You strive to be a smart consumer. You’re ready to research before choosing your next smartphone. Here’s a thought, though, not everyone thinks that this research is required. Jesus Diaz, a writer for the lifehacker Web site, is one. He says that today’s smartphones are so the same it doesn’t matter what one you get for yourself.

Why? Diaz claims that today’s smartphones are so much alike that it doesn’t matter which users choose. Diaz says that users would barely notice a different moving from one smartphone product to another.
A Litany of Same?
Diaz says that all of today’s smartphones offer most of the same features: They let you browse the Internet, send e-mail messages, download apps, play music and watch movies. Most apps are available for all smartphone platforms.
Maybe Not?
But not everybody at lifehacker agrees with Diaz. Those who disagree point out that certain smartphones feature better cameras and more powerful batteries. And, despite what Diaz says, not every app is offered for each and every platform. Windows Phone users, for instance, have a more limited app selection. Who’s right? You’ll need to decide that one for yourself.
