You probably want to replace your current device or want a second one, but making a purchasing decision on a smartphone can be exhausting. It becomes tougher if you don’t know exactly what you want in a smartphone. For some, the biggest needs in a phone might come from functionalities such as - camera, speed (RAM), battery capacity and memory space (storage). For others, it might be the cosmetic feel of how the device looks.

In today’s market, two options largely present itself -  A new phone or a used one. No doubt it is an interesting but tough choice to make as you have to consider the value of the device against the monetary commitment you have to make.
