At a time where a new smartphone gets launched each week and they disappear from the shelves with a few months, the task of identifying the right one at the right price becomes a gargantuan task, especially if one suffers from bouts of indecision or has turned procrastination into a fine art.

At Techtree, we prefer not to make recommendations. Instead we thought it may make sense to offer some insights into some of the existing phones so that users can reduce their options based on what they are looking for. Instead of asking whether  smartphone companies can be smart about launches, we thought of empowering you to be smarter than them.

So, without further ado, we present to you some facts that could help with decision-making about the next smartphone that you acquire…
