Too Many Android Phones – There is no right time to buy an android devices

So what I wanna talk, it’s recently talked in android community and smartphones community in general about the frequency of which android phones are released. Especially here in United States. People are actually complaining there are too many android phones being released now just thrown out there from also to carriers, manufacturers all over the place. There are just too many. It’s even been said that and I quote “There is no right time to buy an android phone”. Course I’d died and it is and I’m dug really deep into this issue, and I found that people mostly have pretty good reason say that.

But the Motorola Droid Razr on launch day, on day one. Well, couple months later, CES in January in Vegas and the Droid Razr Maxx comes out with a much much larger battery as an upgrade to the Droid Razr.

Another example is if you bought the Transformer Prime TF201 when it came out, well again in CES in January the chance for Prime TF700T came out with an updated design, high resolution front facing camera, and a 1080p display.

AT&T and Samsung just went completely insane, and have a Samsung Galaxy S2, a Samsung Galaxy S2 Sky-Rocket, and a Samsung Galaxy S2 Sky-Rocket HD. All in a couple of months. WOW.

So yeah, there are a lot of android phones out there, next on people that describing maybe three month old amazing android phones musing almost eight year meaningless words like “Outdated” or just as old phone. So, what is this actually mean?

So here’s the thing. Your phone doesn’t just stop working when new phone comes out, or your phones not going to just explode, or turning into a brick or just leave you because a newer version because a newer version of it has been released. Actually your current phone use is not no functionality anymore. It’s still the awesome phone it was when you bought it and nothing is changed. Nothing is actually becoming “Obsolete” here, and if you look up the definition of the word “obsolete”, you’re probably agree with me. Nothing is actually becoming obsolete even when newer devices and technologies are released. Everything that was good about the phone that made you buy it is still good about that phone now.

That things becomes a little bit clear to understand when you shifting in and look at it like cars. Let’s say you bought a brand new Ferrari F430 that day it came out. Like a boss. Couple months later, Ferrari puts out the Ferrari F430 Scuderia. And you see a Scuderia driving down the street as you’re in your Ferrari and you’re like WOW, this makes this feel so outdated, I just feel so old now. But, you’re still driving a brand new Ferrari.

Now I think you can see what I mean. The real issue with phones being really so quickly is development and support, and the words that pass round a lot, fragmentation. The development issue is the fact that YEAH this phone is really really different and while they do differ on the outside, they also differ in the inside. And that means that apps that are available on certain phones are not available on certain others. Which means that they’re going the app developers out there. Not to call anyone lazy, but YEAH they’re gonna say screw that, screw develop thing six different versions of my app is to work on phones out there. We just develop 1 version of my app for the iPhone. For support, news been said before it’s often said that when you buy a first generation devices, you’re really beta testing. Your device will inevitably get a few updates made even getting OS upgrade, and maybe get some behind the scene changes like a firmware update, but in the end it’ll settle down to being a cool, stable, awesome device that you just pop. And fragmentation is aware that people like to throw around a lot to describe and rate, but really ties back to the development issue where they are, yes different devices with different screen resolution, different OS version, different skins on top of them, and that’s really what differentiates the mall.

But the bottom line is phone manufacturers are not going to stop making so many phones. Sure some random marketing rap from HTC may say OH YEAH we’re gonna slowdown phones this year for 2013, less releases. Really?

Treat diseases companies live by the quarterly report and they are never going to slowdown so much that they make less money than they do now. Because in the end, finance is the main goal abuse manufacturers. They’re going to take open source OS, there is android. And they’re going to manufacture their hardware that is their smartphones and they’re going to show it in, cram it in, and throw out the window, and keep producing those over and over and over and over again.

The more different options they can offer their figure the more money in their pocket and that’s not going to change anytime soon.

If manufacturers did certainly magically slowdown these devices by a lot, maybe 1 device per year. Think about it, first, it would be a lot of less money for them. Second of all, you’d stop getting those incremental upgrade. So remember how the Droid Razr Maxx is a much larger battery for the Droid Razr, you wouldn’t see those if they only released 1 device per year. They put out the Droid Razr, and for some reason it pisses people off that Motorola listened to you guys. And you wanted a longer battery life and a phone and a center right. Well who have a straight Razr come out, and there you go. But that was a sees if you only have 1 device per year. And second, companies would be like less likely to take risks that they’re putting all their eggs into 1 basket once per year. So I’d less like to see phones like the Razr that are so crazy in their designs a revolutionary. You wouldn’t even get a Razr Maxx or the Razr at all. So YEAH, seems like a silly but the adjustment isn’t going to go happen on manufacturer site, it’s going to have to come from us on the consumer side, but it seem kinda silly to complain that doesn’t it? Like in less you have some sort of inferiority complex or few. You absolutely must have the best phones out to feel good about yourself as a person. Or if your phone is some senate some sort of status symbol. By the way people get mad at new releases like revolution right, if I buy a phone than manufacturers should just stop making new phones into my contract is up and I can afford a new one.

To use my advice, because I get a lot of people asking what android phone should I get. Pick in the center of features that you actually want in a phone. So if you describe your dream phone, you want a phone with a big screen, look at the big screen phones. If you want your phone running Android, look at the big screen Android Phones. Say if you want phones with big battery life, look at that to you if you want to play certain games, use a certain app, have certain features, put that together, match it up and look at the phones that will match your criteria. Watch the reviews, pay within a store, borrow it from your friend that might already have it. And once you already narrow it down, pick your favorite, and that should probably be the best device for you.

So at the end, what do you think? Is there never a right time to buy an android device, or there is never a wrong time to buy an android device
