I have always bought pretty basic smart phones, but I do like taking photos, and the image quality does seem to be significantly better on more expensive phones. I recently got a big raise at my job (about $15,000 more per year), and I'm thinking about buying a premium phone just to see if I end up feeling like it's worth it or not. Thought I would check with folks here first though to see what people think? Is it worth it to spend that much money on a phone? I guess if you hold onto it for 4 years or more it's not that bad, but it's just kind of a new way of thinking for me.
