Tips for buying a new phone
购买新手机的小贴士


1. Narrow down your options
   缩小选择范围
   Step number one is to narrow down your options from the hundreds of phones available to just a few. The first thing to do is set a budget and stick to it. This means phones that cost more than what you’re willing to spend are out of the picture. So if your budget is $400, forget about high-end devices.
   第一步是把你的选择范围从数百个手机缩小到少数几个。首先要做的是制定预算并严格遵守。这意味着那些比你愿意花的钱更多的手机是不可能购买的。因此，如果你的预算是400美元，那就不要考虑高端设备了。
2. Get an expert’s take
   征求专家意见
   The best way to do it is to see what experts think about the phones you’re interested in via phone reviews. You want to hear the good as well as the bad qualities of the phones on your shortlist, which will help you make your purchase decision.
   最好的方法是通过手机评论来了解专家对你感兴趣的手机的看法。了解你的候选名单上的手机的优点和缺点，这将有助于你做出购买决定。
3. Go hands-on
   动手操作体验
   The next step is to go hands-on, which means popping down to your local electronics store and testing out the few phones that are on your shortlist. You want to check what the phones look like in person, as the images shared by manufacturers are often misleading.
   下一步是动手操作，这意味着要去当地的电子产品商店，测试一下你的候选名单上的几款手机。你需要亲自查看手机的外观，因为制造商发布的图片往往会误导用户。
