Wireless
Internet, or WiFi, has become an
increasingly important feature for
cell phones. WiFi allows users to
access email and applications that
use data, as well as browse the Internet
via the Web application. While cellular
providers' 3G and 4G networks can
also afford access to these tools,
WiFi often moves more quickly and
can be connected when you're out
of range for your provider's network
or during a BlackBerry
outage. Most smartphones with
a WiFi feature offer fairly consistent
service as long as you are near a wireless
modem.
The Samsung Galaxy Nexus is consistently
rated as among the best cell phones
with a WiFi connection. Users love
its curved display. The screen on
this phone is particularly large,
measuring nearly 5 inches diagonally.
The Galaxy Nexus phone uses the Android
operating system and can also connect
to 3G, 4G and Edge networks in addition
to wireless Internet. The phone only
offers eight hours of talk time when
fully charged, which is several hours
less than some other smartphones,
and using WiFi will deplete the battery
more quickly.
The 4th generation iPhone model
is another smartphone that is regularly
rated as among the best smartphones.
The phone has 14 hours of talk time,
and a camera with 8 megapixels which
will capture both still and video
pictures. While many cell phones
can only be purchased through one
network, the iPhone is available
through AT&T, Verizon, and Sprint.
Apple iPhones run on the iOS platform.
This particular phone is known for
its very thin screen, and it also
offer 12 hours of talk time when
the battery is charged. In addition
to getting WiFi, you can also connect
to data via 3G or 4G networks, depending
on what your provider offers. According
to PC World, this phone has very
fast data speeds. Other features
include GPS navigation and a dual-core
processor. |
