.The Apple iPhone 7 plus is our pick for the Best Cellphone for Realtors/Real Estate Agents for the month of March 2017. The iPhone 7 Plus comes in the phablet-sized 5.5 inch screen, has one of the perfect displays out there with an industry leading 400 pixel density and sports one of the best cameras in the industry. The iPhone 7 Plus also has a robust battery backup and its iOS operating system has the most comprehensive support for applications designed for realtors and real estate agents, rightfully making it our pick as the best cellphone for realtors for 2017.
According to the National Association of Realtors 91% of realtors use their smartphones primarily for Email and internet. Also as of 2013, the vast majority (52%) of Realtors used Apple iPhones. A significant majority (36%) of realtors used an Android phones and Blackberry usage has continued to plummet to a very small minority. Even though at one point of time Blackberry was the best brand for email use, the lack of ecosystem support for applications targeted at real estate agents has dramatically reduced the preference of Blackberry devices amongst realtors.
To pick the best cellphone for realtors we looked at a host of features. Firstly, we looked at cellphone with atleast a 5.5 inch screen as they are best suited for email and showing site photographs to clients. PPI or Pixels per Inch is the industry standard for measuring screen clarity - a higher PPI figures means more life like pictures. Consequently, we limited our pick of the best cellphone for realtors to the ones with a PPI of alteast 400 - this will ensure tremendous clarity when realtors are showing site pictures to clients.
A lot of realtors spend a lot of time on the field - which warrants a good battery backup from the best suited cellphones. Consequently, we further narrowed our selection to the ones which support atleast 2800 mAH of battery life. Finally, we also made sure that our selection has a good camera rating (>12MP) as realtors often need to take and share site pictures with their clients.
The list below is our pick for the best cellphone for realtors:
