Smartphone and Cellphone Wars

[Lin Dan]

Yeah I've observed the same behavior over the past 3 years of flagship Samsung launches:
- At launch, people will resell their bnew phones about 15-20% lower than SRP
- Within 3 months, prices drop by about 35-40% of SRP
- After a year, market price is about 60% less than SRP.

So I now change phones every year after 3 months of launch of the phone I want.

It’s not really a good investment for top tier phones since yearly may nilalabas na newer and upgraded models. Unless you wish to keep yours for the next 3 years and longer or if it’s under a lock-in contract of sorts.

Treat it like a car purchase. Samsung high end smartphones are like the Camry or Accord... All the gizmos, but no re sale value.

I don't see it as an "investment"

A phone is a tool, an extension of oneself...

same inexpensive phone will do the same tricks. Flagship fanboys (kasama Apple users dito) will talk about "fluidity" & "ease of use" etc

Pero ilalabas mo ba talaga si Galaxy J sa mga event na pinupuntahan mo?

Matutuwa ka ba sa speed ng cheaper/older phone kapag nasa kotse ka?

May kanya kanyang dahilan, pangangailangan, yabang at bulsa... Kaya ibaba features+price point ng phone
