Calling and receiving calls was what was demanded from the first cell phones. Today, with innovations and technologies advancing by leaps and bounds, the device must fulfill many other functions. The telephone is a map, a television, a cookbook or, for the most nostalgic, a personal stereo.
According to Entel’s latest analysis some of the users’ favorite phones so far this year are: Moto G53 M, iPhone 13, Samsung A33 5G and Xiaomi REDMI NOTE 11 PRO 5G. Which elements make the difference when it comes to opening the wallet and surfing faster? Brands, technical specifications, price and connection to 5G. It has also been observed the irruption of new alternatives with very good results such as the Motorola Edge 40, and the new Honor Magic 5 Lite.
What is striking are the upcoming trends. Entel’s assistant manager of Products and Terminals, Ignacio Reyes, details that in the more premium range, a striking novelty, “are the phones with flexible screens. Although until the beginning of this year few brands had models available with this feature, during the course of the year there were some that launched new models such as Samsung and Motorola. In addition, there was a growth of approximately 64% in shipments of this type of phone globally”.
What are users looking at when buying a phone? The first thing is performance, mainly associated with memory and processor. Today, you can find mid-range phones around CLP 150,000, with processors that until recently were only seen in the high-premium ranges, for over CLP 300,000. In addition to the battery, fast charging is also important, which was not previously among the main preferences.
Perhaps the feature most valued by consumers is the cameras. “It’s been a while since they stopped having a recreational use only and sometimes they are an important work tool. The main innovations in this sense would be the incorporation of their own sensors to improve image quality, improvements in zoom (wide/macro) and optical stabilization of videos, among others, which have also been gradually incorporated into mid-range devices”, emphasizes Reyes.
Pre-owned devices
Pre-owned devices have played a very important role in the democratization of access to mid-range and high-end cell phones.
In the case of Entel, the objective of having a catalog of pre-owned devices is to extend the useful life of terminals that remain in perfect condition, generating a sustainable ecosystem for the environment. Cheap is not expensive, they say. They are devices with portability and many of the refurbished ones are compatible with Entel’s 5G network, present from Arica to Puerto Williams.
“At Entel we have been pioneers in promoting product offerings with a sustainable approach. In the case of phones, our category of pre-owned products not only offers the possibility of accessing state-of-the-art technology at more convenient prices, but in conjunction with other initiatives in the mobile ecosystem, such as the launch of the ecological SIM, allows us to promote the circular economy”, highlights Reyes and adds that in this segment, the best-selling devices by brand have been the iPhone 13, Samsung s22, Xiaomi Redmi note 10 5G, Vivo V21, and Moto G71.
The 5G experience does make a difference and the refurbished cell phones go through a strict review process that allows us to offer high quality products and performance equal to a new one, These, in addition, have a voluntary six-month warranty, which consists of repair at no cost to factory failures.
