Ok so if you have a Budget around $200-$300 you can go for a mid range smartphone or you can go for a flagship smartphone from 2 years ago. So what should you do?



So let's compare.



Hardware:

So in hardware you can find more strong processor in a flagship from 2 years ago. A better build quality with glass and more.

And in a mid range you can find new materials or new design etc. So we are giving the flagship one a  point.



Camera:




In general now days mid range phones have a quad cam or penta can setup. But the flagy from 2 years ago will have 1 or 2. But you get a lot of advantage, like premium video quality with stabilization, the more strong optical lenses for zoom and a over all crispy sharp photos. But in mid range you get some extra fun to use extra cams. So here I prefer the main cam's performance more. So we are giving flagship a point.


Performance:

So the flagships will always have a stronger chips but comparing 2 years, you will get I think the same experience in performance. Cause you're getting a new chip but with low performance but on the other hand you're getting a stronger chip but it will be less performer comparing it is 2 years old.


Software:


In flagship you get 2 years of update and in mid range you get 1. But a flagship from 2 years ago it will be dated. But the mid ranger will last extra one year. So it's a point to the mid ranger .


So it's your choice now. Read the article and think what you need
