Most people don’t research phones the way they should. You are looking at a big purchase, but instead of looking at features we buy based on trends and brands. Do you even know what the megapixels and numbers all mean? Do you even care? Rather than spending $700+ on a new gadget, why not actually make sure you are getting something you’ll use, and finding a deal on it!
I’m going to cover all the things to consider to find the right phone for you.
How to Find (and Buy) the Right Phone for You
There are a few questions you should ask yourself when trying to decide on the right phone.
How Do You Use Your Phone?
Before you even start looking for a phone you need to think about how you use your current phone. Do you love to take a lot of pictures? Are you downloading every fun app you find? Or do you rarely use it and sometimes even forget to turn the ringer on?
How you use your phone will show you what is important. Do you need the fanciest camera, largest memory possible, or longest battery life?
The gamer and photographer will want a top of the line phone with fast processing speed, great camera, and lots of extra memory. All the rest of us would probably be just as happy with a different model.
Tip: If memory is important, consider a phone that has “expandable memory”. That means you can upgrade it yourself! This is NOT in Apple phones, but many android devices do have this feature.
Top of the Line or Step Down Version?
All the bells and whistles add up, but many times you don’t need the top of the line phone. Most phone manufacturers have two tiers of devices to pick from. You can get the Samsung Galaxy S line, or the step down Samsung Galaxy A line. Both phones are the same size, offer 5G, and have long battery life. You can even add more memory yourself to each phone. Price-wise, though, the fancier S line starts at $799 compared to the A line starting price of $249.
