Not every Android phone is created
equal. Each have their own design or spinoff to try and make them
unique, to stand out among the rest of the Android army. I've gone
through my fair share of Android devices; the original Droid 1, Droid
X, Samsung Fascinate, and the Thunderbolt. They all had their own
reason for customers to buy, the Droid X offered something new to Verizon Android
phones, it offered a huge screen (well back when 4.3” was
considered big). I was all about it, I bought it the day after it
came out and instantly claimed it to be the best. Then the
Thunderbolt rolled out and the internet was lit up with talk about
the new 4G LTE network, so of course I went and bought it, but I failed to read any reviews. I assumed well if the phone's $300 it has to be the best. Every
month a new phone will come out demanding to be #1, boasting state of
the art technology and features. Each company trying to appeal to
their directed audience, to gain your attention with something bold.
Sometimes the biggest and fastest doesn't always equate to the best.
This is when it comes down to your own
personal preference, what do you look for in a phone? It's not always
about the power behind the screen, it's more about what you want to
do with your device. If you're someone who enjoys browsing the web,
downloading the occasional app, and texting, you don't necessarily
need the 1.5ghz dual core processor, with a 12 megapixel camera, and
32 GB of memory. Too many people take the motto “you get what you
pay for” too seriously. Sometimes you're going to pay $50 for the
Samsung Stratosphere and come out with a better experience than you
would if you spent $300 on the Galaxy Note. Keep this in mind when
you go out and buy a new phone, figure out what you truly want to do
with your phone otherwise you'll spend too much and fall victim to
buyers remorse.
