But I know some set of people who will always go for the new generation of phones. It is like a yearly ritual that they must buy the latest model of their phone. I have seen some go as far as buying these phones on credit because they don't have enough funds to pay. The most troubling part of it is that they are not using these phones for business or any productive activities.

The right argument. Just look at the iPhone brand and now they have released a new product again, Of course with new features and appearance. For owners with ordinary performance levels, I think the standard one can be used as long as the internet quota is always ready.

But, if you are playing graphics and trading, the speed capacity in optimizing the network is also very necessary. So my conclusion is that it depends on each person's personal needs.

Yeah, they now how to trap their consumers, releasing new one in less than a year, Moore's law.

And so that is what this big companies are programming us, that in the next year, you need to buy a new phone from us. And the thing is that there no new features to begin with. So for me, as long as my phone is working, i.e. receiving text message and phone calls, so No, I wouldn't buy a new one.

I know that it's a sign of social statues in some countries, but for those who are frugal and not into what is the latest, then they will not upgrade their phone until it's broken.
