Why choose a lesser-known brand?

One of the most exciting things about opting for a smartphone that isn’t an iPhone or a Samsung is the opportunity for innovation and uniqueness. These lesser-known brands often fly under the radar, but don’t let that fool you: despite being underdogs, they push the techy boundaries just the same, offering groundbreaking features that you may not find on mainstream devices! Whether it’s super advanced camera technology, unconventional design choices, or unique software features, these brands are shaking up the industry in the best possible way.

And it’s not just about getting a cool new gadget! By choosing less popular mobile brands, you’re also supporting diversity in the smartphone market and encouraging healthy competition. The more options we have as consumers, the better. When these products are given the chance to shine, it creates a more bustling, crowded marketplace where both innovation and prices stay competitive. So, the next time you’re faced with picking your new phone, get out of your comfort zone and take a chance on something new. Who knows? You might just discover your new favourite device!

OnePlus: the king of the underdog

Born with the bold mission to provide flagship-level features at a fraction of the cost, OnePlus has quickly generated great buzz and garnered a loyal following. Known for their incredible value for money, OnePlus smartphones, like the OnePlus 7 Pro, boast top-tier specs and plenty of GBs without the weighty price tag. But the burning question is: what sets OnePlus apart from the competition? Well, the answers might be more than one:

  • The commitment to providing a clean, near-stock Android experience, free from bloatware and unnecessary gimmicks.
  • The lightning-fast OxygenOS updates that make the device fast and responsive.
  • The outstanding durability. OnePlus devices are built like tanks with premium materials that can withstand even the roughest daily use.

All in all, it looks like OnePlus phones have nothing to envy to their more famous counterparts!

Nokia: the comeback kid

Finnish mobile manufacturer Nokia rose from its ashes just like a phoenix. Whoever lived throughout the 90s and early 2000s will remember the days when Nokia ruled the mobile phone market with an iron fist, especially with its 3310 model. After a setback, Nokia has returned, and its phones are better than ever!

Models like the new Nokia HMD Pulse typically boast impressive specs, such as large, vibrant displays with high resolutions for an immersive viewing experience. They come equipped with powerful processors for smooth performance, ample RAM for multitasking, and generous internal storage options to store your apps, photos, and videos. Their camera technology is no less than exceptional, with high-megapixel primary sensors, wide-angle lenses, and dedicated macro or depth sensors for versatile shooting capabilities so you can take exceptional selfies or food pics that’ll leave everybody in awe.

So, do you want to sell your iPhone and get your hands on a new Nokia? With a focus on value for money and reliability, these smartphones offer a refreshing alternative. And with the reassurance of Nokia’s legendary build quality, you can rest easy knowing your phone will withstand the test of time, no matter what life throws at it (just like the old 3310, which probably still works today).
