The most popular small screen is the iPhone 5s, as it has a compact design. If you are looking for a bigger phone, then you will have to choose a device that runs on either the Windows or Android OS. If you want a tablet and a Smartphone in one, you can choose a bigger phone. The only drawback is that the devices may be heavy, won’t necessarily fit into your front pocket and you need both hands to operate them.

The software suite and the flash are also important as this increases the functionality of the camera.

Specifications:
The capacity of the battery is usually mentioned on the battery itself. If you want a device with endurance, you can choose a battery that is 3000 mAh or more. Since you will be storing plenty of data, choose a device that has loads of internal storage ranging from the standard 16 GB to 32 GB. You can also choose one with a Micro SD slot.


The RAM or system memory on a device ensures that device runs well. Low range phones will typically have a 1 GB RAM, but the flagship devices will have 2 to 3 GB RAM. A higher RAM ensures that faster loading and switching between apps.
