Hey everyone, this - as you could see on the title - is a guest post from writer: Ms. Lenny Marlina (Nina Lia) of (http://mightytechnews.wordpress.com/).
Your smartphone may be one of the biggest
investments you make this year, but that doesn't mean it has to be your most
expensive purchase. With the price points on mobile devices climbing sky high
(and their data plans, too), it’s more important than ever to make sure that
you’re getting the most value for your money. Which smartphone gives you the
best return for your money? Keep reading to find out.
Starting with the most recent release, the Blackberry Z10 is the
all-touch screen phone released by the retailer primarily known for its trusty
keypads and business-friendly phones. The Z10 packs plenty of surprises,
including a new operation system, BB10, as well as an improved interface
capable of running up to eight apps at a time. The most pleasant surprise of
all, however, might just be the price; the Blackberry Z10’s
price starts at just under P30,000.
For loyal Apple customers, there may not be
anything quite like an iPhone. This mobile model has changed very little
throughout its generational span, and the iPhone 5 holds true to this design
pattern. However, Apple enthusiasts will readily notice even the small tweaks,
such as a new “low-light” mode for the phone’s camera, or the faster shutter
speed. But with prices starting at P35,400, it’s hard to believe that the iPhone 5 can beat any other smartphone
in price.
The newest release from Samsung is a waterproof version of its Galaxy S4. While the original
phone garnered reviews for its specs--namely, its large screen and excellent
video playback quality--the Active logs extra points for accident-prone users.
This spec is worth the money alone, if you find yourself dropping your very
expensive smartphone into water often; reportedly, you can leave this one fully
immersed in water for up to half an hour without any damage. And with a price around P27,990, it’s on par with Blackberry’s Z10 and less expensive than its Apple
counterpart.
Also known as Windows Phone 8, this Nokia update is being marketed as
the device that functions as a camera first, then a phone. It does provide a
stunning F2.0 lens, as well as features like image stabilisation and a
low-light setting. But what astounds consumers the most about this phone is the
price. It’s the lowest on our list, at around P27,000.
Of course, if you’re trying to assess the true cost of a smartphone,
the sale price is just the beginning. You can almost always get these phones
for a fraction of their respective costs by signing on for a plan at the time
of purchase. And when it comes to paying for data, there are ways to make your
phone bill cheaper if you don’t have an unlimited data plan. Always look for
wifi hotspots that you can tap into instead of using your phone’s data, for
example, or bookmark mobile-optimised websites to save on data usage.
Thank you so much Lenny! <3
