Next, I tried to collect good and bad reputations about arrows smartphones on Twitter.
I will introduce it below, so please check it out.
With the exception of some models, most of the arrows can be purchased for less than 50,000 yen.
In particular, the arrows We scheduled to be released in December is a 5G smartphone, but it is cheap to purchase at the 20,000 yen level, and the goodness of its cost performance has become a hot topic on the Internet.
Arrows smartphones are perfect for people who want to keep their smartphone charges down.
As will be described later, there are many people who hesitate to use arrows smartphones because of the performance of models released in the past.
Even for such people, the goodness of arrows We's cost performance seems to be a point to be evaluated.
As mentioned in the above tweet, if you want the specs of a high-end model, I think that it is not enough, but since it is compatible with 5G and you can use Osaifu-Keitai, it is perfect for people who want to feel free to try 5G!
The arrows smartphone has a good reputation for its durability, such as being strong against water and being hard to break even if it is given a shock.
In addition, a simple mode is installed, and the home screen that makes it easier to see the characters and the setting of the speed dial make it easy to make a call to a specific person, and there are many functions for beginners and elderly people.
The price is even easier to buy, and I think it's relatively easy to use for parents and seniors who are thinking about having a smartphone.
Next, I would like to introduce negative reviews.
There is nothing to do except that it is a domestic manufacturer. It's pretty dry.
This time, relatively many people praise arrows We for its cheapness and good cost performance, but the arrows smartphones so far have not always been so.
It was sometimes called a "hand warmer" because it only generated heat, and there was even a voice saying "a smartphone for restarting" because it was restarted too many times.
However, this is only for the models that were sold before, and there is not much trouble with the models that are currently on sale.
That said, people who had a strong impact at the time tend to have the image that "arrows smartphones = not very good".
As mentioned above, it seems that some people associate arrows with the fact that smartphones are hot.
The image of "arrows smartphone = fever" is so strong.
I rarely hear such stories on the arrows smartphones currently on sale (it may generate heat due to high outside temperature or overuse), but many people who still have the previous image buy it. You hesitate, don't you?

Based on the introduction, word of mouth and reputation of arrows smartphones so far, we will summarize the advantages and disadvantages of arrows smartphones.
Advantages of choosing arrows smartphone Disadvantages of choosing arrows smartphoneLet's take a closer look below.
The appeal of arrows smartphones is that all models are cheap and can be purchased for less than 50,000 yen, and there are many entry models equipped with only the minimum specifications that are advantageous for light users.
All smartphones should not be high-end models. For those who don't use smartphones very often, there are many models that will be left over.
However, since the arrows smartphone has the minimum specifications and the price is quite cheap, even those who do not use the smartphone so much can operate it at a good price.
In addition, the arrows smartphone is excellent in waterproofing such as being washable with hand soap, and has a good reputation for impact resistance that makes the screen hard to break.
A smartphone that we usually use without taking our skin off. In fact, it is said to be quite dirty.
Therefore, arrows smartphones, which have many washable models, are also recommended for people who want to emphasize cleanliness.
In addition, there is also the appeal that the screen is hard to break when falling, and some word of mouth said, "The smartphone I used so far has mostly broken the screen, but only the arrows are not broken."
It is also suitable for people who often use it outside or who usually have a smartphone screen that is in a state of fluttering.
In addition to the washable screen in the previous chapter and the fact that the screen is not easily cracked, some models of arrows smartphones are equipped with a "simple mode" for beginners and the elderly.
The characters are easy to see, and the speed dial function that allows you to make a call to the other party just by tapping a specific icon is designed to be friendly to those who use the smartphone for the first time.
The price is also very cheap compared to other models, so it may be a model that is easy to introduce to family smartphone debuts.
The advantage and disadvantage of arrows smartphones is that there are many entry models.
Previously, specs and models that should be called high-end models were sold, but it was an impression that many people felt that they were unsatisfactory compared to other iPhones, Xperia, and Galaxy.
Those who want to emphasize specs and want high-end model smartphones should not choose.
As mentioned in the word-of-mouth / reputation chapter, there are many very dry opinions regarding performance.
It wasn't because of the models currently on sale, but because there was a problem with the models that were released a long time ago, and many people still have that image.
Of the many options, few people use smartphones that have a negative image.
However, as explained in the merit chapter, the cost performance is top class, so if you want to keep the cost of your smartphone down, why not take this opportunity to take the courage to use it?

Finally, I will summarize the points of arrows smartphones.
points of arrows smartphoneThe arrows smartphone has a good reputation not only for its good cost performance, but also for its durability such as the screen is hard to break and can be washed.
In addition, many models are equipped with a simple mode, which is also popular as a smartphone for the elderly and beginners.
On the other hand, many people have a negative image of the previous arrows smartphone, and many people are worried about the performance of the models currently on sale.
With the arrows smartphones currently on sale, you rarely hear troubles like the models sold before, so you shouldn't have to worry about it.
If you want to keep your smartphone charges down and want a smartphone that is easy to use even for beginners, why not consider purchasing it?
