Don't buy jio feature phone

 

Sorry , jio enthusiast, whatsoever the media says or how so ever ur ' merry making' neighbour prescribe 

but I will not prescribe the latest  jio feature phone.

Of course I will give my reasoning for it .

But first of all let me clarify I my no way against jio  or its phones .I had tested other jio phones and they r absolutely fine. The  aim of this post is to warn u against the potential consequences. Of buying the jio feature phone.

Also read ,smartphone buying guide

First of all look @ the specs of jio feature phone  aka jio phone ( in rest of guide I will call it as such)

Alphanumeric keypad
4-way navigation
2.4 QVGA display
512 MB RAM
4 GB internal storage
2MP rear camera
2000mAh battery

This is in addition to the features of any other regular phone such as FM radio torch light, headphone jack, SD card slot and inbuilt ringtones.



1-It's not free - dude wtf...

Ya you got it right . acc. To official announcement  it is free but u have to pay 1500rs which is of course refundable but wait

Refundable only if u return the phone
After 3yrs.

1st  type of man 'the hosiyaars'-  ya so  ur   the smartass who wants this phone and will return after 3yrs  and get ur pennies back ,OK  wait don't run too fast have u ever listened about a feature phone which. Will remain in OK condition(without a single scratch ) after 3yrs ?
Ya they will not take a damaged phone .

2nd type -so ur a normal man and u want a phone . let's say it work nicely every thing remain up to standard which u brought it for 3yrs.
Then why will u return it?

So , u see this whole free thing is a hoax .
(OK if I mentioned wrong condition for refund pls correct me in comments)


2-dude its a 4g phone phone -

OK OK  don't overreact u will be offered a good speed .
                                   But what's the use of it, ya u can watch onlinne movies , in 2.4 inch  size seriously ?

,but u could  watch  movies  on big screen by connecting it to TV.

But this phone is aimed at the people
Of middle class or lower income class ,will they be able to buy such branded TV.
And other than  watching movies what else it  provides.
That gets to our 3rd point.




3-coming to  usability and user experience-

Let's look down to our past
Once we all had this

sorce-snapdeal.

  

Then we switched to this

source-samsung.com

Why ,
Can u give reason
*bigger screen-?
*Better camera?
*Good looks?
*Better internet features (browsing ,charting etc.)?
*Good more apps (whattsapp,fb,candy crush etc.)?
Many of u will agree with one or all of the reason but I will say no

*Some feature phones were touchscreen  so they had large screens.
* we could any time to market and get aproffesional camera which will be 100 times better than ,what any phone can offer.
*seriously -fb was still there,
many  Samsung feature phone does had features of email,FBI,charting,browsing.
*there was a phone I don,t remember its name ,was offering 600games.

So these were no real reasons
The reason was different

Now we get to play snake (of Nokia phones)with. Old dude contra .

We could also play super Mario of PC's with ,soulcalibur of PS.
Also we could change the wallpaper, not like old phones from a image  ,but to  unlimited live wallpapers,
 that too  are  not bounded by our provider .
The point I am trying to  making is that is gives us a lot of freedom of customization

That freedom is unprecedented from booking movies , to chatting, from  online money transfer. to playing online games, from instragram to times of India, from all childish thing to all mature one

.

Will u get that in a feature phone well no ,some will say we could say jio does offers jio money , for money matter ,jiotv for online movies,  and blah blah ....
Let's take the case of money transfer
Today most popular money transfer option is PayPal (internationally),paytm(for Indians)
Tommorow it will change u will try to get that app too which u are flaunting but can u do that
                                  No ur  doomed with jio money till eternity.

3-busting other hoax -

It offers voice  navigation -every latest android phone does so .

It had pre embedded jio apps - pls refer to point 3, case of jio money app

It offers alphanumeric keypad -seriusly is that a point ,

Led flash-dude ,pls shut ur  fuc.... Mouth,its serious huh...

Jio tarrif plans - now this could  be the good reason but then air tel is planing to offer much cheaper plans.



5- the verdict -

 technology companies need to start thinking about usability and user experience instead of just trying to tick the cheapest option box. The latter might actually end up impacting their industry negatively inthe long run. If they do want to offer affordability, it should be without cutting corners too much.

