Every year, smartphone brands unveil models that are far superior to their predecessors. Whether we talk about premium smartphones like the iPhones or the Samsung Galaxy S-series phones, or mid-range models from brands like Xiaomi, Realme, Oppo and Vivo, there is a chasm in terms of features and responsiveness between the latest models, and the previous year?s offerings. With the latest mobile phones offering a better user experience, and housing best-in-class features, consumers are forced to change their handsets almost every 12 – 18 months.
If you are thinking about purchasing a new smartphone, 2021 has already seen its fair share of handsets being added to the list of mobile phones available in the market. Furthermore, with 5G networks expected to be rolled out either towards the end of 2021, or during the first half of 2022, more brands are now focusing mostly on offering 5G-enabled handsets. This has also resulted in MediaTek Dimensity chips becoming all the rage, as brands are stepping up their game in terms of the processors they offer.
