Whether you use a contract phone or PAYG there are many advantages to updating your phone. Most contracts now have a two year duration with shorter contracts offering less good deals. These contracts only offer upgrades to your existing phone after around twenty-two months meaning by the time you are offered an upgrade your phone will be out of date. Mobile phone release cycles are now approaching less than a year between phone generations, though there are incremental improvements within a cycle the features are mainly update by generation. Even the new generation of mid-range phones such as the Samsung Galaxy Ace and HTC Gratia offer big improvements over old phones at competitive prices.
One of the greatest improvements recently has been phone screen resolution and size with resolutions in some cases more than doubling. This makes everything you do with your phone easier such as browsing the internet and navigating its settings. It also lets you enjoy movies and shows on your phone.
Processing power has increased a lot, a year or two ago a 400 MHz phone was not unusual, now the top phones have gone over 1 GHz with many of them sporting dual core processors. The newer processors will let you use the latest apps and mobile games as well as being powerful enough to drive up to 1080p video recording.
Another important hardware improvement is the move to new network types, when Apple first released the iPhone 3G the change to the faster data mode was big news, the new formats 4G and LTE offer an even bigger step forward giving mobile devices speeds that can compete with home broadband anywhere where there is infrastructure support for the new modes. These speeds will make mobile browsing extremely responsive and allow streaming media.
With time phones inevitably get damaged, from small screen scratches and body scuffs up to more serious damage such as cracks in the screen and bent data ports. An upgrade can be an economical way of dealing with this rather than attempting to get a phone fixed with its costs of parts, labour and sufficiently insured post to and from the repairer. It is also easy to lose peripherals such as data and charger cables which can be surprisingly expensive to replace.
If you update your mobile phone contract as a way of upgrading your phone there are many free gift offers available on the contracts, with some of these including extremely desirable items such as Playstation 3 consoles and flat screen TVs. You can also get laptops and money back offers that will give you many months of the contract for free, making an upgrade save you money.
Mid-tier phones like the Samsung Galaxy Ace and the HTC Gratia are now cheap enough to upgrade to that it is a good way of gaining extra phones for family members to use. Unlock the sim of the old phone and then it can be used as a pay as you go phone or with its own cheap contract while you use the new phone.
As deals rapidly improve from contracts on networks and from specialist phone sellers online it is a good idea to shop around for new upgrade options even long before a contract has expired when it is possible to get phones like the HTC Gratia for such good prices.
