More Cores … Better is the Processor – Well! Not always
It is always been assumed that the Octa-core (8 core) is always better than Quad-core (4 core) but this is not true every time. The performance of a processor also depends on the frequency on which it is clocked and the chipset used. For example, 2.5 GHz Quad core with Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 Krait 400 works much better than 1.7 GHz Octa Core with Qualcomm Snapdragon 615. Thus Lenovo Zuk Z1 which prices at Rs. 13,457 will work smoother then Moto X Play 32GB which prices at Rs. 17,499

Higher the PPI, i.e. pixel per inch, better the display. But, what type of screen the smartphone possess play an important role too. For instance, Oneplus 3 has 401 ppi pixel density and
Optic AMOLED Display while Lenovo K5 Note has 401 ppi pixel density and
IPS LCD Display, although both smartphones have same 401 ppi density but Oneplus 3 display quality is just breathtaking. Keeping it simple here is the rank you should follow while considering the display quality:-
1) AMOLED 2) OLED 3) IPS LCD 4) Conventional LCDs.

Deeming Just the ‘Brand Name’
Top brands like Apple and Samsung are always given more priorities. There is nothing wrong in it but be open to other brands too while searching your next smartphone. There are many other brands who can provide you the features you want at lesser or reasonable price. For case in point, a Lenovo or Xiaomi Smartphone with similar features as Samsung smartphone can cost you little less and you get the same satisfaction as well.
