outcome? Later, regrets, troubles and sometimes even cheating. Therefore, before buying anything in the sale, definitely check these 5 important things, so that your money is not wasted and you get the right product.
Don’t fall into the trap of the old model-
Sales often offer discounts of up to 40-50% on phones that are 1-2 years old, but compared to the latest models with newer processors, longer software updates and better features, they become obsolete quickly. Due to lack of updates in future, the phone starts hanging. Therefore, always focus on new or recently launched models, even if they cost a little more.
Decide your real need first-
Many people buy it just by looking at the price, but later realize that the phone does not fit their needs. If you do gaming then high performance processor and more RAM is necessary. If you like photography then look for a good camera sensor. Choose a larger display and stronger battery for daily video watching or long backups. Choose the deal only when your requirement is clear.
Read full terms of bank offer and exchange-
Don’t get excited by offers like ‘Upto 10% extra discount’ or ‘Upto Rs.15,000 off on exchange’. Often these offers are applicable only on specific cards (like HDFC, SBI) or exchange depends on the condition of the phone. If the card is not there or the old phone is in bad condition, then the benefit becomes zero. Therefore, read the fine print of the offer carefully.
Don’t underestimate RAM and storage-Today’s apps, games and photos take up a lot of space. Nowadays, a phone with 4GB RAM or 64GB storage becomes slow even in 1-2 years. Choose a model with at least 6-8GB RAM and 128GB storage, so that the phone runs smoothly for a long time and you do not have to upgrade frequently.
Don’t ignore reviews and ratings
People order in a hurry after seeing the star rating in the sale, but by reading user reviews, the real thing comes to know, how long does the battery last, how is the camera in real life, whether the phone gets hot or not. Expert review and user feedback reveal hidden shortcomings. Always give preference to products with 1000+ reviews.
By following these 5 points, you can not only save money but also get the right and long lasting product. Take advantage of the sale, but wisely. Avoid fraud or wrong purchases and celebrate Republic Day happily.
