With the acceleration of the pace of life, many people do not have time to go to the mall, including buying some expensive electronic objects, digital products such as mobile phones and computers, which have become indispensable tools around us, and the brand is even more dazzling. Today's mobile phones are really diverse, various models and various functions are dazzling, and many people will face difficulties in choosing when buying mobile phones.
At the same price, choosing what kind of mobile phone is more suitable for you is a serious problem. However, most people have a consensus, that is, to buy online. Of course, it is not excluded that people who go to the physical store to buy, online purchases say that online shopping is good, and physical stores are good. So what's the difference between the two?
The selection is different
Online we can have more choices, because we can directly through a variety of shopping APP, to a variety of flagship stores or mobile phone stores directly selected, do not have to run to the store, do not like this store but also to change to another store, very troublesome, and consume time and energy.
With so many stores online, no matter which brand we choose, as long as we see it in the online store, we can choose it. And there are some mobile phones that we can only buy online, and the offline has not yet arrived, so the online goods are also more abundant. Some merchants will even give away some small gifts.
The experience is different
The biggest difference between online shopping and physical store shopping: online shopping cannot be touched, relying on trust and parameters; physical stores are real and can be touched and seen. Because this is different, many people choose differently when buying mobile phones.
For example, buying a mobile phone online, because you can't see it, you can only compare the quality of the mobile phone through various parameters. Even if you look at the comments and post pictures, watching the video does not have the feeling of directly getting your hands on it. Therefore, the parameters and cost performance of mobile phones have become the first choice for online shopping.
But this will also fall into a strange circle, sometimes some things can not be compared through parameters. For example, Xiaomi is known as a billion elephant mobile phone, the effect of taking pictures is not much better than Apple, Huawei photos are also exaggerated, but there is always a layer of filter feeling. This is something you don't feel when you haven't experienced it in a brick-and-mortar store.
There is also the feel of the mobile phone, the price of the Redmi K30 Pro is very low, only more than 2000, which makes people feel very cost-effective.
But after the purchase, many people directly called "cheated". Because of its extremely heavy fuselage, the fever is also very serious, which is not at all the same as the legend.
Physical store purchases will not have this problem, because it can be seen, first of all, from the appearance of the value can eliminate a lot of mobile phones. Secondly, physical store purchases can be given priority to experience, and you can more intuitively feel the functions and feel of the mobile phone.
Buying a mobile phone in a physical store, we may not know much about the parameters and performance of the mobile phone, unless there is a promotional advertisement in the store, at this time, we can only listen to the oral introduction of the boss or the clerk, at this time, in order to sell the mobile phone, they may exaggerate the performance of the mobile phone. In order to sell mobile phones, the online store will list all the highlights of the mobile phone, and even introduce us through video, so that we can understand the phone as much as possible. We can shop around multiple websites in case they exaggerate the publicity.
Prices vary
Online, we can compare all aspects of the performance and price of mobile phones by comparing all aspects of mobile phones to buy a more affordable and cheap mobile phone. And there will be a lot of offers online when shopping for festivals, and many people will buy mobile phones online during these festivals.
In the physical store, we can also bargain or if we have acquaintances, we can also get cheaper mobile phones, and at the same time, like some small brands of mobile phones, we can buy them in the store, which may be cheaper.
Compared with offline, many people will feel cheaper than offline when they think of online things. In fact, it is not, and in real comparison, some items are even more expensive online than offline. Many people who have not bought a mobile phone in a physical store believe that online mobile phones are cheaper, the first is that the online is directly sold in flagship stores, there is no big difference; the second is generally considered to be lower cost online. In fact, coupled with shipping costs, packaging and other issues, the price of online items is not low.
Brands like mobile phones, each store will also strive to pull into the gap in product prices, they will be through a variety of promotional activities, the product discount. The result is that mobile phones purchased online are sometimes better priced than physical stores.
Many people who have bought a mobile phone online understand this. Now there are many flagship stores of mobile phones in various cities, and you can see it by visiting the square casually, so some netizens are curious to walk into the flagship store of mobile phones, and they will deeply regret that their mobile phones are expensive.
Then again, some brands of ultra-cost models are not available for sale offline, so if you want to buy this type of mobile phone, you can only buy it online.
Repair and return rules are different
As we all know, as long as it is a domestic big-name mobile phone, it is generally provided by the brand side for after-sales mobile phone maintenance and warranty. It doesn't matter if you buy a phone online or offline.
However, there is a big difference, that is, the rules for returning and exchanging goods. Each brand of return after the rules are different, the current recognition of the best service is Apple, Apple's official said, Apple's official website and store, to provide 14 days of return, as long as the product is not damaged, within 14 days can be returned.
However, this is only an official description, in fact, the management of each store is different in each region. However, due to platform restrictions on the Internet, various merchants are still relatively relaxed about the problem of returning and exchanging goods. However, some merchants do not follow the rules of the platform, requiring that as long as the mobile phone is unsealed, it is not allowed to return and replace, they said that the mobile phone is not a new machine, and the buyer has no choice but to do anything about it.
As for physical store purchases, in general, there are few returns and exchanges. After all, they are all hand-held, personally unsealed in front of the clerk, and any problems can be solved in time. However, it is not excluded that some people will find mobile phone problems in two or three days after returning home, then it is more troublesome to return and replace in the physical store, and the physical store will provide a warranty, but it is rarely willing to provide a return.
