The best business phone for you

Do you have more than 25 employees? You can choose to manage the smartphones of your employees via Mobile Device Management (MDM). On the phone, business and private apps are separated by folders and tabs. The MDM depends on the operating system. There are 2 flavors: iOS on the iPhone and Android for the other brands of phones. Support for MDM is included in iOS by default. Devices can be centrally managed in the background. Android offers several options for MDM.

You prefer to keep company information indoors. iOS is Apple's closed operating system. Android is an open system. This means you can also download apps outside the Play Store. Google only guarantees the security of apps that you download from the Play Store. There is a monthly security update for Android and iOS. How fast you can install it differs per device. Smartphones with Android One always receive security updates very quickly. Apple makes the update directly available for their devices.

Of course, as always: the higher the price, the better the specifications. Smartphones up to 250 euro are usually not suitable for intensive use in terms of speed and battery. A phone up to 500 euro has a larger battery, but the processor usually can't handle demanding tasks. Devices in the 500 to 800 euro range often have a more capable processor. Looking for a device that can handle many demanding tasks? Choose a smartphone of 800 euro or more.

Some devices have special properties, making them particularly suitable for business use. A smartphone with dual SIM has room for 2 SIM cards, which you can use separately on the same device. This way, your employees can keep business and private separate. In addition, there are sturdy ruggedized devices for working in extreme conditions. These water and shockproof devices can take a beating on a construction site or a rain shower.

A dumb phone is a phone like we know from the past. It has no camera, no e-mail, and no internet. With a dumb phone, you can only call and text. This means there is no unnecessary distraction from all kinds of interesting apps. A smartphone, on the other hand, offers many more options. You can easily and quickly keep in touch with colleagues via the internet, for example. In addition, you can easily collaborate on a presentation or report via the cloud.

A refurbished smartphone is a used device that's been fully checked and repaired with original parts. That way, you're sure you buy a 100% functional device. A refurbished device isn't just sustainable and better for the environment, it also saves you money. That's because they're more affordable than new devices. All refurbished smartphones at Coolblue are a-grade refurbished. This is the highest quality in the market. You'll also get a 2-year warranty, just like with a new device.

Smartphone Upgrade saves you a lot of money and is better for the environment. The discount you get depends on the type of device and its condition

With a leather case, you can provide your new business smartphone with a little more style. Do you often make video calls? There are smartphone cases with a stand, so you can put your phone upright. Keep your screen like new for as long as possible with a screen protector. Are you on your way to business meetings a lot? A phone mount for in the car or a power bank is a good option.
