet) -- I dont need huge ass screen. I have laptop for that.. I just need to read a few emails, message and take phone calls. Small screen is easy to hold and less changes of dropping. 3. NFC / Contactless payment enabled -- This getting to must haves as new applications like pairing over bluetooth headphones via nfc, paying for groceries is getting contact less. 4. Compatible with International Standards -- I do travel and hence would need phone to be compatible with various wireless standards. Nice to haves 1. Wireless charging -- This is a great luxury to just place the phone on a mat and not worry about whether the wire is connected correctly (considering some companies keep switching wire formats -- I am taking about Apple as you must have guessed.) 2. Headphone jacks -- There is an ongoing war on headphone jacks -- Want to charge your phone and listen to music? well, you are out of luck.. you cant if you dont have headphone jack. Bring back headphone jack. 3. Expandable memory -- 32 GB vs 128 GB its ridiculous that there is a difference of $100 or more?. 4. Ability to uninstall all or any apps.. I dont want another (MUST have Homescreen app) -- Choose Android One if possible. 5. Okish Camera -- Not much of a photo snob. 6. Fingerprint scanner for easy unlocks. |
