Once upon a time in the late 19th century when the science of ergonomics was poor since gadgets were not globally adopted, Those times were the times when the brains performed at the fullest!
But now we have a supplement to EVERYTHING (even human's private parts)!
We human beings used our "gifted" brains to invent things from non living stuffs just to get ourselves outsmarted !!
Making way into a new category called GADGETS under which comes phones. Today phones top the list as the most adopted mobile gadget all around the planet. The plethora of possibilities a phone can do and the power within its anorexic bezels...its just amazing.
Since today's brains are put in dilemma by so many tech websites giving reviews and stupid youtube videos which exaggerate and potray the phone as the best and we getting succumbed to those stuffs and naively buying some stupid

phone.You and only you know which phone you need and to realize that and to buy a proper phone, All that is required is some basic knowledge.
So without any digression,
How Do You Choose a Phone?
Ask yourself why do you need a phone? and choose the budget accordingly.
Do not worry, There is a phone for every budget. There is no perfect phone. If there was one then there would not have been any competition and people would buy that without second thoughts. So while choosing you will need to sacrifice on a few features but on the good side you would have got ton of other features.
Things To Consider,
Design
Design is the most important thing to see for, because every tom dick and harry will see the design first and design of the phone makes the first impression. Moreover it is how well it is designed to fit in ur palm and how best it feels each time you hold it.
According to me the HTC one is the best designed phone till date!
Size/dimensions
There all sorts of people in the world. Its upto you to decide which phone size you are comfortable with.
obviously the bigger the size the more powerful phones you get because there is room for more (categorized into phablets).
Ask me, i would recommend a phone of screen size 4.7" or 5" because it needs to fucking fit in the pocket.
Processor
This is the most debatable upon topic. People today are mind fucked about the number of cores a phone has! Trust me its not at all about the cores!
Let me explain you how processor works as simple as possible.
Imagine you have to cook a dish and you hire a cook. He finishes the task in 3 minutes. But you have more money and you hire another cook. So now there are 2 cooks, While one chops the vegetables (for the same dish) the other one cooks. The time required to complete the dish is not halved but reduced, Say 2 minutes 30 seconds. you have more money and you hire another cook. He has no job to do as the other 2 cooks is doing all the work but still you have to pay for the third cook.
This is exactly how a processor works. Here the cook is the number of cores and the dish is the process the processor has to do.
Octa core Processors Are They Necessary?
As of now NO. But definitely in the near horizon (keeping in mind the pace of growth). But as of today its a big NO. Even if it is present in a phone. It wont be used up to its potential and will only act as a marketing strategy for companies.
RAM (Random Access Memory)
While you are running a program the processor need to access the memory where the program is stored. when you fire up a program it is shifted to RAM so that processor can access the program and also randomly any number of programs launched. so more the RAM the better. There wont be much lags. and multitasking would be great with more of RAM.
Internal Memory
You be the judge here.
Phones today come with internal memory of 4,8,16,32,64,128 gb of which some space will be occupied by ROM( read only memory). ROM contains the firmware or the software running the phone.
Battery
Battery depends on various number of factors. It mainly depends on the OS running on the phone and YOU.
It's in your hands how well you use the juice in your phone. if you are power user, Carry a portable charge.
the higher the mAh the more juice you will get.
Camera
It's a common misconception that the more the number of megapixels the better is the snap. Clarity and depth of the photo depends on the megapixel. But for the snap to be better the megapixel should be high (8 mp is good to go) and sensor should be large. Photos taken from phones are good enough for social postings, but if you are serious about photography buy a DSLR instead or today's phones comes with add on accessories like the lumia 1020's camera grip which turns the phone into a point and shoot camera. Sony offers NFC lens which connects to your phone and takes control of the touch controls and turns it into a camera.
Display
The display of the phone is scaled with a term called ppi (pixels per inch), The more the ppi the better is the display. Forget not it takes up more battery also. But if you own a full HD phone you can not shift back to a display of lower ppi.
Question is do you actually need a full HD phone?
NO. You don't need a phone with high ppi. You will only notice the difference when you compare the phone with a higher ppi. Obviously the phone's display will look dull.
Operating System
There are many mobile Operating Systems. But the prominent ones are
iOS
The operating system for apple devices. iOS 7 is the latest version. This platform is considered most efficient in handling battery and performance. The end user also gets the best camera experience and a personal assistant called siri. There is ton of apps in apple app store. iOS is better known for its simplicity. But in the downside there are very few iOS devices available and all the phones available are at max 4" screen which is really sad. and it isn't customizable. Moreover the price of iphones is high and with lower budgets you will end up with outdated models.
Android
This operating system is owned by google. Android 4.4 kitkat is the latest version and there is loads of good things to talk about android. The biggest win it has over iOS is the number of choices people get. There is an android phone for everyone. The level of customization is very high and with play store having over one million app, You cant ask for more. Android gives you the best Google experience. Google apps like Google search, maps, Google now are integrated right into the OS.
Windows Phone
Windows Phone OS is owned by microsoft. It is currently making big in some countries. Windows phone 8 is the latest release some like the UI it offers as it has live tiles which is really cool. But it is not customizable. it is more like a locked ecosystem and there are not too many apps in the store.
Concluding, its just a phone, whichever phone you buy ultimately you will end up doing the same stuff and every phone will be able to handle whatever you throw at it, Its just the matter of how fast it does it. But the thing is.... It does the job.
Be Wise And Just Go Buy A Phone!
