Now let’s be 100% direct here, practicality may not necessarily be the most attractive feature in smartphones today, but it’s still very much important. Smartphones are still tools after all, among other things, and no one wants a tool that isn’t utilitarian and practical, or one that will just be a more of an expensive liability in some instances than an added asset. And that’s not to say you shouldn’t buy phones with crazy curved screens or other flagship features as well, it simply means you should at least keep an eye out when it comes to these things, because after all the last thing you want to do is regret your buying decisions as well. So as you take some moments to perhaps laugh at some of the ironies of modern smartphones, you can think of what’s most important to you when you buy one and gain a little perspective for the next time you buy one especially in this economy.
