Question. Should I get a new phone or not?

[Milo Willamson]

Since my moto z2 force has been paid off, everything it is alright with this phone though. I got it on Sept. 11th of 2017, same time as I fell in love with someone. Give or taken on the mighty "Google pixel" for night shooting, but here is where the downpour comes in, I do not want to fork over a few dozen dollars for a new phone, ipso facto of having a "free" upgrade, I can wait until much later on getting a "Free upgrade" with a semi oldish phone that has night quality photo takers, I can easily download it on google play. I kind of do not need a new phone though, but it somewhat on my notifyed on my Verizon, I might lend it to my Mom one of these days..

Milo,

Maybe it's me, but I don't understand what you are trying to say. The title of this thread is "Question".. What's your question? I don't see a question being asked here. Can you clarify, please?

I missed it too.

Okay question: Should I get a new phone or not?

Sometimes a new phone purchase is out of need, Sometimes it is a matter of desire. It's a question that only you can answer.

You are right, it is not what I need, it is not what I desire, so I should save my free upgrade to whomever is in my family.

Should I get a new phone or not?

My Moto Z² Force is only 10 months old [because it was a new replacement for a defective one]. I love mine, and have no intention of ditching it any time soon. But I'm not you!

I always buy my phones directly from Motorola, so they're already paid for and that isn't a consideration. If I had the 'free upgrade' option, but it was for a not-very-new model, I'm not sure what I'd do. I guess it would depend on whether its specs were that much better than my current phone.

And if you do the 'free upgrade' thing through your carrier, does that lock you in to another 2-year contract with them? That's something to factor in. If you're happy with your carrier--its service, its coverage, its support, its cost, etc.--and want to stick with them, being locked in isn't a big problem.

You might try an old, tried-but-true method of deciding: write down the pros and cons of keeping/upgrading. Just make two columns on a piece of paper, one for pros the other for cons. When you're done, see which side is longer and go from there!
