Buying a smart phone

If you are going to buy a new phone, don't go to Telus or Rogers as they offer 0% down however, they gouge you every month.  Go to Best Buy, Costco, Walmart or Amazon and buy an unlocked phone.  Get a SIM card,  Look at price and data usage.  I have 100 GB and I never use more then 4 GB.  

The best phones around right now are Samsung.  You can get a Samsung A07 that was just released for $144 at Walmart or $120 on Amazon!  I haven't priced it anywhere else.  There are other good Samsung phones for under $500!   

Or if you want to be trendy, buy an an Apple iPhone.  They all do the same thing but Apple phones are more expensive.

If price isn't a problem you should check out https://www.gsmarena.com/  as they will give you all the specifications and price.   You can compare all makes and models of phones.  Go to PHONE FINDER/COMPARE PHONES

What matters most to you when you are purchasing a phone?
•  📸 Best camera
•  🔋 Longest battery life
•  💰 Best value
•  🧓 Easiest for seniors
•  🧳 Best for travel
•  📱 iPhone vs Android preference
•  🧠 Best AI features

For the best deal, DON'T EVER SIGN A CONTRACT!  You want a month to month so you can change your plan when the prices are lowered.
