I consider myself a smart consumer, and when the time comes to upgrade to a new phone, I like to plan things out. I’m not an impulse buyer, and I try not to get caught up in all the marketing mumbo jumbo or the latest and greatest that may be overkill for me.
What I do is ask myself a series of questions that help me pick the right phone — with the right specs, at the right price, and at the right time. This makes me feel like I’m in control of the entire process instead of being swayed by emotion, which, in my opinion, is usually a recipe for disaster.
