The optimal period for replacing smartphones and headphones

Each gadget is designed to be used for a certain period of time. Not knowing when it's time to update it can lead to outdated technology and a decrease in performance. According to experts, the most optimal period for replacing smartphones and headphones from the point of view of financial literacy is 3-4 years.

When should you replace a smartphone?

Ekaterina Iksanova, Head of the Telecom and Gadgets Department of the M.Video-Eldorado Group, recommends replacing smartphones once every 3-4 years. According to him, during this period, the device fully pays off the money spent, and the user gets the maximum benefit from the purchase. After a few years:

- Battery capacity decreases significantly;
- Software limitations appear;
- Technical characteristics begin to become obsolete.

If you try to replace a smartphone too often, this can lead to significant costs. Therefore, switching to a new model every 3-4 years is an effective and financially viable solution.

Headphones also undergo technical wear and tear during use. Taking into account financial capabilities and operational efficiency, it is recommended to replace headphones once every 2-4 years.

Wired headphones: If used with care, they can last a long time.

Wireless headsets: Often require replacement after 2-3 years due to battery degradation and technical obsolescence.

Iksanova emphasizes that updating headphones during this period allows the user to maintain optimal sound quality and reliability without overpaying.

To extend the life of gadgets, it is important to treat them with care, use energy-saving methods and update the software when necessary. However, recognizing when it is time to replace technically obsolete devices is also part of effective use. Replacing smartphones and headphones once every 3-4 years is not only convenient, but also financially viable. Follow “Zamin” news on “Telegram”
