What to Look for When Choosing a New Device

Specs vs Price

A huge reason for getting a new phone is to upgrade from your old one and run the latest games and apps. While that may be the case, try not to break your bank getting the most expensive one as mid-range phones can run Pokemon TCG Pocket just fine.

Style vs Comfort

If you prefer your phone to have its own flair, try to go for Phones like the Nothing Phone or any of the Galaxy Z Flip Phones. If you do like to stay on Apple ecosystem with its easy to use interface, getting a cute case from the Pokemon Center Store is also an option.

Accessibility vs Specs

While bigger items like tablets might be great for their battery-life and better specs, the accessibility of your account on the go should also be considered. You only ever open the game twice a day to open packs anyways, so get the one that suits your lifestyle better.
