Marketers make a great advertising that compels people to buy flagship smartphones. But now you have no reason to buy expensive smartphones. We will tell you 5 reasons to abandon the purchase of flagship smartphone.
1. High price
The price of modern flagship smartphones starting from $800, while the similar smartphones from less well-known brands cost about $300. Why do you need to pay more than twice as much, if smartphones have the same functionality?
2. You do not need flagship technology
Advertising companies of famous brands pay attention to megapixels, processor, RAM and numbers in benchmarks. We give some examples of why they do not make sense.
- The processor of new flagship smartphone has become twice as powerful? In fact, it does not affect the speed of smartphone. Much more important is optimization of operating system.
- The camera got more megapixels? Perhaps detailing became better, but picture quality in general does not change. Often a large number of megapixels leads to excessive noise in the picture. Much more important is the physical size of matrix. The larger size of matrix, the better picture quality.
- RAM has increased to 4GB? 2GB of RAM enough for comfortable use of smartphone (productive games, music, web surfing). Let us not forget that smartphone and computer are different things.
- 4K display instead of Full HD? It is commendable, but in practice it is almost impossible to tell the difference.
3. Middle class smartphone is not worse than flagship
In fact, only the real geeks can be distinguished the middle-class smartphone from flagship. Large, bright, colorful screen, fingerprint reader, metal body, good camera, good performance – all of this can be found in the device for $300.
4. It makes no sense to buy flagship
Most people buy the flagship smartphones to communicate in social networks, make selfie with food, listen music and play games. Any smartphone middle class will be able to cope with these tasks. So why pay more?
5. Flagship quickly become obsolete
Manufacturers of smartphones update their flagship models every year. Thus, if you buy flagship smartphone of this year, then a year later it will not be a flagship. And what to say about the company Sony, which produces the flagships every 6 months? If you cannot keep up with flagship characteristics, then why do it at all?
What is the result?
Flagship is a choice of geeks and people who have a lot of money for crazy technologies. If you use smartphone to communicate in social networks, listen to music and take pictures of food for Instagram – it is not necessary to spend $800 for smartphone. If you buy mid-range smartphone, you still have the money to buy extra accessories, such as headphones, Bluetooth-column, protective case, etc.
