8 REASONS WHY INVESTING IN AN EXPENSIVE PHONE ISNT A BAD
IDEA
Its 2016, economic crunch and all, process are sky
rocketing, there is a dollar crisis, and the laws of demand and supply are
beginning to go against every rule in the book. It has begun to get to the
extent where people are forced to look inwards and ask themselves the question,
what I really need this and this for. At first instance this article was
supposed to be an insight into how budget phones are a good alterative but we
kind of sat back and said hey, let’s be real here high end phones always win,
however you look at it, they spend a longer time in fashion, they do the most
work, they last longer and most of the time they are highly upgradable. Now
here is a well worked upon list of 10 reasons why we think so here at
#AbsoleTechBlog that your money is worth more investing in that high end phone.
1)
Social status; well there is reason why they
call it, ‘’handset, it’s always going to be in your hands, and hello, everyone
is going to see it, I mean, hey, it’s
right there in your hands, your most obvious appendage. I hate to be the one to
break it down for you, but we are a social class people and we will judge you
by what you use. At social events, parties, get together everyone is going to judge
your social status by that one thing, yes, I am sorry, not my fault, they are
going to judge you by what handset you use.
2)
Quality; cheap always means lower quality, argue
from now until tomorrow, only cheap people will say different. low budget phone
companies always find the cheapest way to break even, they use the cheapest
processors, cheapest cameras, cheapest kind of batteries, and off course
cheapest kinds of screens, I mean, how else did you think that they were going
to be able to come up with a phone under 30k, brand new, and not to forget
accessories, nothing is more annoying than opening a new phone plugging in the
ear phones and listening to that terrible sound quality coming from those cheap
head phones
3)
Longevity; flagship companies, worry a lot about
reputation, hence the investment in durable material that can stand the test of
time, scratch resistance, water resistant; like the Samsung galaxy s edge and a
host of other flagships, we aren’t going to waste precious time here stating
the obvious in the quality difference between the longevity standards of the
high end flagships to the budget handsets.
4)
Cheap phones are getting complacent; the
complacency and the boredom exhibited in these low budget phones can be heart wrenching,
I mean you could pick 10 different low budget phones and there would be no
major difference between them, you would think all the devices were made in the
same factory, oh well, probably they were, just saying. This
5)
Performance; most of the low budget devices out
there run on 1.3ghz processor speed or less, the clocking on this devices when
put to test usually live up to their ratings’, but they are in no way as fast
as their bigger colleagues in that line, I mean an iPhone 5 is also clocked at
1.3ghz but the speed is like comparing a turtle to a Chinese speed bullet train.
6)
Resell value; when it comes to the value of a
device, you want to make sure after you get bored and want to upgrade you can
still get good money in return for your device. At least for more than a year
now, the iPhone 5s has maintained its second hand value at 65-70k in the market,
there is no way that won’t go a long way for a 5s user who wants to upgrade to
an iPhone 6 at 120k. It’s a good choice for upgrade and also a good opportunity
to do so. Let’s not imagine what the buyers would tell you if you want to
resell a low budget phone. Franky anyone who wants to go low budget would
always consider either preowned phones or better still a brand new low budget
phone for the time being.
7)
Update-ability; low budget phones re not
updateable. End of story.
8)
Camera; the camera is my favorite part, most of
the time everyone has a phone, has a story. There is never an opportunity to
get a snapshot without flipping out your camera. Things happen and everyone
wants to save the moment and whoever thought up the idea of putting a camera
right in the middle of a phone had a great idea. From all the police brutality videos,
to a dress crisis of Beyoncé and Rihanna on the stage, every phone user’s fantasy
is to be the one to upload that one viral video, and believe it or not nothing
could be more hellish than thinking you got a good picture shot or video and
playing back to relive it was crappy. Nothing in this world is as bad as a once
in a life time opportunity picture and you check to look at how cool the selfie
you had to risk your life to take was actually a blurry ufo picture, that phone
will eat the dust. High end phones are usually designed to the maximum to have
the best most efficient camera till date. From the iPhone 6splu to the Samsung s7edge
All that said and done I think although we just gave you a bunch
of reasons not to go budget, but to be honest there is only 1 reason you go
there in the first place is, well, BUDGET, so there is no reason to go down
that path if your wallet can handle some real current generation flagship,
which will be absolutely worth it once you are able to recover from your wallet
surge. To put it clearly, an iPhone 6s a galaxy s7edge, Nexus 6P, will always
outwork and outshine a cheap low budget handset.
To conclude, quite frankly the performable and features of
some of the low budget phones are something to pause for a minute about, we
still believe the choice is still absolutely yours. Each situation and
circumstance is different and it’s still ultimately up to you to decide what’s
best for your usage.
