Expensive smartphones are often overpriced, and their additional features are useless for most users. This was reported by BGR.
According to the authors of the portal, in the conditions of the modern electronics market, there is no longer a need to purchase flagship phones - with a powerful chip, an outstanding camera or a premium case. “It’s nice to have all these bells and whistles, but for most users, the top versions do not always justify the additional costs,” experts emphasized.
Journalists compared expensive and affordable smartphones, noting that for basic functions - calls, instant messengers, Internet, photos - any model is equally suitable. However, they do not argue that the flagship iPhone 17 Pro is superior to the basic iPhone 17 in every way. However, the difference in price, according to the BGR editors, makes the choice in favor of the regular iPhone 17 more reasonable.
The material called the statement that the additional functions of flagships are important to most users a myth. Thus, processor power is of utmost importance only for experienced gamers, and high camera performance is of utmost importance for photographers. “If you look at it, the inflated specs of flagship phones can make you think you're missing out if you don't get one. But this is not so,” the authors concluded.
