There are different types of phone users based on how they
get a new phone and how they use it. Their different categories are enumerated
below:
1. I See, I Like, I Buy:
These set of people just buy any phone, anyhow, anytime, any
amount. Based on "that's what is trending now" or they just like the
phone when they saw it. Today iPhone 6, tomorrow galaxy S6 Edge, next tomorrow
Blackberry priv.
2. Annual Upgrade:
These set of people have one particular brand of phone they
use. They just buy a new version of it once its out. And use it till the next
version is out. Is this set of people you find on queue waiting for sales to
begin on the next version "iphone" especially. I still don't see 'why
I go line up for days just because I wan buy the latest iphone'.
3. Bi-annual Upgrade:
These set of people don't buy latest flagships, they buy
flagships of 2 years old. For example, when galaxy s5 came out, my friend
bought s3, now there is s6, he is using s4.
4. Team London-used:
These set of people don't buy new phones, they prefer to buy
refurbished phones or 2nd hand. And most times they buy phones irregularly, any
time they enter market, they swap of sell their current phone and buy another
2nd hand phone. 'If you mention say you like their phone, the next thing they
go tell you is "you wan buy am? Na for sale o!"'
5. Phone Gift:
These set of people don't even buy phones. The phone they
use were given to them as a gift, and they would use that phone till the next
"phone gift" arrives..and their phone dey hardly lost or spoil...cos
na gift so they go dey carry the phone like egg. People that won their phone in
a contest also falls here.
6. Heritage:
These set of people don't also buy phones, they collect
ex-phones from their parents or uncle/aunty. Also people that fall here are
those who just go home and pick any phone lying around that no one is using,
clean and use. Una know yourself. You don dey eye your uncle s6 edge because
say e be "annual upgrade" and s7 dey launch February.
7. Maximum Output:
These set of people buy phone once, and use the phone till
it develops fault, gets stolen or just lost, or it becomes completely unusable
before they consider buying another. Some of them, you have to beg
them.."Oga, you still dey use this phone? This your phone don try na, abeg
buy new one"
8. Phone Thieves:
These set of people are very coveteous and all they do is
make calculated attempts to steal the phones of others. They are commonly found
in school hostels.
