So you don&#8217;t have to compromise anything for the 1st year and another year you will have to compromise.<\/li>\n<li>It makes sense if you can take care of the phone, as after a year wear and tear is quite visible.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Dis-Advantages:\n<ul>\n<li>You will be stuck with a year old phone.<\/li>\n<li>Buyback generally is bad after a year.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>So basically it depends on your personal preference if you can manage a phone for 2 years without the temptation of a new phone then go for a flagship phone every alternate year or you can buy a mid-range every year.
