What is actually slowing you down?

Write down the problems you notice every day: a battery that interrupts your commute, too little storage, or a camera that struggles indoors. Start your shortlist with those needs rather than a model number.

How much storage do you use?

Check your current storage in Settings. Leave room for the photos, videos and apps you expect to add. Compare the cost of more built-in storage with the convenience and recurring cost of cloud storage.

What already works together?

Think about your watch, headphones, laptop and charging accessories. Changing phones may also mean changing parts of your everyday setup.

What condition are you buying?

Ask whether the phone is new, used or refurbished. For a used device, request details about battery condition, repairs, activation locks and what is included. Confirm the exact model and SIM compatibility.

What does the quote include?

Confirm the model, colour, storage, condition, delivery arrangements and any warranty terms in writing. Ask Con Dios about your shortlist before making a decision.
