Today I really want to share with you about my phone which has been a constant companion with me for the past two years. In fact, it’s a gift I received from a sister around two years ago, so although its sentimental value remains undeniable, its functionality has unfortunately declined. To give you some details, I see that its functionality has deteriorated significantly. For example, the storage was insufficient for me to take photos as I’m photography enthusiast. Additionally, the phone can get overheated quite easily, even when I just use it for a short time, like 30 minutes. So these drop-backs have significantly affected my daily lives. For example, as a student, I really need to search for materials on the internet or stay connected with my friends. However, the phone hinders my progress to do these things. Additionally, in a recent unfortunate incident, however, I accidentally dropped it in the pool near my house. Much to my astonishment, I vividly recall how panicked and worried I was when I could not open it, and it literally died. Afterward, the price to fix it really caught me off guard, as it nearly equated the price to purchase a new one. So, after considering that, I think that the phone has somehow hindered my ability to streamline daily tasks, and that I should better purchase a new one rather than sticking with it. So, yeah, I’ve been considering a lot of versions on the internet and also on the store’s name, I have to pick out the one that has more ample storage, and the one that could help me streamline daily tasks. And yeah, the phone is, I think, that I really want to replace.
