How long do you like to change the car, house, sofa, fridge, TV etc. after using it? Maybe after 6 or 7 years or else you use them until the goods go bad. But if we talk about smartphone, then what will be your answer? One year or two years. The answer for many of us will be this. There are many reasons for this, but the biggest reason is hobby. If you change any phone after one year of use, then you will call it your hobby. Because many people do not think to spend more money on the phone. Once purchasing a phone, they use it for at least two or three years.
Have you ever thought about how appropriate it is to change smartphones every year and how the smartphone manufacturer companies have taken advantage of this upgrade? If you do not know the answers to all these questions and want to know, then today's article is just for you. First of all, know how much the shelf life of a smartphone is according to the phone manufacturer.

What's the phone manufacturer's shelf life for a smartphone: According to Independent Technology Journalist Abhishek Baxi, "For companies, the life of a smartphone in India is 9 months, which was 18 months traditionally. Talking about Xiaomi, the shelf life of the smartphone for them is 9 months. As an example, the life of the company's Note series is about 9 months, which is quite disappointing.
Earlier, the smartphone market functioned annually. But these cycles were reduced due to competition among companies in the Indian market. The rest of OEMs, including Micromax, launched Quick Launches in a year to compete with Samsung. They thought that this would enable them to get more revenue or attract users to themselves. At that time Micromax used to launch 30 devices in a year. However, their target was the launch of 50 smartphones. This strategy has also been adopted by Xiaomi and the rest of the companies have also started working on this strategy. ”
Do Smartphone Manufacturer Companies Take Advantage: Tech companies understand this very well that if the user is given one good technology or upgraded device after another, then they will definitely buy it and this will benefit the companies immensely. You must have seen that companies launch phones one after the other and stop upgrading 2 or 3 year old models. When the user stops getting an upgrade in the phone, they have to buy a new phone in compulsion. But even then, is it correct to change your phone every year?
After all, why do phone manufacturers launch series of smartphones in a year? Abhishek Baksi says that smartphone maker companies launch many phones in a year to continue competition in the market and stay in it. A big reason for this is Diwali or festive sale. During this time users like to buy a new smartphone. Companies benefit more from this. Because companies like Xiaomi believe in launching a phone with more features at a lower price.
One big reason for this is that the user using a budget smartphone can buy another phone using the phone for one year. At the same time, a company like iPhone launches the phone only once a year. Because by buying an expensive phone, users do not want to change the phone until it is outdated. Hobby can also be a reason to change expensive phones quickly.
Abhishek Bakshi also told that if any phone needs to be changed before 2 years, then it cannot be called a better smartphone. A smartphone can prove to be good on the basis of features or performance only if it is used for 2 years or more without any problems.
Is it correct to change your smartphone every year? If we are not asked. A big reason for this is that buying a new smartphone every year can spoil your budget, and if seen, the company does not even upgrade so much for any smartphone, for which more money should be spent. Any user should change the phone only when needed. This means that either your phone started malfunctioning or it was removed from the software upgrade list in future.
The difference between the need for a smartphone and a hobby: Today it is very important for us to understand whether we need to change the phone or the hobby of changing the smartphone. Investing in smartphones is not a bad option if it is needed. Because many times, the reason for the smartphone being outdated, is lost to many such features that we desperately need.
Technology is also changing quite rapidly. But if comparing smartphones launched one after the other, then spending more money for them will not prove profitable. There is very little difference among them. Generally speaking, changing the color, font, size etc. of any phone is not a sign of an upgraded phone. In such a situation, as long as you are satisfied with the features and performance of your phone, then you do not need to change the phone. Because spending money for another phone without a smartphone is never the right step.
