If you're still holding on to that old cell phone, you need to read this right now. Let's face it, if your friends start taunting you the moment you you pull out your cell phone, it's time for a new one.
It might be time to buy a new smart phone when...
Your phone won't update to the latest OS
Whether you're Apple or Android, if your phone won't update past the version released two years ago, it's time for a new phone. Not being able to update to a new operating system is a security risk, among other things.
Your apps don’t work
If you can't update your banking app, and candy crush just won't work, it's time to buy a new phone. Phone apps depend on your operating system, memory and storage capacity to work.
The battery just won't hold a charge any more
Phone batteries get weaker over time and certain number of charges they will just start to fail completely. If you have to keep your phone plugged in to use it, it's time to replace it.
You need a faster phone
I will be honest, most people have no idea what a good processor is and how fast one should be. That includes me, I am most people. The good thing is, you can ask someone (or look it up on the Internet.)
You need more storage.
If you are constantly deleting apps and photos off your phone to make space, it's time to get a phone with more storage. 16GB just won't cut it anymore.
You have a bad camera.
With people grabbing their phones instead of their cameras for photos, it is important to have a good camera on your phone. Keep in mind it’s not always about the increase in megapixels that makes a good picture. A smart phone has to be able to focus, take low light photos and more. With Instagram, Snapchat and other apps being all the rage, it's important to have a great camera on your phone.
Your screen is broken
Yes you can buy replacement screens and do it yourself, or pay to for a replacement service, or maybe you think you can just live with the crack, but I am going to tell you you deserve a phone that isn't broken.
