As the title indicates, there are two distinctive issues that need to be addressed here \u2013 (1) The best smartphones of 2016 and (2) How small businesses can benefit from using smartphones.<\/p>\n

As for the issue Numero Uno, it’s hard to endorse any single smartphone as the best, because smartphone ‘A’ may be the best in performance but is too pricey for small business owners.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, smartphone ‘B’ may be quite affordable for a small business owner\u00a0but have a very poor battery life.<\/p>\n

As for the issue number two, there are\u00a0hundreds of reasons\u00a0for a small business owner to own\u00a0a reliable smartphone.<\/p>\n

Nevertheless, one of the prime reasons for small business owners having a smartphone is the reality that more and more consumers will benefit from it today, as well as, in the future.<\/p>\n

So, the best option would be to display the features of some of the outstanding smartphone models that have appeared in the market in 2016, so that the user can pick and choose what suits him\/her best.<\/p>\n

Here are some of this year’s smartphones that are likely to become helpful for small business owners seeking to be more productive<\/a> and better connected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\t\n\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t

HTC One A9<\/a><\/h3>\n

\"HTC<\/p>\n

If you don’t mind the cost (pretty pricey), you could select this product for its overall performance.<\/p>\n

Best known for its closeness to the iPhone 6 (design-wise), it runs Android 6.0 Marshmallow, with a hint of HTC Sense, thus making it most user-friendly.<\/p>\n

Featuring AMOLED display and a superior camera, this product also boasts an admirable fingerprint scanner. Moreover, it has a robust body, yet is quite handy and easy to operate.<\/p>\n

Huawei Honor 7<\/a><\/h3>\n

\"Huawei<\/p>\n

It’s an affordable yet has all the features that you get in a higher-priced smartphone.\u00a0Huawei Honor 7\u00a0has 5.2\u201d display, well-built structure, as well as, a fingerprint scanner and a camera.<\/p>\n

When you add all these with adequate power, you will get the true taste of Honor 7 in its elements. In short, you get performance galore at affordable\u00a0price.<\/p>\n

Sony Xperia Z5<\/a><\/h3>\n

\"Sony<\/p>\n

Fairly updated Sony flagship device that comes with new 23 mega-pixel sensor and a waterproof case.<\/p>\n

Punched with plenty of power, it’s no doubt a very good performer, albeit dampened by sluggish software that hampers the UX to some extent.<\/p>\n

Nevertheless, it can be improved with app substitution, but in its present state the Z5 seems to\u00a0require a lot of updating before it can come at par with other high-end devices.<\/p>\n

Motorola Moto G (3rd generation)<\/a><\/h3>\n

\"Moto<\/p>\n

This smartphone proves far more superior than the first Moto G or some of its later versions.<\/p>\n

Even though its design has undergone thorough refinement, it is still in a stocky form, the 3rd generation Moto G could be a pride possession for most small business owners.<\/p>\n

It’s water resistant and can be customized in a number of ways in its after-market life.<\/p>\n

However, this Moto G has better battery life, improved camera performance and a rare Android experience with many software enhancements. So it’s a great fit for small business owners.<\/p>\n

Blackberry Priv<\/a><\/h3>\n

\"Blackberry<\/p>\n

Blackberry’s first android smartphone, which, incidentally, is a staid handset meant for people who value their handsets more, regardless of whether they are serious Blackberry fans or not.<\/p>\n

The Blackberry Priv is a slider handset with a remarkable 5.4\u201d display, providing all the benefits of contemporary Android features, complete with an actual keyboard that proves to be a regular feature with all Blackberry devices.<\/p>\n

This, no doubt, has resulted in innovative smartphone that offers quite a few user-friendly facilities.<\/p>\n

Motorola Moto X Play<\/a><\/h3>\n

\"Motorola<\/p>\n

Its benefits arise mostly out of the massive battery that the parent company has put in it and so offering some of the best fortitude you ever find in an Android handset.<\/p>\n

As a result, this will keep on operating not only throughout the day and the night (ideal for night birds) but also for the following day.<\/p>\n

Huawei Mate S<\/h3>\n

\"Huawei<\/p>\n

The best Huawei device ever produced by the company. It boasts a 5.5\u201d display at amazing 1920 x 1080 pixels.<\/p>\n

Even though it has some innovative features through which you can remove the android navigation buttons in place of hard presses, it can never match with those that are found in Apple 6 with 3D touch.<\/p>\n

LG G4<\/a><\/h3>\n

\"LG<\/p>\n

Literary a big phone. However, it reflects three basic qualities but lacks in battery life.<\/p>\n

Even though it has a brighter Quad HD screen and a new processor into the mix, its 3000m Ah battery falls far too short of providing an adequate service.<\/p>\n

However, the problem can be solved because the battery is removable, thus giving you the opportunity of swapping it when needed.<\/p>\n

Nexus 5X<\/a><\/h3>\n

\"Nexus<\/p>\n

More cost effective as compared to the Nexus 5. Even though it has a plastic body, it feels quite robust albeit lacking the great feel that most high-end smartphones are endowed with.<\/p>\n

There is, however, great performance from the unsullied Android 6.0 Marshmallow software that it launches with and although it’s not the greatest machine for gaming or multimedia, as a daily communicator, this Nexus 5X offers fuss-free efficiency.<\/p>\n

Apple iPhone 6S Plus<\/a><\/h3>\n

\"Iphone<\/p>\n

This smartphone provides you with the advantages of 3D touch display, with plenty of interaction, faster Touch ID experience \u2013 all backed by more efficient software.<\/p>\n

Small business owners who are looking for a dependable, yet affordable smartphone would benefit from buying this device.<\/p>\n

Have you already made up your mind which smartphone you are going to buy?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n
