These 6 features make a great smartphone in 2021

Smartphones are digital extensions of ourselves

In 2021, they’ve evolved to do what a gaming console, computer and personal assistant could in a perfectly compact pocket-friendly tool. While makers strive to outdo each other, some features have gone extravagant, while others have gone practical. Some for better, and some unfortunately for the worse.

The key here is to ask ourselves: What exactly do we demand from our phones? In terms of power, visual glory, ease and camera functionality, there’s a lot of factors to consider.

Here, we’ve jotted down six key details you need to look for in a smartphone in 2021:
  • Snapdragon 888, the industry apex
  • Foldable, rollable smartphones and everything in between
  • No more chargers
  • The bar is at three cameras now
  • 5G is the new normal
  • How ‘connected’ is your smartphone?
