My husband has been dealing with a cracked and shattered pretty old Samsung phone for a few years. He suggested I upgrade my phone and give him mine which is only a year old and a great phone but, hey, i wanted something with a bigger screen so I went on the hunt for a new phone.
Let me preface to say I absolutely hate the way cell phone providers such as ATT, Sprint, TMobile etc do their phones now. You pay a monthly payment on a way overpriced phone and then another ridiculous price for service..you can trade in the device early for a new one and start the payment plan all over again or pay it off and by the time you pay it off you have an operable but outdated phone. Not only that,.you start adding in additional phones and service for family members and you can start running into multiple hundreds of dollars minimum bill each month.
I am pretty tech saavy and love new electronics. I love to fiddle with them, learn how they operate and what features they have, so hunting for a new phone is right up my alley as a good time. I narrowed down my search to a couple of phone models. I usually do this by reading articles on google, reading reviews on amazon and watching videos on youtube. I ended up going with the HONOR 8x.
Im telling you, this phone is amazing and it costs less than 300 bucks total and it's unlocked, so you can just pop in your sim card from whatever service provider you have (I use Straight Talk which is 55 a month totally unlimited everything.) It has a super lightning fast fingerprint reader and facial recognition to unlock the phone (you decide which you want to use). The screen is beautiful and quite responsive, you have double cameras on front and back of the phone. The screen is a massive 6.5 inches and it has 128GB of space. My previous phone was a HUAWEI and they make the HONOR brand as well, so my new phone has a lot of my same features I loved and the interface is similar as well. Going this way is a whole lot cheaper than going with cell phone provider and paying a few years on a cellphone you may not like in a year (or be unlucky enough to drop and damage).
So, if you are looking for a way to cut your cell bill each month...first thing to look at is cutting the cord on contracting to buy flagship phones sold by cell providers that are overpriced and overrated. My HONOR 8x that I bought outright from Amazon can compete with them and costs way over half the price. And by prepaying for your cell service you also save on the extra charges they tack on your bill such as taxes, surcharges and you also aren't nickle and dimed to death when you go over your data allowance. This is my opinion and I hope this review helps!
