THE CHOICE OF SMARTPHONE IS A QUESTION
of priorities. Some devices support the latest in
accounting and finance apps or provide greater
battery life. Others favour display size and
clarity to make screen time less taxing. Here are
six smartphones for accountants to consider.
1. Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5
This smartphone’s key selling point is its screen.
Accounting work relies on close attention to
detail, and a smartphone with a large 7.6-inch
foldable screen is hard to beat for number
crunchers who need to meet deadlines on the
move. The Galaxy Z Fold 5 includes multitasking
tools and a stylus for ease of use. As a bonus,
there is a 6.2-inch screen that can be used when
the smartphone is closed.
2. Apple iPhone 15 Pro Max
Where Apple’s iPhone 15 Pro Max really shines
is in its battery life. It offers up to 29 hours of
video playback on a single charge and is ideal
for people whose work might mean they go a
long time between charges. The 15 Pro Max also
comes with a superlative 6.7-inch super retina
display and the high performance synonymous
with iPhones.
