It’s definitely that time of year to know your cell-phone facts, because when it comes to holiday joy, a new phone turns wish-list goals into gold. But selecting the right smartphone requires a lot of prior research. We’re hoping to facilitate the whole process with some shopping guidelines and some more convenient ways to pay. You’ll probably be asking yourself “Apple or Samsung?”, so here are some key things to think about.

Apple vs. Samsung: 5 Aspects to Consider

 

1)  Processor

If you have a need for speed and love to:

  • edit photos and videos
  • play online games and stream videos

you’ll definitely want a faster processor (look for higher GHz).

2)  Display

If you like your smartphone to be able to:

  • fit in your pocket or stow away in a purse
  • deliver a rich top-notch media experience

you’ll want to opt for a sized-right design with 5½-6 HD or QHD display.

3)  Battery

If you’re a heavy-online-usage person who:

  • likes having multiple apps open at same time
  • loves video-streaming apps and games

you’ll want to side-step the drain by going with a longer-lasting battery (higher mAh)

4)  Memory

If your phone typically works overtime and you enjoy:

  • enhanced speed and streamlined operation
  • supplemental storage power

you’ll want a phone with at least 128-256GB  (avg. user: usually 64GB is enough)

5)  Camera

If you’re an avid cell-phone photog who:

  • consistently takes a lot of pics
  • really cares about photo quality

you’ll want to look for a 12 or 16MP (megapixels) camera  (avg. user: 8-12MP)

* Prices and quantities are subject to change

1 If you are approved for a lease this is your estimated weekly lease payment. On this site, we use the terms "lease," "lease agreement," "rental-purchase agreement" and "agreement" the same. (We usually use the term "Lease.") Under your Lease, you can: (a) weekly, biweekly, or monthly payments or exercise an Early Purchase Option pursuant to your payment offer (not applicable in FL, NC and TX) and some restrictions may apply in CA to acquire Ownership of the rented goods or (b) rent the goods for at least the initial term and then end the lease when you want by making all required payments and returning the goods. In NC, the final payment required to purchase the rented goods will be an amount greater than 10% of the Cash Price. If you are approved for a loan the weekly payment is only an estimate. Please review the actual terms in your loan agreement if you are approved. Your rates, terms and payment schedule are subject to approval pursuant to underwriting criteria and may vary by state. FlexShopper provides offers for Lease to Own Options, however, we do not make any loan or credit decisions and are not representative, brokers or agents for any Lenders.

3 If approved by FlexShopper customers that reside in Florida, Texas and North Carolina, the Cash Price is the price we charge for a cash sale of the item. The Cash Price may be higher than the cash price you would pay if you were to purchase the item directly from the merchant shipping the merchandise on FlexShopper and/or affiliates behalf. If approved by another payment option provider the cash price is the invoice amount of the item excluding taxes, shipping and other fees.

5 Good credit is not necessary but not everyone with bad credit is approved. Our goal is to help consumers with not so perfect credit get goods they want through a payment offer that works for you.

7 An initial payment or security deposit and/or payment may be required before fulfillment.

8 If approved by FlexShopper customers that reside in Florida, Texas and North Carolina you will own the item(s) and not have to pay any additional amount if you pay the full Cash Price (the Cash Price is the price we charge for a cash sale of the item (or $50 more than the price the merchant you select charges) plus sales taxes and may be higher than the price you would pay if you were to purchase the item(s) directly; if you rent multiple items at the same time, we reduce the Cash Price (and increase the Cost of Rental) by $50 for the second and each subsequent item you rent, which makes it less expensive to purchase the items before the end of the term of the Lease). After 90 days, you also have an Early Purchase Option that allows you to own your item(s) for less. Simply refer to the table in your Lease to look up the Early Purchase Option amount after each payment date. If approved by another payment option provider please refer to the terms and conditions of your agreement.

9 All lease/loan decisions and rates and terms are subject to approval pursuant to underwriting criteria related to the applicant’s credit quality. Rates and terms may also vary depending upon the state where you reside.
