| Seeing many of verge's articles to kinda force commoners to buy this is refreshing - cheap is good these days - for most people. > HTC That was a different time. poor cpu. These days a "almost new or good" phone from amazon warehouse for $250 P6a is good for most people. Even a decent Moto G-series for $150 is good enough for whatsapp, fb, emailing, maps, uber. Common man can live with that speed. > Conclusion? Buy an expensive phone (within reason) and use it for five years. Or longer. Buying for class/show off, gaming or every day I photograph/video my life is different. Then you need expensive. Or if you are in sales/marketing. IMHO such people with expensive devices - scratch it, break it - They don't go to client with broken device - No one that wants to have state of the art uses a phone with shattered edges. - such people also buy new-tech to keep up with tech - rich/prioritise money to phone (instead of shoe or etc). all OK. It all depends on user profile. |
