Holidays are around the corner, you’re probably wondering what shiny new gadgets will be peeking out of your stocking. May we suggest…a new Android phone?

Face it: Your phone looks like it’s been secretly attending one Fight Club. The screen is so cracked that your fingers are starting to bleed. You haven’t even bothered to check if your phone will get Android 5.0, because you haven’t even gotten 4.4 yet. You’ve already swapped out your phone’s battery six times. In other words, it’s probably time to upgrade, these are the reasons why.

It’s huge, not in the good way

If you’re still rocking a phone from 1999, I have only one question for you: How??

It’s seen better days

You’re still running Android 2.3

This is what your phone looks like to other people.

Your camera takes three minutes to open

… another three minutes to take a photo. And don’t even think about turning on HDR.

It won’t…  or rather, can’t… run newer apps

See that Cut the Rope holiday update? Yeah, you can’t have that.

You’re lucky if your battery lasts for two hours

the list dying

… you can’t even really charge it, because the charging port is broken.

‘Cracked’ doesn’t even begin to describe your screen

the list cracked

en a hairline crack becomes a gaping hole, it’s probably time to upgrade.

You have pets

t-owners: You know exactly what I’m talking about.
