Smartphones<\/a> have so many features and capabilities these days, it can be a challenge to know which features are critical and which ones are unnecessary. Because smartphones cost a lot of money, you should make an effort to ensure you are getting the most phone for your money.<\/p>\n

To help you make an educated buying decision, I have put together a list of my top 10 best smartphone features<\/strong> that every phone should have. The list is based on my experience in buying dozens of phones over the past 20 years. This includes phones from multiple manufacturers that were purchased for myself and for friends and family members.<\/p>\n

Let me know in the comments section if you agree with the list, or share your own, must-have smartphone features. I will add the best shares to future versions of this article.<\/p>\n

Top 10 Best Smartphone Features<\/h2>\n

Here it is. My list of top 10 best smartphone features every phone should have, in order of importance. If you want, you can skip this entire list and simply buy the same phones I typically buy<\/a>.<\/p>\n

1. Water and Dust Resistance<\/h3>\n

Smartphones are expensive. The last thing you want to do is destroy your phone because you touched it with a wet hand or you dropped it in the sand at the beach. Simply put,\u00a0do not buy a phone that is not water and dust resistant.<\/p>\n

2. Great Battery Life<\/h3>\n

No matter how many capabilities your smartphone has, if it constantly runs out of power during the day, you won’t be happy with it. You should always try to buy a phone with as much battery life as possible. There’s never a good reason to buy a phone with a small battery.<\/p>\n

What size battery should you look for? I believe that a modern smartphone should have at least a 3,000 mAh battery. If you are buying a phone with a 6-inch or larger display, consider phones with a 3,500 mAh battery, preferably larger. And while a battery’s size can be a good indicator of a phone’s battery life, be sure to research what the real-world battery life is for the phones you are considering.<\/p>\n

3. Fast Charging<\/h3>\n

If you have ever wakened up in the morning and discovered that you forgot to charge your phone, you’ll appreciate fast charging. With a compatible phone, you can charge a dead battery to 70% or more in just 30 minutes. Thus, in the time it takes you to shower and get dressed, you can charge your phone enough to get a full day of use.<\/p>\n

Please be aware that your fast charging compatible phone may not ship with the fastest charger. For instance, Samsung phones often ship with a 25w charger. The 45w charger must be purchased separately.<\/p>\n

4. Power Saving Mode<\/h3>\n

Another power-related, must-have feature is a good power-saving mode. If your battery is low and you are unable to charge your phone, a power-saving mode can be a lifesaver.<\/p>\n

The feature often works by throttling down the phone’s processor usage, display usage, and network activity. This allows you to continue making or receiving calls or messages while your battery is low. Power saving mode can be the difference between getting that important call or missing it forever.<\/p>\n

5. Good Camera<\/h3>\n

For many people these days, the only camera they own is the one that comes with their smartphone. For this reason, it’s critical that the smartphone you buy has a good camera.<\/p>\n

What makes a camera a good<\/em> camera? At a minimum, the camera should take sharp, in-focus photos with good color. This way, you can reliably record people, places, things, written words, license plates, badge numbers (lol), etc.<\/p>\n

When possible, try to get a smartphone with these camera features:<\/p>\n
