Why do people purchase expensive smartphones?

While I have been mainly using cheap smartphones costing less than $80 in the last few years, I have noticed that many people are purchasing expensive smartphones, costing $300 or more. Other than better camera, more memory, faster processor, how are the expensive smartphones better?

The very qualities and features that you mentioned are why some expensive smartphones are better than other kinds of smartphones. Some people are freak of performance in a smartphone.

People pay more for higher-end smartphones based on their social status. Furthermore, they want a phone with improved performance. As for me, I want a smartphone with a decent camera and the ability to multitask seamlessly.

It is usually due to their needs and taste. Like myself I have a particular taste In terms of batteries, processor, camera and so on. I am a heavy app user so I can't just go for any phone.

Weather expensive or cheap, the phones all serve the same purpose. I think people are competing with technology. Many want to be the first to get the latest technology. Many people have much money and they won't mind buying a smartphone worth $1000.

As for me, I prefer a small smartphone that can serve basic needs like making phone calls and texting.

Some people want to show off or get the most out of a phone if you have a lot of money why not but I wouldn't save for the newest iphone because a phone that is way cheaper can do most things that iphone could do

I think those are the main reasons why those phones are expensive; the camera quality, storage, processing, image quality, and looks are what make a phone expensive, and that is why people are paying a lot of money.

I think that not everyone just wants to show off. For example, I was also ready to buy a very expensive phone, but for more than 5 years of use

Most of the people that purchase some expensive smartphones are doing that for the purpose for the show off.
