I was not "Playing the thrift card", simply asking what the extra money buys in terms of performance and capability. I know all about "perceived" value, "pride of ownership", etc. Those are valid reasons to spend money. Paying ten times for a device that will perform the same as all the other phones is a waste of money. In my opinion. One person says there are things his expensive phone will do that mine won't. Those things happen to be of no interest or value to me. That is why I asked. I have busted a few electronics in my time and crunching a $90 LG Smartphone is not as painful as killing a $500 unit. Unless, I am missing some feature or function that someone has not mentioned.
You're the only one who can determine if the higher priced brands/models will be worth it for you.
We can't guess as to what functions and features you will find useful.
For me, I don't worry about what my phone (or any device) doesn't do until I find that I need functions my certain device can't do. Then I go find a device that has those functions.
