iPhones don’t come cheap in India!! If you are planning to buy a brand new iPhone depending on which model you are going to buy then models above the iPhone 6 may prove a bit costly for you. You may consider to buy second hand iPhone mobile as they come cheap and might save some cash for you as well. Discussed below are the points that you should keep in mind while buying refurbished iPhone in India.

Points to ponder:  

1.       Battery Health

With iOS 11.3 Apple introduced a new feature i.e., battery health indicators in iPhone 6 and in models above that. On the new iPhone it is depicted at 100%. Over the time, the battery capacity decreases corresponding to decrease in the battery health.  While the battery can be operating at this stage but will have a very low capacity. So it’s better not to purchase or get the battery replaced before buying the refurbished iPhone.

2.        Receipt

Make sure that you have the receipt of the device purchased whether you buy it from individual seller or the third party app. Having a receipt allows you to resell the device and also provide you the facility to extend the warranty of the device. Apple also generates e-Receipts which also comes handy.

3.       Make sure it isn’t stolen

Making sure that your phone is not a stolen one. This would require your IMEI or MEID number. Go to general then ABOUT and in about find your IMEI or MEID. Then check your IMEI on the CTIA Stolen Phone Checker website. The website will respond with ‘GREEN’ for ‘NOT LOST OR REPORTED’ or RED for REPOTED LOST OR STOLEN.

4.    Hardware Damages

Look for hardware damages. While the minor scratches on the body of the phone or the glass can be ignored. However major scratches on the touch id or the 3D sensor and on the camera lens can prove to be extremely fatal. Also check for the water damage sensor if the phone has ever gotten wet.

5.       Check for the iCloud account and iPhone setup

It is better to make sure that your iPhone does not have existing iCloud account as it’s a hassle to remove the iCloud account without a password. And if the seller flat-out refuses to remove it, it would indicate that it's stolen.

Hope that you have got your queries cleared after reading this blog and would keep the above points in your mind whenever you are buying a refurbished or used apple iPhone in India.

If someday you have to face the difficult task of getting your mobile phone repaired, there a lot of questions you have in your mind that need to be answered such as cost of repair, time needed for repair, if genuine parts are used and many other questions. Here are some general pointers which will help you get a better idea about getting your phone repaired:

How much does mobile phone repair generally cost?

There are a lot of different factors that determine the cost of the cell phone repair, some major ones are:

·        Type and brand of phone: phones from different brands use different materials for manufacturing their phones. Some brands use high end materials which are costly to repair or replace, such as Apple iPhone. Brands such as Samsung also charge comparatively more than other brands. In short, the costlier the phone the higher the cost of repair.

·        The type of fault or defect: the repair cost depends majorly on what needs repaired or replaced. For e.g. if the upper glass of your touchscreen is cracked and the LCD below it is intact, then the cost is lower as compared to if the LCD also gets effected. Mostly these days’ people have problems with their phone screens, and the cost for that repair is quite high.

What if you have a cracked screen?

The most dreaded of the smartphone issues, ‘the cracked screen’. It is a hefty affair to get your screen fixed or replaced. These days’ screen is made of Gorilla glass which is a toughened quality of glass and does not scratch or crack easily. But again phones are really susceptible to breaking since they are mostly made of all-glass body.

But the most important thing is to go to a reliable source for your screen repair, since you need to make sure that the replaced part is genuine. You can either take it directly to the manufacturer, who will end up charging you a bomb for the service. It is better to give the phone to the manufacturer if it is in warranty period. Another option you have is you can take it to a third party repair center who can prove to be unreliable and still cost you a lot, although less than the manufacturer. Or nowadays there are simpler options, online portals. These portals provide you with a host of services while keeping convenience in mind. Sites like TOGOFOGO is providing mobile phone repair and screen repair at nominal charges and they even provide warranty on the replaced parts.

Yes, of course, as this adds up to your list of daily task which if you forget to perform might end up in a mess.A mobile device whether it’s a smart phone or a tablet has become the necessity of one’s life. So, with each year advancing we expect more and more from the device in terms of its looks or its functionality. With this concern, people reach to genuine mobile repair shops and ask one question then generally arises “how would I extend the battery life of my mobile device?”

