My approach to phone buying.
1) I use whatmobile or any alternative to short list phones in my budget.
2) Based on their release dates, I select the latest ones, not more than 3-6 months old. This is very important for resale point of view.
3) I read Gsmarena reviews by their team, not the user reviews and select the most suitable according to my requirements.
Am I the only one who uses these type of selection criteria?.
