Be as tech-savvy as you want any time you want

In this fast-paced era of technology, one gadget is in the window and the other is out of the market before you can even gauge all the features of the outdated one in detail. This holds true especially in case of mobile phones. Most of us remember the days when a Nokia phone fulfilled our tech-savvy purposes well enough, especially that of withstanding the toughest and harshest of climes and treatments. The sturdy phone still has its place in the market. But newer and better technology has taken the world by storm.

After the emergence of touchscreen phones, they became a norm everywhere. Even the staunchest of practical phone users were converted to touchscreen phones. The war of which one is better than the other is always raging and always will. Android users are steadfast in their loyalty to the brands and Apple users claim that they are never going to convert to another brand as long as they live. Wherever your preferences lie, there is always room for a compromise after trial and error, leading to a new favorite.

Nowadays it is much easier to buy phones on good deals. In Qatar, the mobile phone market has committed customers who wait for the launch of updated versions fervently; the launching day of new phones sees an influx of clients lined up to get the coveted gadgets.

This trend of rapid upgrading of phones comes as pleasant news to most people who just want to dabble first before deciding which phone to stick to. Many instances show that frequent buyers of latest gadgets and phones tend to use them carefully and move on to the newest upgrade as soon as it’s out; in most cases, not more than 6 months. They are no need of the previous model anymore. These gadgets are in prime condition, but just because of their resale value, there is a marked decrease in their prices.

I personally don’t buy the latest model of phones because that is not my preference. What works is what’s good for me. The most time period I will use a phone for is when it starts to really drag on the data, starts freezing, or its battery life dims down. Then it’s time to move onto the better version.

Users who want to sell their almost new phones advertise them online and get lost of interested buyers pretty swiftly.

Are you an Apple user or an Android enthusiast? And what are the reasons you stick to your choice?

Maybe your preferences include a certain kind of phone camera, or the ability to use unlimited apps.

If you want to sample new versions at a lesser rate than at the market, search at online portals. You can start at this portal as there are more than 10,000 entries of gadgets and phones here
