So true @OP, here in Nigeria you even name see some peeps with a N150k iPhone 6 but who rarely have up to N500 in airtime on the phone. Peeps want to just feel among the crowd and oppress their peers.

Bought this HTC One Max in Dubai and I have used it really well for 16 months and because of advise like this I continue to use it until the phone switched off and hasn't woken up for 3 weeks. We don't have to wait for that to happen,if we have money to get a better phone,please don't hesitate. Now the new Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge Plus, makes me go crazy right now. Common!

Here are 12 reasons you think you need a new phone that are actually reasons you don’t.

1. Your ‘old’ phone is two years old
Not 4, Not 5, Two, TWO!

2. Your screen is cracked
Your phone’s not broken…your screen is. Just get the screen repaired and you’ll save several Thousands of Naira.

3. You have Some Thousands Naira to spare
You just got a bonus? A tax refund? A gift from your overly-generous grandmother? Instead of spending it on a smartphone you don’t need…Why don’t you buy a new laptop? Because a new smartphone is approximately the same price as a new laptop. Think about that for a moment.

4. You have a NEED FOR SPEED
Yes, new smartphones are faster, slimmer, and sexier. But do you really need a speedier smartphone? Why? So you can load up Clash of Clans 1.2 seconds faster? Because the last time I checked, sending a text isn’t any faster on a Samsung Galaxy S6 than it is on a Samsung Galaxy S4.

5. You’ve dropped your old phone a million times
That means it’s time for an upgrade, right? Wrong. All that means is that you’re probably going to drop your shiny new phone the second you get it.

6. You have unlimited data
If you’re one of the lucky few who still has a true unlimited data plan, you might be thinking it’s a good idea to get a new phone and take full advantage of all those gigs. But while it’s possible to switch phones and keep your unlimited plan… It’s not guaranteed. After all, Mtn really want to “accidentally” kick you off your unlimited plan.

7. You need a bigger screen
You don’t.

8. You need a smaller screen
You don’t!

9. You live in a bad neighborhood
Nothing says ‘rob me’ like a shiny new smartphone!

10. You’re running out of storage space
Try deleting all those Bathroom selfies and Videos of your Dog… or upgrading your microSD card.

11. It’s so pretty
Ohh, look, the Samsung Galaxy S6 comes in emerald! Your old phone is black, so clearly you need to upgrade ASAP. Except…you’re going to put a case on it, right? Here’s an idea: just buy a new case for your old phone and voila—it’s so pretty!

12. It just came out
New smartphones come out all the time. If you can hold off for a year, or even just six months, chances are you’ll get a much better deal on that shiny new handset (although you may want the newest model by then, in which case I can’t help you).

Re: 12 Reasons You Really Don’t Need That New Phone by HyDef(m): 7:16pm On Sep 27, 2015
Sorry to say. Points 1, 4, and 10 can jump off a cliff.

My phone will be 2 years old in January. With time, performance drops. Whether you're on an S6 or a Galaxy Note 2. My phone, a Tecno S5 has really started slowing down. It's not that I never noticed it, it's just that performance drops. Even electrical components experience wear.

I do need the speed because my phone was already low-end even when I bought it. It's lower end now. I need a new one. It takes 20 seconds to launch Opera Mini. I'm not joking. I'm not exaggerating. I have 512MB of RAM in 2015. Yes. I have to upgrade.

Storage? I have a 32GB SD card. It was one of my best purchases to date seeing as my phone comes with 4GB internal storage with only 1GB usable. Even at that, my 32GB is not enough. I have to constantly delete things. If there are phones with 64GB of internal storage AND a microSD slot, why shouldn't I upgrade?

All your other points can be said to be valid though.

This time I'm upgrading to something high-end. Then I can use my phone for more than 2 years cuz it won't get obsolete as fast. Probably 3 years. :p
