I always use the cheapest cell phones until they fall to pieces. I don't need a cell phone for more than basic things, being able to call, receive messages and little else. Social networks, administrations and things like that I prefer to do more comfortably from the PC, my old eyes are no longer able to deal with these things on a small screen and I don't really feel like it either.
I had to use cheap phones for a long time and it was pain in the ass. they always got full and ran like shit after like 1 year of use so when I finally got the chance I bought actially powerful phone. I love it. it took me 4 years to get the memory full and it's pretty much always lag free. im my last phone I has 16gb memory which got full so often that I had to factory reset them constantly to get them running even half decently. nowadays even cheap phones have fairly good specs though so I don't think it would be the case anymore and I'm most certainly not going to spend as much on my next phone as I spent on this
It's correct, but my, despite to be a €100 Phone and after 3 Years, it still works fine as it should. It's logical that it dond have a big memory, but enough for what I use it. As said, it depends on the use as in other things too, you don't need an Ferrari, if you use it only to go to the mall or for 2km to your work. At least I always buy or use the just for what I need it. If I need the Phone for an use intense, for sure I would buy one for €1.500, it's not a problem for me, but this isn't the case.
that's excellent mindset. too many people buy stuff they don't need just because they can
i usually go for midrange as i like to mess with my phones and stuff.
like i compiling large c projects, running linux desktop environments etc
