I need suggestions to pass on to my aunt for a new mobile phone. Her main requirements are, I quote:
"music, whatsapp, camera, internet browsing".
1. Budget?
A: 10-12k
2. Preferred Form Factor(flip, bar, slider)?
A: Bar
3. Preferred display type?
A: TFT. Phone should be easily handle-able with one hand. So screen size should be 4-4.5"
4. Do you have any brand preference or dislike? Please name them.
A: Reputed brands only.
5. Preferred input method (Touchscreen, QWERTY, etc.)?
A: Touchscreen
6. Camera required or not? If required, please specify type like front camera/flash/etc.
A: Min 5MP camera preferably with Flash.
7. Preferred operating system? (Android, Symbian, iOS, Windows Phone etc).
A: None. it has to be something which requires minimal or no technical knowledge. So not sure if android is the right choice here.
8. Preferred connectivity options? (3G, Wifi, Edge etc).
A: 2g, 3g, wifi
9. What is your intended use for this phone(internet, camera, multimedia, mails, etc)?
A: calling, music, camera, whatsapp & browsing. (this is pretty much ALL that she would need)
10. Any other requirements?
A: Dual SIm would be a HUGE plus but not necessary.
11. If you have already considered a phone then please mention the model.
A: None
Note: As you guys may know, for most ladies nowadays, it's the brand popularity that matters more than the actual VFM/usability factor of the phone. So for eg even though motoG would kick Samsung Grand's ass, but samsung grand would catch a lady's eye because of it's brand popularity.
