How Much Smartphone You Should Buy?

- I talk about about much you should spend on a smartphone ideally and avoid buying smartphones on EMI as smartphones depreciate in value very quickly and have almost no value after a year. I personally also share my thoughts how much I would be willing to spend on smartphones.

The Smartphone marketing Hype, Don't fall for the same th-cam.com/video/5qz6I1Gvj_I/w-d-xo.html
Geekyranjit excellent. I wonder who would dislike this.
Can you make a video on how these crazy manufactures are making taller and huge smartphones!! Nobody seems to care about this!! The crazy idea is bigger is better😵
I actually saw that Smartphone marketing hype video first and came here to view this one..both these videos are eye-opening videos especially for people in India. You are one of the oldest TH-cam reviewer and I remember in 2011 you reviewed Samsung S plus which you had just purchased for personal use. You replied to me at that time when I commented that I had bought the phone for 20k. You asked me from where I had bought it..i said on ebay but you bought it for 24k or something i guess. My salary was around 15k at that time and I realized I made a mistake by purchasing such a costly phone even though I liked it very much and was excited about it but I made up for my mistake by using it for nearly 3-1/2 years he he..and I only needed to change it because of RAM issue (it had only 512 MB RAM as you know). Nowadays my budget is under 20k even though my salary has increased to 40k and I make it a point to use at least 2 to 3 years. I will never make the same mistake of purchasing a phone which is more than my monthly salary. Guys, remember, it's not worth it. We should stop this Indian mentality just to show-off our phones. A good all-rounder phone in the range of 10k to 20k is more than enough for your daily needs.
@@sajathmenon what you realised I recently acted the same way. I bought Redmi Note 8 6gb/128gb. I'm damn happy for its purpose ie for email,. whatsapp, calls, memory, occasional photography. I could have bought easily 50-60k phone but settled with 13k phone even though my salary is 5x of what I bought.
Im thinking to buy phone which is around 3times my salary, although I use a phone for over 2 years, I only buy new one when they are no more in good working condition. i was in a dilemma whether to invest that much for a phone through emi or to buy a mid range and save the money for other aspects. After watching the two videos the marketing hype and this one, now i came to a clarity that not to buy phones if you don't have enough money in hand...Thankyou sir for your valuable videos..
He took over 8 minutes to explain why you shouldn't buy expensive phones
My mother took only 1 minute, all she had was a slipper.

i think its about finding balance...like whats the point of all the money if you dont even buy the stuff you like and spend it like "poor"

@@Sarthak1710 this is the problem with poor thinking. Ambani probably spent 0.0001% of what he had on his beti ki shaadi. But we with 0.0000000001% of his money want to spend as much and think this will make us look rich.

You kept on saying "off topic..."
But this was one of THE BEST opinion on smartphones and also a thing to think upon

@@DipanjanBiswasgoogle true .one plus is value for money. Excellent durability too.!
Same here 🤣
We shud spend on need , need is internet which we get for 125 rs per month , in USA they buy iPhones as cost of internet is 70 dollars so they spend 10 times over that, here you are asking to pay more than 100 times ie 12500 smart phone , if you go by my thought just buy a 9000 rs phone.
This is the reason he is THE BEST reviewer in India right now. He is so genuine and balanced.
Yup
In the good old days Technical Guruji was also like this but now he is just....

He spoke that out without fearing any brands. I was also having the same opinion in my mind, and this video helped me to share that to my friends too.

"Smartphones are one of the most depreciating asset." Well said sir
I think one of geekyranjit's children had asked for a galaxy fold😁😁
Phones r not an asset it's a liability
Wow hola Daw it’s an asset. It ll fall on the left side of the balance sheet, where you use cash to get something tangible, which has a value. It’s a depreciating asset, he’s right.
Hola Dew, phones are definitely an asset because it provides us with whatever little amount in the near future, however the value that we get is insignificant, compared to what we paid in the beginning
You should keep covering such topics. I know its almost a year since you made this. Though I can afford your points help me control the rush to just spend with stupidity. Thank you! Great stuff!
Someone had to say this! I'm very glad it came from someone like you.
I'd say if someone has 60k to spend on phone, spend 20k on the phone and rest on a vacation with your family. Ten years down the lane, you wouldn't remember which phone you had, but you would definitely remember the vacation you took.
Few other points I want to highlight:
1. People should spend more on the experience rather than the product.
2. US made and imported products attract a lot of taxes. All Apple devices cost less in US than here. Also, the earning power here is significantly lower than US.
Young or old, rich or poor, buy a mid spec phone. Use it thoroughly until you receive at least three service updates and four security updates. And when the phone manufacturers declare they'll not be able to support your device, only then buy the latest mid spec phone.
Tech reviewers must do some CSR activities like this and inform the audience that holding on to your 2 year old phone is sexy too and not just buying phones frequently.
Most sensible advise I had ever heard from the tech reviewer.
Exactly i was waiting for such a video, people should be aware of the pattern

An eye opener video, I sent it to my son who just passed 9 th standard
Investing money on devices specially on apple is foolishness .. I.e apple made a 12 pro max ( the production cost of that device was about 478 dollars and selling it for 1500 dollars
@@dhruvchopra7014 Apple charges exuberant prices, and now Samsung as well for their Note and S series. I personally have a Galaxy S9+ that I bought when it launched. It was my first truly top of the line smartphone and it still is performing really well in every aspect. But back then I paid 66k, now the S series costs way more especially the + and Ultra variants.

Super cool video man, not many people would actually say these things out onto a social platform. Kudos to you my man!
Yes...true
Totally agree. Even my views are similar when I have conversations with friends on this topic. EMI should used ccarefully as it gives a false sense of buying power. I am using a 3 year old MI Note 5 Pro and it's serving me well. There are issues with it but nothing major and can possibly use it for another year. We are blessed to get some really kickass mobile devices in value for money price range of 15-20K.
Very honest person who speaks only and only in our benifits ......this also affect on his business but he not cares about that......the best reviewer that i have watched

The best video ever by any Tech reviewer. You're a living legend. This video should be shared again and again 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
this is not "off-topic", this sits above "every topic" from the channel.
I agree with you...
Oh my god
I scrolled down to say the exact words
And you already did
😅👍🏻👍🏻
And just to put what he said into context for the Indian audience:
An average software engineer in the US earns about 4000 dollars a month (2k fortnightly for 1-4 years of experience). The most expensive iPhone is still less than half a month’s salary.
To compete, Indian engineers pay 3 to 4 times their monthly income for the same phone. (30k a month * 3 for a phone worth ~90k)
Honestly, get phones that are close to half your monthly salary and use them for 2+ years. My 2 cents.
Awesome video man! Much appreciated!
Well said bro
and if you are a little more desperate, drag the amount upto a months salary at the very max. Also, save the money (like the EMI) and buy the latest.
Can we make a t-shirt about what you wrote? Not many people realize what you just wrote!!!
Skysong that might be true in your region but when we consider the entire country(India) there are engineers who barely get paid 20k a month and also many unemployed too..so I hope you understand his context
Are only engineer n ITs buy phones? Why engineers?
I keep coming back to this and sending to my friends as a reminder to not splurge unnecessarily. Great video!
We need more eye-opener videos like these! Thank you so much, sir!
Being a tech reviewer, sharing such video shows how honest you are. That's why I always go for your videos before making any purchase.

The most reasonable and practical video out of all the tech-reviewers on the Internet. No one talks about the value of money which is so counter-intuitive in such a tough economic condition in the Country.
No sense showing off if you have to be in debt(EMI) to have the product.
