Getting what specs you need or be greedy?

Newly released devices could be replaced with a new one in just a day, hour, minute or even for just a second because of the past phase improvement in our technology. Wanting something with your phone now might not be what you want later after you've seen an advertisement of a new device that is better than what you have or what you are wanting at the moment. Having the latest specs for your device has obviously its own advantages compared to the old ones but did you know it has a disadvantage too?

Having the latest specs makes you look cool, feel good and rely more on your device because of what it is capable of. Is it worth it? Yes and no. Yes, because you'll be able to test the product yourself. Do the things with your device that other devices can't or poor of. having the latest specs could let you do things easier or make a new trick that can satisfy your fantasy of having a device that is capable of doing what you were just dreaming last night or the other day but will your happiness last for a year, month, week or even a day once you've seen a new advertisement of a newer device just now? No, because the technology is faster than what we know it is.Aside from that, getting a new device without reading a review or knowing someone who have tested the device might make it a risk for you to buy it beforehand. Some newly released devices still have flaws. These flaws were experienced by the people who bought and used the device but not all new devices has its flaws. That is why it could be a risk.

Having a device which has the nearest preferred specs you expect, that has been tested, is your best bet. This kind of device lasts longer than having a newly released device which you are not sure of the quality. Either way, this is just a matter of choice. There is still no harm on choosing the latter as long as for you it is the best device you could ever had.

In the long run, one should only change or upgrade when the old no longer works as intended. I think everyone should make certain they save up as much money as they can so they can survive longer in society, should they ever face a period without a job.

The part where you mention that you could be testing the product? The biggest testing part is already over, you just pay for it and report all bugs. They'll get fixed, but you still have to wait for that fix. Actual "beta" testers don't need to pay, they even get paid.
This is just how I see it, others may see this as an opportunity to help the product, and hope to get a bit of recognition for it.
