What makes you choose a new device?
Preferred Brand..
The manufacturer you have always bought because you never had any issues before. You trust them to deliver you a product that works well and is reliable. Everything is where it should be and you have come to expect a safe and pleasant experience.
Looks..
Like the picture above. The Optimus G has the looks, with a matte black finish at the rear, made with some crazy crystal reflection material, not even sure what I typed there. Looks great but is it enough of a deal breaker to make you choose it over…….
Top Specs..
Get the benchmark applications downloaded. It’s time to test this bad boy against all other devices on the market. I want to show off to my friends (that are probably only online) that this phone has the best scores around. Saying that, a high end device that runs the top games, multitasking, zero lags or slow downs. Is actually pretty important because you want your phone to actually work. Do you look at the chipset and RAM first?
Fast Updates..
Only buy devices that get upgraded in a timely fashion. A few big hitters probably know that their device will be updated in a timely manner and feel safe in the fact that they’ll get updated again with future new versions. (Not just Nexus devices. SGS3 getting Android 4.1 very soon, if the rumors are true)
Price..
Phones a phone. You only use it for text and calls maybe the odd Facebook share. The £150ish device you buy with cash at Phones 4 U and stick a 02 SIM card in Pay As You Go. I’ll call this the wife or mum phone. It has it’s place in the mid market where a few decent phones can be found.
