11 Features To Look Out For When Buying Android Phones -

No doubt android phones have whelmed the mobile phone market
in the country thus, making it the most used mobile internet
gadget.
This is a testament to the growing number of people who use the
Android phones daily.
But many a time most people don’t actually know the features of
these phones and what to look out for. It is either they get the
wrong choice or get something that is different from what they set
out to buy.
Phone sellers have also taken advantage of this to swindle most
people, thereby charging more for far cheaper and less quality
phones.
In a chat with a civil servant in Lagos state Mrs. Abosede,“I went
to GSM village to buy a new phone that will be compatible with
Whatsapp and that can ping, and on purchase I told the attendant I
want a phone with android functions only for me to get home and
was mocked by my children, saying the phone can only call and
send text messages and was told such phones are called.
A mobile phone dealer said,“These people are not just selling sub-
standard phones, some buyers are selfish in their spending, they
want a big phone for a relative cheap price and they get what they
paid for”.
He however agreed that some dealers still receive the appropriate
price and sell out sub-standards phones to their customers but
stressed that, it is because they did not buy it at the right place.
