At times a product might be of quality. The brand might not be well known or preferred by you.In that case, you have to decide whether it is worth risking for the product. Warranty and customer support You should see if the product you are buying is covered under a warranty policy. A good brand is likely to have an industry-standard warranty policy including the coverage period and damages covered. Even if the product is out of warranty coverage, you need to know if the brand offers repair and components. Ecosystem integration and accessory support Once you buy a phone, you may also want to invest in accessories, and secondary products like smartwatches, earphones, etc from the same brand. A good brand ensures the phone owner gets good options for accessories like cases, chargers, etc on the brand’s store itself. It will also ensure the secondary products work seamlessly with the phone and may even open up convenient use cases and quality-of-life features. The warranty and after-sale support associated with the accessories and secondary devices are also important. Brand image and lifestyle The above reasons contribute to a brand becoming a brand. But once it is a brand, an aspirational value is associated with owning its products. You may want to own a specific brand’s product to show it off to people around you. Also, sometimes depending on the kind of lifestyle you have, you may want to buy a specific brand’s phone. Resale value The bigger the brand, the more its product’s perceived value is. So, even when you go to sell it, the second-hand buyer would be ready to pay relatively more than what a non-branded or inferior branded phone would get you. So, the resale value of a specific brand’s phone is also something you need to consider. FAQs Which is the number 1 Android brand? Samsung is the Number 1 Android brand in terms of shipments.
