Our life is strewn with gadgets these days but some of the flashiest ones have been mobiles and along with that comes their accessories. One can not think of a mobile handset without a battery, a phone charger, hands free, a mobile cover or a Bluetooth headset (being the latest addition). A good and useful accessory compatible to the handset helps in increasing the utility of the set. There are various local and international brands available in the market with different price tags to suit different pocket sizes. Although there is a variety of accessories vying for consumer’s attention but some of the most popular ones are those that have a daily utility.
Mobile phone charger: generally available with the purchase of a new handset but if it is lost or becomes non-functional then replacements are also available. Apart from the AC chargers traveling chargers for those who are frequently on move are also there.
Battery: they are the heart and soul of a handset and if a battery gets dysfunctional by chance then a ready replacement is not far away.
Bluetooth head set and hands free: They have become a synonym to modernity and are useful to the core. They leave the user free to work, drive and walk along with communicating on the phone. Hands free or an earphone also double up as a handy tool for mobiles that are dedicated to music as a good quality earphone, which drowns out the outside noise, is much in demand by music lovers.
Mobile covers: They provide protection to the handset from most of the physical damages and scratches. Again a wide range of mobile covers both local and branded are flooding the market. Branded and expensive leather covers, holsters, cases which can be carried otherwise tucked in the belt have become a lifestyle statement. Designer mobile pouches made with an eye on the women consumers have also made their mark. Apart from leather, manufacturers are also providing other eco-friendly options such as fabric and jute which are mostly handmade.
Back covers: Trendy back- covers in various colors help in changing the outside look of a phone if one gets bored by them. If back cover gets broken due to rough handling then too one need not worry as replacements are easily available.
Data cables: These cables can be attached to one’s system and data can be easily transferred from the system to the phone or vice-versa. This takes a very less time as compare to Bluetooth transfer or infrared transfer. It comes normally as a free addition with purchase of almost all mobile phones. An average user uses this to transfer music, videos and photographs.
Memory cards: Today mobiles come with an in-built memory with an option of expanding it to many GBs. With the increased use of phones as an mp3 player, camera and video recorder high amount of memory is much in demand. Various brands such as Sandisk, Kingston, Sony, Lexar provide options of memory cards starting form 512kb up to many GBs.
Accessories provide fun based utility and gives a new look to even an old phone. But one should be aware of the compatibility of an accessory with one’s phone before shopping for it.
