It really depends on what features you really want. The iPhone 8 is still a great buy if you're on a budget and you don't need a super fancy camera or anything like that. The iPhone X and X Max are great if you want dual cameras, great performance, and an extended battery life. The best phone for you is going to depend on what you personally value, though.

Question

Should I still be worried about my Samsung phone battery exploding, or is that problem fixed?

Community Answer

It depends on what Samsung phone you own. If you have a Galaxy Note 7, turn it off immediately and send it to Samsung to get a full refund. If you do not have a Galaxy Note 7, you are fine. I would recommend a Galaxy Note 9 if you want the features of the Note 7.

Question

If I am connected with W-iFi, does that count against my data cap?

Community Answer

Usually, it shouldn't. There might be some exceptions; if you started to watch a video on YouTube while on the data plan, it might still stream on data plan even when you've connected to your Wi-Fi.

Question

What should be ideal RAM and processor specifications while buying a mobile?

If you're gaming, get at least 1 GB of RAM. A good CPU for gaming would be an ARM 8 or Snapdragon.

Question

What mAh battery is a minimum for gamers?

Rick Chance

Community Answer

3000 minimum. Most Apple products would not be good for you, because they normally have 2800 and slow recharge.

Question

How do I find out if a smartphone is 3G or 4G?

Community Answer

You can find it through the cellular data option that can be found on your settings. If it enables up to 4g/LTE then your phone is 4g and if it enables up to 3g, then your phone is 3g.

Question

Need a new phone I have no idea what to look at. The only features that matter for me are size, toughness, processor speed and ram. I currently have an aged Samsung A3 2016 that works but is too slow now. Any advice?

Community Answer

Android is your best choice. The higher range phones are much stronger, the chips are just as fast as iPhones and the Hz on Android are quicker.
