Buying a mobile phone is quite different from buying clothes, because, when it comes to clothes, there are really very few things that you put into consideration, such as color, size and also fashion. However, in a mobile handset, you would look at its ability to function in various fronts, and it does not just stop there, as you would also look at how well it actually functions in those areas, as there are different ratings for them. An example is the 8 MP camera of Samsung Galaxy S II smart phone which comes with an inherent assurance of great picture quality and the actual picture quality once you start using it.

A phone is no longer a basic device and there are so much expectations from the features that one may very likely ask what it cannot do rather than what it ca. It is for this reason that you will do all you can to protect your phone, by buying additional accessories such as a screen protector, so that your screen stays scratch free so that you can better view your favorite videos or pictures. However, for the overall safety of the phone, you would get a case.

The applications available on the phones today have added another dimension to the functionality of the phone. These apps are a route for various inventors to add newer functionalities to the phones. Who could ever think that a phone could help you to keep in line with your fitness plan like ten years ago? But things have changed drastically, and today, you can do much more, than just entertain yourself, with your phone.

The same applies when you want to use your phone to manage your fitness as there would be no need for any extra accessories. Either use the apps that are on your phone or download the ones you like from the internet. Run Keeper is just one such popular app.

It is one that is said to help you in improving your fitness by tracking and measuring some of the fitness measures that you undertake by means of GPS. Also you could use Sporty Pal Pro that is also GPS based just like the previously mentioned app. There is also a BMI calculator that you could use so as to track your body and see if you are getting close to the targets that you set yourself. The best thing is that most of these apps are free to download and use. Just ensure that you have the case and also the screen protector for you phone, so that even if you are to work out, you would still have your phone in good condition.