Technical aspect

Most of the smart phones use lithium ion battery. With different versions of the smart phones coming over the years with improved processor and device size, it becomes highly desirable to provide the battery which can be compatible with the device.

As the processor speed increases with the new versions, the battery consumption also increased. At the same time if the size of the device grows it has greater impact on the battery usage as larger power is required to run the device.

To deal with this issue these days various mobile phone repair or screen repair shops have battery bank or even available online so that you need not to worry about the battery life of your mobile device.

So, here we are not going to suggest you to use your mobile phone or device for less. We will be presenting you with some ways to boost your device battery life.

Mentioned below are 7 ways to boost the battery on site without worrying:-

1.     Use auto brightness or dim the screen brightness

Your device display consumes most of the battery than any component. Most of the phones haveauto dimming features which adjust the brightness of the device which suits the required ambient lighting.

2.     Short Screen Timeout

In your phone’s display settings option, you might have found an option like Sleep or screen timeout. This setting determine and controls how long your phone screen stays lit after receiving any input like a tap. This consumes lot of battery as the screen remains lit. Reduce your screen time out duration to 2 seconds. This would really be a helpful option to opt for.

3.     Turn off Bluetooth

Bluetooth is comfortable to use with hands free headset, music player, activity tracker and other devices. But its battery consumption cannot be neglected. Turn off your device’s Bluetooth connection. This way you would be able to add an hour or more to your mobile device battery life.

4.     Turn off Wi-Fi

As the case with the Bluetooth connection same is the case with Wi-Fi connection. You love to connect your devices with Wi-Fi connection at your home or office but forget to notice the rate at which battery is draining. So, make sure to toggle it off when you move out of the house or office or you go out of the reach of the Wi-Fi connection. This onsite trick will definitely help you in increasing the battery life of your device.

5.     Keep eye on apps using location services and GPS

Another factor which adds to the low battery level in your mobile device is the Aps which uses GPS, mobile data and Wi-Fi to access your location.to limit the power use, in android how much power is used keep a limit to it.in settings> you can choose battery saving when you do not need it and high accuracy when you need it. Do not grant too much permission to an app.

6.     Remove the apps running in background

A powerful smartphone feature is –Multitasking. This way running too many apps at the background increase the CPU workload eventually results in faster battery drain. So, ensure that no or minimum apps are running at the background to have good battery life.

7.     Power saving mode

Power saving mode is as convenient as it named. When the battery level of the device reaches to 20%- 30% the mode turns on. As soon as the phone switches to this mode, longer the battery will stay. So, keeping this mode enabled will be of great help for the life of the device’s battery.

With this information you can get ways and tricks to understand where your device battery is draining and how to prevent that.

Mobile phones in India are perhaps the highest selling electronic gadgets of all time! With a number of online mobile shopping sites giving different offers on mobile phones, these gadgets are almost everywhere, with everyone! But with an array of new devices being released in a single  year, the itch to get a new phone is never far away. However, in the hurry to buy the latest phone and to be able to ‘fit in,’ a lot of people end up making choices that they later regret. They forget the fact that not all phones are suitable for every one, regardless of the fact whether or not you can afford it.

Hence, before you resort to closing your eyes and pointing to the nearest phone on display at your local carrier store, make sure you read this article where we have put up a list of the three most important points to consider before purchasing your next smartphone!

1.    Look Before You Take the Leap

In short, research! With the availability of so many mobile phones in India, and so many offers on mobile phones to choose from, it is vital that you do your research and do it well! Go to tech blogs, read the review sections of magazines, watch youtube videos (there are quite a few of them nowadays) or simply ask a friend who has been using the device you’re eyeing at! Mobile companies will always represent their devices as the very best but even if you don’t have an iPhone, you can totally have a Samsung and be fine with it! It all comes down to what suits you the best!

2.    List Your Requirements

This is connected to the first point- make sure you know what your requirements are and list them down before you go buy the device! If you want your phone to have a good camera, make a list of the phones with good cameras and match them to your other requirements. If price is your main point of worry, it is now easy to find models of mobile phones second hand or refurbished so that can be taken care of! Just know what you want and stick to it without letting peer pressure take over you!

