Smartphones generally make our lives easier. They help us make calls, get directions, take photos, share information, listen to music and more. But there is one thing they definitely don’t make easier – choosing the right smartphone. What is the best operating system? What features and specs are important? Is a bigger display better? In this article we try to answer all of these questions, and help you choose the suitable smartphone for you.

#1 – Operating System

In today’s world of smartphones there are really only three options when it comes to the operating system – Android, iOS, and Windows Phone. Android is certainly the most popular option, since Android phones come from many different manufacturers including Samsung, HTC, Sony, LG etc., who create smartphones of all shapes and sizes. Apple’s iOS, on the other hand, is available only on iPhones.

Most smartphone users today are interested in cool apps, and when it comes to applications there isn’t an enormous difference between these two operating systems, although iOS users often get certain hot games and apps first. If you are interested in trying the latest and greatest apps, than definitely skip phones running on Microsoft’s Windows Phone OS, which has the lowest amount of apps available out of all three operating systems.

Oh, did we hear hear someone mention Blackberry? Thought not…
