What do you look for in a new phone?

[EmilieT]

Hi everyone, 

When it comes to chosing our trusted tech companion, we all have different priorities in mind. The most tech savy of us will look at specific specs, while others might have in mind a special need they have, or a more aesthetic focus.

• What are the most important specs for you ? Camera performance, specific functionalities, display, operating system, memory, etc.

• Do you have special requirements in mind? Hard of hearing, vision challenges, a specific purpose you have in mind for this phone, etc.

• What makes a phone standout from a design point of view? A thin body, specific colours or lack of, the home button/other buttons locations, etc.

• Are there any features or design quirks that would put you off getting a particular handset? The headphone Jack missing, some colours, etc.

We'd love to hear more about what you look for in a phone, what made you chose the one you currently use or would make you pick a new model! It'd also be great to hear if you have recommendations on the best models in your opinion for any of the criteria and scenarios I listed above, or others you might think of. This could help some members looking for a new device but not sure where to start. 

Looking forward to your comments!
