Motorola Mobility Smartphones & Mobile Phones

Today’s business smartphones are powerful mobile workstations, putting the capabilities of a computer into a device that fits in your pocket. They combine performance, connectivity and flexibility to support modern ways of working. Here are some of the features that make them indispensable across a wide range of industries.

1. Access to documents.
Important information is always at your fingertips. Whether you need to review a contract, check a presentation or access reports on the go, business smartphones keep key documents within easy reach and help you stay productive wherever you work.

2. Business apps.
From email and calendars to collaboration platforms and specialist business software, business smartphones give you seamless access to the tools you rely on every day. The same applications are available across devices, helping you stay productive wherever you work.

3. Mobile working.
With long battery life, lightweight designs and intuitive controls, business smartphones are ideal companions for people who work on the move. They simplify everyday tasks and make it easier to stay connected with colleagues and customers alike.

4. Connectivity.
Business smartphones integrate effortlessly into your existing working environment. Bluetooth connectivity makes it easy to connect printers, projectors, headsets and other devices, supporting smooth collaboration and information sharing wherever work takes place.

5. Separating the personal and professional.

Want to keep work and personal life separate? Dual SIM and hybrid SIM smartphones allow you to use two phone numbers or mobile providers on a single device, eliminating the need to carry multiple phones.

Business smartphones are trusted tools for professionals in virtually every industry. They offer impressive versatility and can be adapted to the specific needs of different roles, teams and organisations. The result is a more flexible, productive and mobile way of working.

The right business smartphone depends on your specific requirements, working environment and day-to-day tasks. Different industries place different demands on mobile devices, so it's worth considering the following factors before making a decision.

1. Always-on display. An always-on display lets you view important notifications, reminders and status information at a glance without unlocking your smartphone. For busy professionals, this can make it easier to stay informed while minimising interruptions throughout the day.

2. Manageability. If you're deploying smartphones across your organisation, consider how easily they can be managed at scale. Features such as remote management and remote locking help IT teams maintain control while keeping devices secure.

3. Processing power. A powerful processor is essential for responsive performance and smooth multitasking. For most business apps, a modern octa-core processor will provide more than enough performance.

4. Working with gloves. In industries where gloves are part of everyday work, touchscreen compatibility can save valuable time. At Bechtle, you'll find a wide range of smartphones that remain easy to use even while wearing work gloves.

5. Battery life. As a general rule, a business smartphone should support at least 13–15 hours of active use. Actual battery life varies by manufacturer and model, and some premium devices last even longer. Choose a smartphone that matches your daily workload and consider fast-charging capabilities to minimise downtime.

1. 6. Storage. Available storage is another important consideration. For most users, 64 GB is the minimum, while 128 GB is often a more practical choice. That provides ample room for apps, documents, photos and other business data. If you regularly work with larger files or store extensive content on your device, opting for 128 GB or more can be worthwhile. Additional storage options such as microSD cards may also be available depending on the model.

3. 7. Display size. The right display size comes down to how you use your smartphone. If you regularly work with documents, e-mails and business apps, a larger display can improve comfort and productivity. More compact devices are easier to carry and fit comfortably into a pocket, making them a practical choice for employees who are constantly on the move.

1. 8. Waterproof design. For outdoor work and demanding environments, durability matters. A rugged smartphone with a waterproof design offers additional protection against the challenges of everyday use.
2.  
3. 9. Camera. For teams creating content, documenting work or supporting a company’s social media presence, camera quality can be an important factor. A high-resolution main camera is generally recommended, although megapixel count alone does not determine image quality. Features such as image stabilisation and wide-angle or ultra-wide-angle lenses all contribute to better results.
4.  
5. 10. 5G connectivity. Fast, reliable connectivity is essential in modern business environments. Compared to 4G, 5G offers significantly higher speeds and improved reliability. With a 5G-capable smartphone, you can participate in high-resolution video meetings, share files in real time and access cloud resources wherever work takes you.
6.  
7. 11. Barcode scanner. In retail, warehousing and logistics environments, an integrated barcode scanner can provide a real productivity boost. It enables barcodes and QR codes to be scanned directly with the smartphone, helping streamline workflows, save valuable time and improve efficiency.
8.  
9. 12. Oleophobic coating. An oleophobic coating helps reduce fingerprints and makes displays easier to clean. This can be particularly beneficial in hospitality and other environments where devices are handled frequently. Oleophobic coatings are available on a range of smartphones, including many Apple iPhone models.
10.  
11. 13. Gesture control. Many modern smartphones support gesture-based navigation and shortcuts alongside traditional controls. These features can provide a faster and more intuitive user experience.

The right business smartphone ultimately depends on how and where it will be used. By considering these factors, you’ll be better equipped to choose a device that supports your team’s productivity and day-to-day workflows.

Data security should always be a priority, especially when using business smartphones. These devices often store, access and process both personal information and company data. That’s why it’s important to evaluate available security features before making a purchase. In the Bechtle online shop, you can filter smartphones according to your security requirements. In addition to screen locks and password protection, technologies such as fingerprint sensors and facial recognition provide further layers of security. Long-term security update support is another important consideration. Some devices, including selected Samsung Galaxy and Nokia models, receive security updates for four or five years, helping keep protection up to date over the long term.

Business smartphones come into their own when you’re working away from your desk, whether at home, on the road or at a customer site. A powerful battery helps ensure your device remains ready for use throughout the day, even when charging opportunities are limited. Whether you choose a Samsung phone, an Apple iPhone or another business device, battery life is an important consideration. In the Bechtle online shop, you'll find smartphones offering up to 13 to 48 hours of battery life, depending on the model. If battery replacement is a priority, you’ll also find smartphones with replaceable batteries, allowing worn batteries to be exchanged quickly and helping extend the device’s useful life. Wireless charging offers a convenient way to keep devices topped up throughout the working day while helping maintain a tidy workspace.

The right accessories help you get even more from your smartphone investment. At Bechtle, you’ll find a broad selection of products from and for leading brands. Headsets support clear communication while travelling or working in noisy environments. Protective cases help safeguard devices from everyday wear and tear, while powerbanks while help prevent interruptions when you're away from a charging point. Replacement batteries are also available for selected models. Wearables such as smartwatches can further expand the capabilities of your mobile workspace.

Choosing the right business smartphone means balancing performance, security, manageability and usability. Features such as barcode scanners, glove-friendly touchscreens and always-on displays can deliver significant benefits depending on your working environment. Battery life, operating systems, security features and available accessories should also play a role in your decision.
