Tips On How To Choose The Best Smartphone


Picture
Every lawyer must have a current smartphone in order to keep up with the times. There are many factors to consider when choosing the right smartphone including features, reading the fine print, apps and more. Choosing the right phone can be daunting task. One way is to see which phones your colleagues use and find out if they are happy with their phone and how useful it is to them. The other option is weigh the pros and cons of phones by checking the stats, features and reviews online.


Tips for choosing the right smartphone

Don't go cheap when browsing available phones and plans. A 2-year contract that locks you in with an older phone such as iPhone 4 also locks you into slower speed network as the iPhone 4 works on 3G while the iPhone 5 works on 4G networks.

If you travel internationally, check your phone to make sure that the phone is able to be used overseas. Of course you can purchase a temporary phone that can be used just for travels but it would be much more efficient to have access to apps, contacts and data that are stored on your existing phone.

Check the phone's security options and activate as many as possible. A strong passcode that cannot be easily guessed should be used along with any available encryption. There are some apps such as BoxCryptor that can increase security for your phone.

Security features of your smartphone

Utilize backup of your data on a service like Dropbox, Box, SkyDrive, etc. For an even more secure backup, a cloud backup and replication service like cloudHQ can come in useful. It provides a continuous replication of all data from your main cloud account like Dropbox to a secondary backup account like Box or SkyDrive. This ensures that if any data from your original account becomes corrupted, accidentally deleted or misplaced, or if your phone gets lost or stolen, the data remains secure in the secondary account. This way, if you have important documents or files stored in the cloud storage, cloudHQ keeps it safe and secure.
