How do you choose a business phone?
Choose a business smartphone
Ask yourself the following questions when you choose a business smartphone:
- Do you want a powerful device for demanding apps?
- Should your smartphone last long?
- How long do you want to receive security updates?
- Do you have multiple phone numbers?
Do you want a powerful device for demanding apps?
You can easily use all business smartphones available at Coolblue for apps like Outlook, YouTube, and Facebook. All these apps run smoothly and allow you to smoothly scroll through your browser and email, without the app crashing. If you use more demanding apps for photo and video editing, we recommend a more powerful device. An Android device from the Samsung Galaxy S series, for example. Do keep in mind that business phones in this range are a bit more expensive than mid-range smartphones.
How long should your smartphone last?
A business phone with a good update policy lasts longer. You'll regularly receive software and security updates, which ensures that your device always has the latest software. All business smartphones available at Coolblue will receive at least 1 software update and between 12 to 24 months of security updates. This means that your device lasts at least 2 years. Want your device to last longer? Go for a more expensive device like the Apple iPhone 12 Pro.
How long do you want to receive security updates?
It's important for your business smartphone to be well-secured. There's often private information on your device that's meant for your eyes only. If you buy a device at Coolblue, you can be sure that you'll receive monthly security updates for 18 to 24 months. This means that the device is well-secured for 1.5 to 2 years. You can also choose from more expensive devices to receive security updates for longer than 2 years.
Do you have multiple phone numbers?
If you own a company, you often use different phone numbers. A device with dual SIM allows you to use 2 different SIM cards. As a result, you can be reached via 2 numbers on the same device and can keep business and private life separate. Many business smartphones have space for 2 physical SIM cards or 1 physical SIM card and eSIM support. With eSIM, you get a digital SIM card you can activate with a code you receive from your provider. Not all providers have eSIM.