 So if ur  buying phone for ur  grandpa then its fine ,or buying just for a backup OK, but for everyday use. 
A Big  NAAh..

Still not satisfied read indian express's article

what to consider when buying a smartphone?/smartphone buying guide

 Got bored of your old phone?

source-shutterstock.com

wants a new phone?

Was your old phone a pile of garbage? Got hanged many a times?
Does'nt wants another dumbo thing

source-123rf.com

Then you landed @ the right place here we will discuss . what to consider when buying a new  phone.
But before it make sure u have a decent budget. This guide will cover other  technical aspect of  buying a smartphone but dude counting pennies must be ur  own business huh....

Doesn't have enough pennies,
(dude just chill get me a pizza , then I we will deal with it -Ur dad
,but for us it is fuc'king serious )

Best budget  smartphones in U.S.

Best smartphone under 5k rs in India


1-OS

source-tech worm.net

dealer -so  what kind of phone u want?
Iggy (insert  ur name here instead)-err..

The Same which my ex has got .

Ha,ha jokes aside  u must have decided which os  u want in ur  phone before getting to store ,
There are mainly two big  guys in market  namely
IOS and  android . Other are lesser known like symbiam,sailfish etc.
There  is also her majesty , the windows
( u see the , it used to rule over  the PC world)

Coming down to these two guys ,
IOS is owned and managed by apple.
Where as android is owned  by Google but it is a open source soft software, it means it has scope for hell lot of customization .
So its for people who want a lot of experiment.
On other hand iOS is for classy people (no pun indeed).

Of course there are exceptions but rule of thumb says, Usually android phones are cheaper than iOS one.

So if ur  low on budget , want more customization, more freedom and wants to  meet this guy

Then opt for android . otherwise  iOS is always there.

2-Screen size -


no one  wants this

source- wallpaper saffari

Ya sure sure, we want her. but I was reffering to  her phone.
 The preffered choice usually  is a phone which is 5inch or 5+ in size .

Other like a smaller size.
It totally depends on your  taste but size nearly 5 inch is decent.

3-Processor-


The Higher ,the better

 Processor Is like having multiple arms .there are many types,take it like this
Single core -one core
Dual core-two core ,lets say 2hands
Quad core - 4 hands
Octa core -8hands
Hexacore and so on.
So if ur  budget permits take the phone with highest no of cores.

3-Ram &rom-

Coming back to our first point  , if ur  phone gets hanged quiet often than take my word buy a phone with better ram .
Phone usually comes with 1gb,2gb,4gb,and  huge lot of money (I was reffering to  the 6gb  one.)
 For multitasking 2gb ram is a must .
But no , the rule the higher the... Does not apply here I u have got a phone with 2gb ram  ,then don't rush for higher one its ,enough look for other features.

ROM reffers to internal memory of  phone .
 Take my word never heed to companies word that u have got a  expendable memory so don't  worry about storage
Extendable memory can never ever take the place of  ROM .

ROM is where u store app +photos+videos etc.
In external memory u can only store
Photos +videos+ur other stuff. No app can be stored in external storage (although  app data can be ).
Same rule here the higher the better .
ROM comes in 8gb,16,32,64etc.

4-battry-


Ya there is spll mistake but ur not my primary teacher huh...

- most basic and most imp .
Without juice u will not to be able to chat, surf,play games etc.
*
Battery comes either as removable or non removable .
*Always prefer removable  battery having higher mAh  ( battery measuring unit).

5-network technology -
Refers to  ur  generation of ur  networking the higher generation  the  better is the ease of operation .
Always prefer 4g if it is available and in budget.

6-camera-

Source-android pit

selfie lover would try to kill me because a placed it so low. But it is the place where it should be.
Seriously if u want a camera , buy a proffesional one , camera on phone can't take its place .
Camera in phone depends on
Pixel - refers to the no of parts it could be breaken into ,(sorry technical words ).
U only have to remember to take the phone with highest megapixel available .
 Other features includes-

Xenon flash(best flash available),autofocus, 4krecording etc.

Summary-


Os - your preference ,iOS or android
Screen size-5inch
Processor-quadcore and higher
Ram &Rom-2gb/16gb or more
Baterry-3000mah  ,removable battery
Camera-8mp or 8mp+
