A major point that you must consider while buying a mobile phone is your future needs. If you simply buy a handset matching your current usages, then after a while you will find it redundant. Also, with technology changing at a rapid pace, you may end up having an outdated smartphone.
Thus we at The Mobile Indian have been advocating users to opt for a smartphone with 4G (LTE) capability. True, right now 4G services are almost non-existent in India but there is no doubt that within this year or next, the fourth generation services are likely to be in place atleast in most major cities. Ofcourse, if you are one of those rich folks who tend to change their mobile phones every six months or so, and/or if you don’t want fast data connectivity, then this article should not bother you at all.
