Buying Mobile Handsets — Multimedia Features

In recent years, mobile phones have ceased to be devices for just making phone calls and have instead become versatile multimedia phones that act as powerhouses for video, music and gaming.

The most important feature for a multimedia phone is the quality of the screen; for instance the LG MM-535 comes with a bright, 2-inch, 262,000 colour screen for viewing video. Audio can be in the form of stereo speakers or included headphones (which fit in both ears unlike the usual cellular headphones). You can listen to MP3 files stored on your phone’s memory and some phones can also receive FM radio.

Cell phones can also be used for gaming and while the graphics are relatively basic, the games can be an enjoyable way of spending a few spare minutes. Some phones come with pre-loaded games like Snake and new games can also be downloaded from the Internet.

Note that multimedia consumes a lot of energy so make sure you buy a model with plenty of battery life if you intend to use multimedia features a lot.. Also check out the button layout for special multimedia buttons for, say, playing and stopping music or controlling game-play.
