You now know how to check whether a Mobile Phone is an Android OS Phone based on the above simple 5 STEPS. The other thing you need to ask yourself now is, which Android Mobile Phone Model do you choose? Based on this you can identify a model that is renowned for having the particular features you are looking for in a Mobile Phone and identify the one with latest good features and settle for it

Which features should you be looking for in an Android Mobile Phone?

Your choice for buying a Mobile Phone should not necessary be influenced by color, size of screen or the accessories that a Mobile Phone comes with. In as much as these aspects are important and determine diverse tastes for Mobile Phone buyers, there are some other vital things that should be put into consideration; These are some of basic requirements you could look out for;

• Android OS (one that supports at least Android Version 4.x.x and above is OK).
• Mobile Phone’s Internal Storage Memory Size (8Gb, 16Gb, 32Gb and above is OK).
• Mobile Phone’s RAM Memory Size (1Gb, 2Gb, 3Gb and above is OK).
• Network Generation Technology Compatible with your Mobile Phone (3G, 4G and above is OK).
• Camera (5MP, 8MP, 13MP and above is OK).

  Have you ever been seated next to a person or this workmate who is always moving around and every time they do so they leave their Mobile Phone behind and you have to suffer the nuisance of its loud ringtone until it stops ringing because it is not ethical to pick up other people’s phones and answer them? Make sure your Mobile Phone does not become a bother to those around you and know when to turn it off and when to put it on vibrate and when to remove the ringtone. A Mobile Phone is like a pet, if your pet’s existence is becoming a problem to everyone around you then that could possibly draw a dislike for it and you and your Mobile Phone are likely to get parted. Just like that! Without a trace. Ever searched for something without finding it and no one ever seems to understand or explain its mysterious disappearance? People have a way of making this disappear! Lol! But Christians do not help make things disappear. Anyway, this tip will help you understand Tip 21 below.

• Protect your Mobile Phone from Theft and keep it safely in ways you do not tempt thieves to get away with it

  Tip NO 20 above can help you in protecting your Mobile Phone from getting stolen. When you move and always go with your Mobile Phone, you will reduce the chances of someone with a thieving mindset (yiimu ya ung’ei) from getting away with your Mobile Phone. Thieves may not necessarily take away your entire Mobile Phone and get away with it, but they may choose to remove the casing, batteries or other accessories from your Mobile Phone. That’s why you should always keep tabs of your Mobile Phone every time in the same way you clutch onto your child’s hand in public places so that they do not disappear. Also, if you commuting in a public service vehicle, you could draw your phone from your pocket and hold it in your hand while you board or alight so that it is not stealthily pulled out of your pocket without you knowing by thieves (ing’ei). Do not leave your phone on the dash board of your car where thugs are likely to notice it and break into your car to get it.
