In this year, there has been a significant increase in the price of smartphones. Some phones with the cost shooting up around $1000 like Samsung Galaxy S8, Apple iPhone X. Are these phones worth that value? Read our article for more details!
Are these flagships worth $1000?
The first iPhone coming in 2007 cost around $499. After a decade, another generation of iPhone: Apple iPhone 8 costs $699, and Apple iPhone X is around $1000. Other giants like Samsung and Google also launch new flagship devices up to $1000 to mark their highest-end configurations. According to a recent report of GfK, the average sales of smartphone rises around 7%. Although there is a fall in the number of sales in developed market, average sale price increases. Overall, sale value has increased.
Let’s take a closer look that some flagships from the giant company Google. Firstly, we would like to mention Google Pixel 2XL. This flagship comes with some outstanding specs such as SND 835 and smart cameras. However, users might have to face with a poor display panel, which exhibited image retention, possible screen burn-in, and a color shift when viewed at an angle. Costing around $950, do you think this phone is worth your investment?
Apple and Samsung cannot escape the blame. For Apple, Apple iPhone X with new security system called FaceID creates a huge attention from phone community. However, the FaceID includes a lot of problems such as a 10-Year-Old Beat Apple’s Face ID on His Mom’s iPhone X or some issues on the new update of IOS. Besides that, Samsung Galaxy Note 8 with freezing issues when you open a contacting app really annoys users.
New flagships are coming with great specs, but at what cost?
At the moment, most of the issues have already been fixed by the producers. However, for the price tag around $1000, users should not face these problems. Let’s hope that the upcoming smartphones will be better in the technology as well as face no issues like before.
