I currently have a five year old Nokia Lumia 820. It wasn't that pricey when I got it, and it's never failed me hardware wise.
I'm currently upgrading to a new phone, the Wileyfox Swift 2, which has 2 gigs of ram, a metal body, 13mp camera, HD gorilla glass screen, NFC, "superfast charging", 1.4GHz clock speed, 64 bit system, fingerprint reader etc and this is £160. Compare to the cheapest of the new iphone which is £600, or the Galaxy S8 which is £690. What do these phones to have justify that price? What do people need those phones for to pay that price??

budget "premium" phones like your new phone do have to cut corners to get it at that price point. your phone is only 720p

Your phone is not as good and because I'm paying for a brand. Its why I wear nikes and not sketchers etc.

Well, why do people buy luxury cars? Sure, a Corolla will get you to work every day but sometimes, you want something a little extra in the way of materials and performance.

why does it matter? you enjoy your phone and let others enjoy theirs.

The guy above made the point about luxury cars, but these phones are way more commonplace than luxury cars. Of course - a phone costs less than a car. I paid top dollar for my iPhone because of the user interface/experience, build quality, and performance. A budget phone, though operational, will be lacking when compared to any current flagship device. I'm not sure why this is so confusing. --- When it is obvious that the goals cannot be reached, don't adjust the goals, adjust the action steps. - Confucius ... Copied to Clipboard!

My reasoning is I use my phone more than anything else in my daily life by a wide margin. So if I'm going to be using it the majority of the time I want the best of the best because that only makes sense.
Now if you don't use your phone very much, maybe for just calls and some texts and maybe the odd Google look up then it's perfectly fine not having the top of the line. --- "How come you can believe in God but not Bigfoot?"
