Finding a great mobile phone deal in a market that is flooded with handset choices can be a difficult task.
You could opt for a lower specification smartphone to get a phone on the cheap but you should consider superseded phones as an alternative option.
Superseded mobiles may be available at those same low costs but the specifications, apps and features will be top-of-the-range.
So let’s take a look at the very best superseded phones.
The Apple iPhone 4s with an 8GB memory will undoubtedly be the number one choice of superseded phone from many. The high-end specification includes an 8 megapixel camera, dual-core processor, video recording at full HD and Siri the digital assistant.
With a 3.5-inch retina display you could today consider this phone as ‘mini’ as most modern smartphones now have screens measuring 4.5 to 5-inches.
The Samsung Galaxy SIII has a fully-loaded spec and a price tag that will delight. A true smartphone sized screen measuring 4.8-inches is offered on this superseded cell phone along with an 8 megapixel camera with 1080p video recording, Android v4.0 operating system, voice activated photo capturing and video calling with a quality 1.9 megapixel forward facing webcam.
You can also get your first taste of multitasking with Pop Up Play where you can watch HD videos whilst sending a text or email.
The Sony Xperia Z again boasts a full smartphone sized screen at 5-inches for minimal page scroll. Android v4.1 is on board along with a 13 megapixel camera, Facebook and Twitter integration onto the home screen and a document viewer for opening email attachments.
The Sony Xperia Z2 is about to launch, replacing the Xperia Z1, so there may be a further drop in price just around the corner.
The BlackBerry Z10 is astoundingly good value and perfect for both business and personal user. Possibly the best value for money out of the 4 smartphones mentioned here the BlackBerry Z10 has an 8 megapixel camera with HD video recording and a web cam rated at 2 megapixels.
The Z10 is 4G ready and comes pre-loaded with the BlackBerry Hub, Docs to Go, Foursquare, Maps, Adobe Reader and Camera Time Shift.
As you can see from these 4 superseded mobile phones it is most definitely worth considering an older phone design over a newer but lower-specified model.
