Is your phone outdated?
Nowadays, mobile phones are updated too quickly. How to judge when a mobile phone is outdated? Or is it outdated? Whether a mobile phone is outdated is a very abstract concept. We can discuss this issue from many angles. Operating system Whether the latest version of the operating system can be installed can be said to be the closest criterion to this issue to some extent. Since the iPhone came out in 2007, the operating system of smart phones has been developing rapidly at the rate of one upgrade per year. Take the iPhone as an example. AppStore, Facetime, Notification Center, Control Center, these functions were not supported by the old version of the operating system when they were first launched. For smart phones, there is an unwritten rule in the industry that a mobile phone can usually perfectly support two generations of operating systems. With the update of the third or even fourth generation system, the hardware often cannot meet the requirements and freezes. For example, when iOS 7 was first launched, the iPhone 4 upgraded to this system version had serious freezes, which greatly affected the user experience. And closely related to the operating system version is the core of the smart phone era - smart applications. When developing software, application developers often program according to new systems. Therefore, we can see the system environment in which the application can run in the introduction of an application. If you find that your phone prompts "your system does not support this software" when you download software, and you cannot upgrade to a version that supports the system, then this is a clear sign that your phone is outdated. Hardware configuration Compared with iPhone, early Android models (or current low-end models) tend to rely more on hardware configuration. If the processor and memory are not enough, even the home screen switching will be annoying. If you experience serious lag when switching applications or sliding the screen, it means that your machine is time to retire. However, with the rapid development of Android phones, the performance of mid-to-high-end models has shown a trend of excess in the past two years. Quad-core processors have become popular, and more gimmicky eight-core processors have also been coming one after another. In addition, starting from Android 4.4 Kitkat, Google has begun to increase its efforts to enhance the system's support for low hardware configurations. This problem is gradually being solved. Although the problem of system fluency has gradually disappeared, the update and iteration of hardware also brings new functions and new experiences. For example, the latest fingerprint unlocking function of iPhone 5s or the fingerprint sliding unlocking function of Samsung Galaxy S5 are not available in previous models; or the 41-megapixel camera of Lumia 1020, and the 1080p full HD resolution screen of HTC One and Note 3. Unlike the clear boundaries of digitalization of software systems, the so-called "outdatedness" of hardware is more targeted at the user's personal needs for mobile phones. For example, if you never use your mobile phone to take pictures, then let alone 41 million pixels, even 82 million pixels are useless to you; for example, if you only require the mobile phone in your hand to make and receive calls, then the 1080p resolution is not a decisive parameter. Therefore, judging whether a mobile phone is "outdated" from the hardware function depends on everyone's usage needs. Just seeking the latest Smart phones may be the coolest and lowest-threshold product at present. Compared with cars and famous watches, the price of mobile phones is usually within 10,000 yuan. Faced with low entry conditions, being able to own the latest equipment has become the pursuit of some digital enthusiasts. Therefore, for these people, "not the latest" means outdated. Of course, it is natural to spend your own money. As long as you spend it comfortably and happily, there is no right or wrong, good or bad. The above is the judgment on whether a mobile phone is "outdated". In judging this issue, subjective factors actually have the greatest influence. In contrast to "no desire or demand", your needs for the use of the mobile phone correspond to your requirements for the mobile phone standard. The latest model is not necessarily the most suitable model for you. Therefore, when buying a mobile phone, you can also follow this principle. Think about your needs for the mobile phone before making a decision, which can often achieve the goal of economical affordability.
