Is it a good time to buy a high-end smartphone?

Yesterday a friend called me on the phone in the middle of the afternoon to talk to me, remember old times and to throw a question on the air, which today gives the title to this article; Is it a good time to buy a high-end smartphone?. The question that at first seemed quite absurd and I answered it without hesitation, it has served to generate a question over the hours that I think I have been able to resolve and that I am going to show you in this, I hope that an interesting article .

Right now in the market the high-end is in full swing and with a large number of members from most of the major companies in the mobile phone market. It may seem like a good time to acquire a terminal of the so-called high-end, but we will try to explain it.

Are the high-end smartphone presentations over?

At the speed that the mobile telephony market is moving right now, we could say without a doubt that the presentations of high-end smartphones are not over, since they practically overlap each other. It has been a few months since we experienced the presentation of the Samsung Galaxy S7, LG G5 or Xiaomi Mi5 and the first rumors about the relays of these devices have already begun to appear.

Samsung is already preparing the Galaxy S8 and Xiaomi, for example, has already presented a new smartphone such as the Xiaomi Max, which will try to overshadow other high-performance devices. In the month of September, for example, we will see the iPhone 7 enter the scene, so at this time, it seems that it is not the most appropriate time to acquire an iPhone. In 4 months the new Apple mobile device will be on the market, with great news and the price of the iPhone 6 and No products found. will go down to a great extent.

Discarded the iPhone, what about the terminals of the other companies?

In the case of the iPhone, it seems clear that right now is not the best time to acquire one of these terminals, but in the case of other mobile devices, the situation is somewhat different. And is that the Samsung Galaxy S7 or LG G5 have only been on the market for a few months, specifically since March in most cases.

It is foreseeable that LG, Samsung, Sony and many other large companies will not present a new flagship again until at least the next Mobile World Congress, which will not be held, once again in Barcelona, ​​until next March of the year. 2017. For all this, most of the flagships with Android operating system still have a fairly long journey on the market or at least a few months.

The price of high-end smartphones is currently at its highest point, although if money is not a problem and what you want is to enjoy, the longer the better, your high-end terminal, this is the right time to acquire it. If we wait, we can see how the price is reduced, but also how the date is approaching when the new flagship of the current company will arrive on the market in an official way.

Is it a good time to buy a high-end smartphone?

I've had to think about the answer to this question for a long period of time, but I've decided that the proper answer is that it is never a good time to buy a high-end smartphone. And it is that if we acquire it as soon as it reaches the market, we will have to pay the highest possible price for it. If we wait, the price will go down, but we will see how in a few months we are no longer fully updated and on the crest of the wave.

If we want to have a high-end smartphone, regardless of the price, we must acquire the device as soon as it reaches the market. If money is a problem as for most users, we should not pretend to always be on the crest of the wave of telephony and it is that for this, unfortunately it is essential to have money.

Many of us just want a good terminal, of the so-called high-end, but without always being up to date. In that case, it will be enough to not focus on the large flagships and look a little further, and the high-end range is made up of a huge number of devices, of a great quality, which in some cases we can buy them for quite low prices.

Opinion freely

I have always defended that acquiring a mobile device as it arrives at the market is to be able to enjoy a great end before many others, but it also means losing a number of euros with this movement. And the market is full of smartphones with more than outstanding features, specifications and design for any user, without having to be the latest of the latest.

For example, buying a Samsung Galaxy S7 edge right now means having probably the best terminal available on the market, but it also means making a large outlay of money, so that in a few months the Galaxy S8 and we are no longer on the crest of the wave.

I sincerely believe that the answer to the question we ask ourselves today has an answer for each of us.. Sometimes I sincerely believe that it is a mistake to buy a high-end smartphone at any time and at other times I believe that waiting is the wise decision. I myself have failed myself and it is that I acquired not too long ago buying a flagship the first day it hit the market, which I do not regret, for now, although I know I did not do the right thing or so I think right now .

To many this article will seem like a real nonsense, because I have changed my mind on several occasions, but I am convinced that it will surely have served you to draw some conclusions and especially to know that it is never a good time to buy a smartphone from the so-called high-end.
