What is the different between expensive phone and cheap phone?

[plasticman99]

I know that the screen resolution and internal memory are different, but how about the speed? I mean the cheap new phone, which has the specification similar to flagship in the past.

Some cheap phones are good. I have a $20.00 trac phone, a Motorola, that works just fine for a phone.

workmanship is better and CPU is better

More powerful processor will be faster.

Screen, processor, RAM&Storage (both speed and capacity). Cameras. Extra hardware, like fingerprint or IR sensors. Speakers.... Waterproof certification...software features that require additional licensing from the HW vendors like Qualcomm. Phones with more features require more R&D to design, built and test... It wouldn't make much business sense for Samsung to pass along the cost to develop the S-Pen to users of the Galaxy Avant for instance.

Sometimes there are market segment concerns.... On top end, flagship-level phones, there is a little bit more room for price wiggling... whereas down in the mid and low-end tiers where competition is brutally tight, OEMs have to be a bit more aggressive in lowering prices.

It depends on how you use the phone. If you are using it just for calling and messaging, there's no difference, even with different screen resolutions. If you use it for playing games or watching videos then yes, there's a difference.

Some years before the difference was huge but now there is not so much difference for 90% of the tasks. The only advantages are that you can play some games with high requirements and you have a better camera.

Cheaper phones are so much slower in performing tasks. Have smaller internal storage. Have smaller external storage. Have poorer cameras. Have less "bling" features. Play certain games and videos worse.

Well this may offer a worthwhile view, two days battery life apart!!! (ignore the first 2m 30s)....The Phones Show 246 (MWC, Nexus 6 Lite(!)): https://youtu.be/G1E5tgpaTW0
