What to Consider
Features on your cell phone will largely determine their cost and what role they will play in your life. For instance, people who use their phone for business may prefer an understated candy-bar style cell phone, while college students may want something more colorful and expressive. Others who drop their phones often may prefer the flip phone so the screen isn’t damaged, but those who don’t have that problem might like the slider-style phone.
