Specs then price

Am looking for Motorola Moto x

Or Moto z to buy

Fairly used

Rick9:
Specs

Nice.... +1 for specs.

PreacherX:
I check the Specs first then look at my pocket, if it's pocket friendly... There is no point in buying a phone and the end of the day you start complaining of bad camera, low Ram or bad clockspeed. Specs Abeg!

BTW does looking at specs first make you end up with a phone that is slightly above budget? I mean to an extent.

You're right, one end up buying slight above budget.

Price, then Specs.

Interesting stand point. +1 for Price

Dear Nairalanders,

Whenever you are faced with buying a new smartphone for personal use, which of these 2 options do you consider most vital in making your decision?

Price or Specs?

If you have used as many phones as I have. Youll get to a point that you no longer care. Youll see all of them as just phones. Same way you see fridges as fridges. Android,ios,10gb ram,1gb ram. At the end of the day. They re still phones

What made me realise this was when my galaxy s8 spoilt. I didnt want to spend a lot of money since I just got it recently. Then I got an s4. Tbh. I had no problem with the phone. It was still very ok phone and could do what I wanted it to do. Then I used an iphone 5. No issues. Then a BlackBerry z30. Thats when I realised the most important things in a phone re the specs that specs dont tell you about
1. Durability
2. Complimentation/balance

Nice quote call-out there.

I really like your perspective and how you approached the post though you haven't chosen any of the options and it quite understandable because one is directly proportional to the other.

SO, do you store up say 75k for any phone that catches you fancy or do you buy a phone because you love the specs and willing to fork out the asking price?

Spec wins it for me.
If you are crossed between price and spec though.

+1 for specs then. Thanks

Seems you're taking a survey??

Seems you're taking a survey??

Ofcourse, that's why am asking opinions from this very vibrant community.

As for me it's specs o. I look out for battery, RAM nd camera. Any oda tin is secondary

Specs anytime any day.

Both!!! Most low priced phone may have equal specs with high priced phones

I care for both untill I am rich, by then I will care for specifications alone.

Point blank. +1 for specs.

So meaning, you get a phone that you like the specs then try to make the asking price as friendly as possible before you buy. Good.

southome:

+1 for specs.

Thanks for the input.

...but do they perform as well as those highly priced ones?

But you have to choose one now before you are very very rich.

I consider my budget first, then look for the best specs within the range.

Some really wise words here. Nice one.

Facts man. Cos if u spend cash once on a Samsung(or high quality) product, u will be sure of using it for a long time(unless u get careless), but u will treat tecno product like an egg n it will still spoil and to repair will give u headache. U end up noticing that if u bought a Samsung product maybe 100k u coulda used it maybe 3 years(b4 selling it) but u end up buying 4 or 5 tecno products in the same 3 years and u end up spending more and also going thru soo much stress

Quality over quantity. I feel you.

Spot on Bro.. Thats what people never understand...

....and these priced phones normally come with good specs so in the end, it's almost a win-win.

But don't have you or anyone come across priced phones that don't last the test of time? Just asking...

I would buy a phone because of its brand's name. The reason is because of durability and spare parts availability. When techno first came out, I bought d tab and it didn't last up to 6 months. I tried to repair it, I even had to send it to Lagos for repairs all to no avail. After that, I bought a Samsung phone ie Samsung Grand. I used it for two years ie 2014-2016 without any problem. My husband bought me an iPhone 6 and I had to sell d Samsung. I have been using d IPhone since January 2016 till date. No problem has arised whatsoever. I think when one wants to go for a phone, the person should first consider d brand. Brands matter a lot. Not just any brand but d one that has stood the test of time. Not all those China headache giving phones. In this your survey, I choose the price cus most phones with good brands are expensive.
