Smartphones / Dialog
A: Can you help me, please? Why is this smartphone cheaper than that one?
B: This one is a budget model. That one is a top-of-the-range phone. It's got all the latest features.
A: What are the main differences between them?
B: The main advantage of budget smartphones is the lower price. They've got the same basic functions, but they haven't got as many extra features.
A: Can you still get a good Internet connection on the cheaper ones?
B: Yes, no problem.
A: What about downloading films?
B: If you want a smartphone for downloading, playing games, etc. It's better to get one of the more expensive models. This Timewise Mercury is great value.
A: What other disadvantages has the budget smartphone got?
B: The camera isn't as good as on an expensive model. The images are lower resolution and the lens and sensors are lower quality.
A: That's good to know. The camera is what I use most.
B: Also, the battery in a budget smartphone doesn't last as long as in the more expensive models. The battery life is less than eight hours. The others last more than ten.
A: OK. Thank you for the information.
