How much should you spend on a new smartphone? While flagships seem to be getting more expensive by the year, laying your hands on a good smartphone is actually cheaper than ever. By all means splash the cash on a show-stopper like the iPhone 6 or HTC One M9 if you want to, but bear in mind that some crackers like the the 4G-enabled Motorola Moto E (2015) cost less than £100 on pay-as-you-go and only slightly more SIM-free. Another example, the LG G3 – TrustedReviews Phone of the Year in 2014 – is now available for less than £300 SIM-free. It's half the price of some other flagship phones. It’s still just as good now as it was last year, so it’s a great way to get top-end features at a lower price. Don’t assume you have to spend big on the latest and greatest.

What size smartphone should you buy? Large-screened mobiles are very much in demand these days, with even Apple embracing phablet fever. Phones measuring in at 5.5 inches and above can be considered as such, and are usually blessed with excellent displays that are great for watching videos and playing games on. Anything between 4.5 and 5.1 inches is more practical for fingers and pockets, while still good for browsing the web, gaming and more. 4-inch smartphones, meanwhile, are ideal for children and users who aren’t fussed about games and videos. If you're unsure what's best for then a 5-inch is a good size for most people.

Other things to consider You might consider extra features to be like the sprinkles on top of a cake, but they’re far more important than that. Things like microSD card slots, NFC, fingerprint scanners and water-resistance can dramatically affect the overall user experience of a smartphone. For more on these, and further buying advice, read our Mobile Phone Buyer’s Guide.