3.    Think about the future beforehand!

Sure, all these exciting offers on mobile phones on the online mobile shopping sites may lead you to buy a smartphone without much of a thought but don’t forget that these devices cost a lot even after the exciting offers and discounts! So make sure you get the right warranties for your phone in case you end up dropping or breaking it. It may cost a little more but it will save you a lot in the long run!

Lastly, just make sure the decision you are about to make is right for you! Investing a big chunk of money (yes, smartphones do cost A LOT these days) is an important call (get the reference?), so make sure you make the right one! Stick to the authentic and reliable online mobile shopping sites and avoid falling for traps in the name of exciting offers on mobile phones! And if you buy mobile phones second hand, make sure you are told about its problems (if it has any) and the condition it is in. Make the right choice!

Mobile phones are probably one of the most in-demand pieces of technology ever created! It is just about impossible to live without one. And when we speak of mobile phones, there are two major brands that come into our mind. Either Apple or Samsung. These two giants have gone on to define and redefine mobile phones for us! While both these phones provide two completely different types of user experience, there are a few reasons that make Samsung the undoubted winner (Hello, Bluetooth?).

So for this article, we came up with the six main reasons why you should ditch the traditional iPhone and go the Samsung way!

PRICE

The price of an iPhone ranges anywhere between 30,000-80,000 INR. The Samsung mobile phone price in India is the way lesser as compare to other mobiles or I Phone. Samsung Smartphone mobile price 10000 and less is still a possibility where the quality is not compromised in any way. So whether you pay 10000 bucks for a basic Smartphone from Samsung or 40,000 Rupees for a higher priced Galaxy range, the quality will be equally good (the features may differ based on the price, however). Apple, on the other hand, comes with one new shade for its iPhone and increases the price like it’s no big deal! 

QUALITY

Talking about durability and quality, even hardcore Apple lovers would accept that Samsung beats their beloved I Phones by a ton! Samsung mobile with price comes with quality that is worth the money! It is almost like you get what you pay for. The speed, the user friendliness, and the software system are just some of the few points that really make Samsung phones stand out! Additionally, Samsung mobile phone price in India ranges anywhere between 10,000 Rupees and more so the durability is something that you can really count on since you probably don’t want to be investing another chunk of money on repairs, right?

USER-FRIENDLINESS

Okay, this goes against the monotony, but Samsung phones ARE INDEED more user-friendly in the terms that they do not just bind us with other Samsung products! You have access to Bluetooth, SD cards, and way more applications if you choose a Samsung India mobile instead of an Apple. Plus, the phones are generally very user-friendly in the sense that anyone from any age group can get a hold of these phones in a matter of days where it takes MONTHS (been there, done that) to understand how an overpriced iPhone works. (And by the time you understand it, they come up with a new model anyway so it is like a loop)

1.      THE SOFTWARE SYSTEM

Android, as compare to iOS any day, is enough said by someone.

 No, but seriously, updating your software system is the same for every phone whether it is a Samsung mobile phones below 10,000 or 40,000; unlike Apple phones where you go through 500 different problems if you have an older model instead of the overpriced new ones.

2.      App Store vs. PLAY STORE

Even hardcore apple fans will not have the courage to say that the App store is in any way better than the play store. With an array of different applications (hello, freedom of choice) the Play Store is like a dream come true for all application lovers. Except being easy to navigate through and download, this store has something for almost everyone!

3.      Overall

Through the points stated above, it is more than clear that Samsung India mobile is better than Apple in many ways! But those were not the only reasons. Overall, Samsung phone have many more features (wireless charging, weather sealing and more) that make them stand out and worth every penny you pay for. However, if the price is still a little out of budget for you, refurbished Samsung phones are way easier to find on the market than Apple iPhones. And Samsung mobile with price 15,000 and less is what it costs for the refurbished models which are almost like a dream come true!

Lastly, just remember, even if you don’t have an iPhone, you can have a Samsung and be more than satisfied! So make sure you make the right choice.
