Buy what fits your usage. If you really want to go bare minimum....and don't use cell phone circuitry for making a voice call, get a tablet with cellular option added, and buy data as you need it. Cellular data last year, I spent $20 on a tablet's cellular connectivity for all the data I needed. T-Mobile has a 5 gig or 180 days (whichever comes first) for $10. WiFi handled the rest. Apps can supply VOIP calling over that data connection, and give you a phone number to be reached at. That being said, I do have 1.5 year old phone technology (still in the working world for ~10+ years). It's my desktop/laptop replacement 90% of the time, and I do have to make/take phone calls many times/day.
Sure a 2 and half year old phone performance is matched by today's mid-range. That makes sense. My point was that 2.5 years out (after it's been paid off) it's still a very usable phone and will be for another two or so years. Spreading the cost over 4 years makes the flagship price a lot easier to swallow. Because I want it is a perfectly valid reason; For me anyhow. No one I know personally uses all the horsepower of their flagships but it's shiny and new.
Our only disagreement is in the because I want it area, or rather I want it but not bad enough to swallow the $600 new phone premium over the 2-3 years of ownership (4 no). That $600 money goes instead to stereo equipment or rare French razors which I do buy simply because I want it, a great reason if you got the $ Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk
Status symbol or waving an e-###is. Wouldn't the best camera be a camera? The Moto G7 has good battery life, a nice display, multi-carrier support (Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile, and many others), is unlocked, and costs $250. I have had Moto G series for my last two phones, and they are great!
So funny.The best camera in a mobile device is obviously what I meant. Sent from my LG-US998 using Tapatalk
Please be more specific--your car stereo could be considdered a mobile device...unless that's what you were talking about. But if so why would you need a camera in your car stereo? I think you owe us all an explanation. Sent from my LM-Q720 using Tapatalk
My point was that smartphone cameras are not as good as a regular camera due to the size constraints, or will be much more expensive. For some folks, it might cost less overall to save some $$$ on the smartphone and buy a camera for when higher-quality photographs are needed.
Sure. People go the other way, spending on the smartphone camera, so that they have the best possible with them at all times. I know for me the times when my smartphone camera is not good enough are pretty much non existent. Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk
