    While one would believe that only high-end equipment meet all these conditions, it is not always the case. There are several factors that can affect the performance and autonomy of the mobile. And not always the most expensive is the best. Here, some details that you have to take into account when buying a computer


    1. The processor. This is the heart or brain of the team. In principle, the more cores the chip has the better because that will give the cell more speed, since each core can perform functions separately. On the other hand, we must take into account the frequency, which is the speed with which tasks are processed and expressed in GHz. With a four-core chip running at a frequency of 1.2 GHz each one is already achieved very good results

    At present there are several mid-range teams that are very well equipped in this sense and whose values, released, range between 4,500 and 15,000 pesos, depending on the model and the place where they are purchased. On the other hand, there is always the possibility of acquiring the models subject to one of the plans provided by the different telecommunications companies.
    One example is the Moto Z Play, launched last year, which has a Snapdragon 625 processor with eight cores operating at 2 GHz; or even the G4, also of eight cores. There is also the Huawei P 8 Llite, presenting in 2015, which integrates a chip HiSilicon Kirin 620 with eight cores running at 1.2 GHz or the Samsung Galaxy A7, this year, which has an octacore processor Exynos 7880 of 1.9 GHz

    In the case of the iPhone, on the other hand, the processors are optimized so that they yield the maximum and in fact this was demonstrated in different measurements. Even models from previous years, such as the iPhone 6 that integrates a Apple A8 dual-core chip at 1.4 GHz has shown to have a very smooth operation.
    It must also be borne in mind that, in the final analysis, there may be variations in performance due to other issues such as the software added by the different brands and other issues related to use. If the user has many applications open simultaneously, the team will be more demanding.


    2. Memory. In the case of Android you have to think, at least 2 GB of RAM and ideally, in 4 GB, a feature present in most mid-range computers. This aspect affects the speed since it is vital to process multiple tasks simultaneously. Android requires a lot of memory for its processes and this can increase, as mentioned before, according to the use that the user gives it and the type of software that the brands add to it.

    There are several options of robust equipment, with good memory and at a good price. The Oppo, Xiaomi and Asus brands offer interesting alternatives in this regard. HTMC and OnePlus also has varied equipment and with some popularity in Asia, Europe and the United States.


    3. Internal storage. It is generally recommended to look for computers that have at least 16 or 32 GB of internal memory and that have the possibility of adding micro SD to expand capacity. This is useful for saving photos and videos that can also be stored in the cloud anyway. Just make a back up in iCloud, in the case of iPhone, or in Google Photos, a tool that is available for all operating systems.
    4. The screen. Here are several issues to consider. On the one hand there is the size and this depends on the taste of each one. In general, teams tend to have screens that exceed 5 inches and there is a tendency for infinite displays or rounded edges to maximize the front of the team. Some models with this aesthetic are the iPhone X, Samsung Galaxy S8 and the LG G6.

    The minimum resolution that should be sought is a full HD. For the most demanding are the options with Quad HD, a resolution that is usually best enjoyed when the teams have a display of 6 inches and up.

    The panel type can be LCD or OLED. This last option offers greater contrast and brightness, which is installing as the favorite choice of manufacturers. At the same time, it allows to make thinner equipment and with protagonist screens and without frames that, as we said, is the fashion that is imposed. Samsung was one of the pioneers in adding this technology to their phones, then they were followed by other equipment manufacturers with Android and Apple now incorporated this material into their iPhone X.


    5. The camera. To start we must say that megapixels are important but they are not the only thing that must be taken into account. And in fact its value is quite relative. The new high-end smartphones have cameras that often do not exceed 12 MP.

    It is more important to fix the focal aperture, which is what allows the entry of light. If it is f / 2.0 or smaller then good shots can be made even when there is no good lighting.

    The brand of lenses that are used is also important. In this regard, it is worth noting Huawei's commitment to incorporate Leica lenses in its Huawei P10 model, for example. The Xperia models from Sony have also shown a very good performance. Samsung and Apple, meanwhile, have stood out in this regard for years.

    The dual camera is a trend and is present in high-end models such as the Galaxy Note 8, iPhone 8 Plus and LG V 30, just to give some examples.


    By having a dual camera, they integrate two sensors that carry out different tasks and, therefore, achieve better results. The models of Huawei P9 and P10, among others, integrate a lens that registers in black and white and another, in color (RGB). This allows a final image with better contrasts.

    The dual camera also makes it easier to exploit the bokeh or defocused background effect to make portraits. However, it is also possible to achieve this effect in teams with a single rear lens such as the Galaxy S8.

    Stabilization is essential to avoid moving images. There are also other factors such as autofocus or the possibility of making videos in super slow motion, as is the case of the Sony Xperia XZ1, which can play in favor of the most demanding profiles.

    Finally, photography connoisseurs will like to have the option of making manual adjustments. This is enabled on almost all Android devices, with different alternatives. In the case of iPhone this is not available: the camera can only be used in automatic mode, although there are some applications that can be downloaded to use manual settings, anyway it does not work in the same way as when the option comes integrated from the factory, as it happens in Android.
    6. The battery. Here are two key issues to keep in mind. On the one hand the autonomy, which will depend not only on the size of the battery (it is assumed that the more milliamps better) but also the type of software that integrates the equipment. There are models that have tools to optimize battery performance. You can also use the equipment in "saving mode" to favor autonomy.

    The other important aspect is that it can be loaded quickly. There are teams that integrate chargers of this type or are compatible with Quick Charge technology. This allows to duplicate and even quadruple (according to the Quick Charge version) the loading speed with respect to the conventional load.
