For most people, their phone is essential for both business and work. Some time ago there was only one smartphone company on the lips of any business person: BlackBerry, the Canadian corporation which was called Research in Motion sometime back. However, a lot has changed since then, and the door has been open for other companies to compete for the enterprise business.
Currently, Apple, OnePlus, Samsung, and many others are vying for a piece of the very rewarding business smartphone pie. This competition has proved to be very beneficial for any potential business buyer. You now have very many business-friendly mobile smartphones to choose from, which allows you to select the finest handsets for your business.
Due to the many choices available, it can be difficult to choose the right smartphone for your business. Here are the top smartphones which are suitable for business use and business users.
iPhone 7
iPhones are usually popular options with an easy user interface, great design, and a wealth of business apps right at your fingertips. The iPhone 7 is a unique offering from Apple and is smarter, faster, and for the first time has a water resistant body. If you are using iPhone 6S and 6S Plus for your business, there is no need to upgrade. However, for those using older devices like the iPhone 5 and below the iPhone 7 will offer a better experience.
