Digital reboot

Simple smartphones will remain simple

Face it, a flagship phone from 2019 still gets the work done. There have obviously been improvements on the camera front in the last year but tiny photographs on social media feeds don’t do justice to the powerful shooters available on new phones. Do we really need to upgrade mobile phones? That’s the question most will ask in 2021. Only if your smartphone is not receiving the latest operating system upgrade, you may consider buying a new one. Or if some of your favourite apps have stopped working. Consumers will base their purchase decision more on needs rather than giving into corporate advertising.
