Business Phones

What are Business Phones?

Thanks to the Android or iOS operating system, business phones will largely replace the work computer. Business mobile phones usually offer convenient email management, support video conferencing, multiple conversations and the use of other applications such as a VPN client. What are the advantages and disadvantages of these business mobile phones?

Employees who travel on business or abroad are likely to need GPS and data services. Business phones with 4G/LTE or 5G guarantee a high-speed internet connection even without WiFi. That is, assuming you have internet data in your contract with your operator.

Business Phones - Which Operating system is Best?

The foundation of any business phone is the operating system. Most often you will encounter Android and iOS.

1. Android is very widespread and will offer many apps in the Google Play store, including more variability in customization. Over time, you may however experience problems with system fluidity.
2. iOS is very smooth and can only be found in Apple iPhones, which are often more expensive. They work best with other Apple products and do not have an SD card slot.

The Display of Business Phones

The size of the display mainly affects the control and clarity of information. Business phones with larger displays are usually easier to use and allow for greater visibility of information. At the same time, they are suitable for various business applications or even work video calls. It is best to choose company phones according to the nature of your work.

Do you plan to hold frequent video calls? Choose a business phone with a high-quality front-facing camera.

How Long do Business Phones Last on a Single Charge?

Battery capacity is measured in milliampere hours (mAh) and determines the life of the phone and of course, business phones with a higher capacity will run longer without frequent charging. We definitely recommend choosing long-lasting mobile phones if your employees need to travel a lot. The best company phones last up to 2 days without needing recharging.

How Many Apps and Files Can Business Phones Hold?

Business phones often offer many different apps and features that require sufficient storage. Most of the time, you'll find a minimum of 16GB, which is plenty for basic functions. It should be noted that 16GB will not be enough if you want to store photos or use more apps on your phone. Consider business phones with more storage if you use multiple apps at work, take photos or want to forward any large documents.

Is Your Business Phones Too Small? Expand your storage!

You can often expand internal storage easily - just choose business phones with memory card slots. Apple iPhones do not have memory card slots. The modern option is digital cloud solutions. A popular choice for business phones is Microsoft OneDrive which also provides licences for the whole company.

• In the case of the Apple iPhone, you can only expand storage via the cloud. You can use Apple iCloud Drive directly.

How Well Do Business Phones Perform?

The performance of business phones is affected by the processor and RAM. Typically, the more cores and the higher the RAM, the faster all the processes and tasks you specify will be. If you need to multitask reliably at work, choose business phones with at least 4 cores and more than 4GB of RAM.

Business Phones with Extra Durability

Do employees work in the field or in harsh conditions? In that case, we recommend choosing durable business phones that have additional resistance to shock or are water-resistant. At the same time, employees may find an SOS button useful. In the event of an accident or other emergency, just pressing the SOS button will cause the company phone to contact the number you have enabled.
