Most ppl often question is this HP worth it or not... comparing this hp and that hp function and tings like that.... so i decided to write some simple guide below
Mobile selection and purchasing guide:
1. Money/Budget: How much money you have, what's your budget for ur new phone, this is the first constraint, what u buy is what u willing to spent... if you do not have budget constrain then you can go to next step.
2. Functionality and Performance: If you do not have budget constraint, then go for the best hp in the market, despite the price is skyrocketing till 2k-3k... if you thinking about issit worth it or not... then you can go to next step...
3.Value for money: Simple calculation on how to select your phone, 1st: List down all the function you hope you can acquire, 2nd: List down all the function that you must have, after u list down, then you can start comparing....... how? how to compare? below is the steps:
a. Put separate pricing for all the things you wan according to importancy. eg. GPS: RM200, WIFI: RM100, this is to quantify what you need and dont need.
b. Add up all the value together and you get a total price, the one with the highest price using this method will be the one that can satisfy you the most, however if you thinking worth it or not you will have to look at the difference of your ideal estimation and the actual price, lowest difference between ur estimation and actual will be the one u looking for.
according to information i provided, the combination should either be option 1 + option 3 or option 2 + option 3, either budget+value or without budget+value, following is an example i will show u all:
My pricing according function to my preference (Must have list):-
GPS = RM500 (Most important to my liking)
Wifi = RM400 (2nd to my liking)
MMS = RM350 (2nd important to me)
3G = RM300 (3rd important to me)
Video Recording = RM200 (not that important already)
Camera = RM100 (I got SLR with me... not really important)
Total = RM1850
My pricing according function to my preference (Additional component):
8 megapixel = RM20
5 megapixel = RM10
With flash = RM10
VGA Video recording = RM20
Additional card slot = RM10
HD Video recording = RM50
1. Phone A Original Price = RM2000:
Function: GPS = RM500, WIFI = RM400, 3G = RM300, MMS = RM350, 5MP Camera with flash = RM10+RM100+RM10, VGA Recording = RM200+RM20
Estimated Ideal Total Price = 500+400+300+350+10+100+10+200+20 = RM1890
Original minus Ideal total price = RM110 (lower price for better value)
2. Phone B Original Price = RM2400:
Function GPS = RM500, WIFI = RM400, 3G = RM300, MMS = RM350, 8MP Camera with flash = RM20 + RM100 + RM10, HD Video recording = RM200+RM50
Estimated Ideal Total Price= 500+400+300+350+100+200+RM50+RM20+RM10 = RM1930
Original minus Ideal total price = RM470 (higher price for best value)
For those who got dont mind paying or without budget constraint they should got for Phone B, for those who wan value for money, they should go for Phone A, as it can provide best satisfaction at a lower money for value.
