My phone for years has been the kind with half the face taken up with a non-touch screen and the other half with physical phone buttons, with a slide-out QWERTY keyboard hidden behind. I'm finally taking seriously the idea of getting a non-sliding-or-flipping touchscreen with all them fancy-shmancy extra programs in them. But how do I narrow it down beyond that? Looking at the collection of phones that one carrier offers as compatible with their services, Cricket for example, I see prices from $10 to $800 on the same page (HTC Desire 550 & Samsung Galaxy S10). What causes people to want phones that cost more?
Is there any real difference in the user's experience between iOS and Android? (I have an Android tablet and have had no problem figuring out how to use it, but I've never tried an Apple.)
Cameras... I don't care. But I presume there's more to these differences than that.
Pictures of the different models are usually from the front, but they seem to have different combinations of buttons around the edges. Do some manufacturers/models feature different physical buttons that you'd want to make sure you have (or don't have)?
Size, or screen size... I can see the relevance, but most of them don't announce their sizes. Is this the main driver of price, so price could be used as a proxy of size, or would I need to chase down their specifications wherever they might be hiding in order to really compare them? (Also, the most expensive I've seen lately, the Samsung Galaxy S10, has the screen covering so much of one surface that there's not much room left for the speaker & microphone, which seems like a bad idea for phone call quality. Are we to think they've found a way around that, or just that having such a vast screen is worth the sacrifice in sound (at least if your use for it is more pocket-computer than portable-phone)?)
What else is left? Is it just some being faster or having more memory or such than others, like with computers? Are there any specific tricks that some up their sleeves and others just don't at all no matter how smoothly they might handle everything else?
