budget

1- Ask yourself: for what do I want it? Don’t buy the most expensive device, if you just want to check the news and keep in touch with friends. Any device provides you the functionality for that, even the lowest range of smartphones.

2- Ask yourself: how much do I want to spend? If money is not an issue for you, congratulations. Otherwise, set a budget and stick to it. Also remember that the latest hot Android smartphone released is just the second tier smartphone of tomorrow. Normally, you get more for your buck if you buy a device that has been for some time in the market.

3- Ask yourself: contract or pre-paid?  Do you want to pay little or nothing for your smartphone at the beginning and then  pay every month the purchase of the device? Or, otherwise, you are willing to pay in advance for the device, knowing that you’ll save in the long run, since you won’t use it much? In the former case, go with contract. In the later, with pre-paid.

These first points are, above all, to guide you economically in the purchase of an Android smartphone, personally I see no reason to buy an expensive device and getting what you don’t really need. In almost all cases, it is never wrong to buy a lower-middle range Android smartphone, since they are good enough for most purposes.
