Recently some people offer the proposal that leasing a smart phone will cost/charge you less than buying one.
Generally speaking, you have two approaches to get a new phone, by spending 700 dollars buying it outright, or paying 300 dollars for it with a two-year contract, which sounds cheaper but actually cost you more due to some hidden fee that isn’t mentioned in that contract. And two years later, when you finally reach the end of the contract, the degradation of the battery and the hardware will make you have to buy a new one. Don’t even mention that every time you get a new phone, you actually need to pay more than a phone itself, such as cases, cables and rechargers.
This is why a group of people suggest that carriers may lease their products. For themselves, after recycling and fixing those phones, carriers can make profits from one phone at least twice, even if they have to reduce the price each time later. And for our consumers, we can spend the least money getting the latest phones. And according to the article, there’s only one downside to the proposal that you won’t have any phones to hand down to your family members.
But as far as I concerned, I don’t accept this new modern way, not because I’m rich, I just don’t like using a pre-owned phone from strangers, and also, there can be some potential safety hazards involved in this kind of recycling use of phones.
