The Instacart buying guide for phones
Whether your old phone just broke or you're looking to upgrade to the newest phone model, Instacart can make shopping for a brand-new phone a breeze. With all the different types of phones available, choosing the right one for your needs can be challenging. There's a lot to consider, from the pixel count on the camera to the memory and storage capabilities before making your phone purchase.
Types of phones
The two most common types of phones are those powered by Apple and those powered by Android. If you prefer an Apple iPhone, you can choose from the iPhone 12 Pro, iPhone 12, and iPhone 12 mini, the newest iPhones. To save a little money, opt for a slightly older version, such as the iPhone 11 Pro Max, iPhone SE, or the iPhone XS. You'll have more options if you choose Android as your phone's operating system. Some of the most popular brands that use Android include Google Pixel, Samsung, Motorola, and Nokia.
Aside from the brand, you'll also want to think about the screen size you need for your new phone. The most common sizes are 5, 5.5, and 6in. In addition, think about the phone's camera functionality. If you just want to snap a few photos, the pixel count may not matter much, but for anyone who wants to use the camera on their phone in a more professional way or to take videos, consider how the phone will perform in this capacity. Battery life, durability, and storage capacity are just a few of the other things to think about when searching for the perfect phone.
Phone cases
Protecting your phone is a good idea, especially if it's brand-new. Instacart makes it easy to pick out a phone case that will fit your new phone just right. The variety of phone cases is huge, so choosing just one could be difficult, but your Instacart shopper won't mind picking out more than one for you if you just can't decide.
Phone cases come in all shapes and sizes, so make sure you choose one that will fit over your phone tightly to keep it safe. They also come in various colors and patterns, making it easy to find one that suits your personality. OtterBox is a popular choice when it comes to phone cases because they're known for being very durable. Other brands people love for their phone case needs are LifeProof and CASETiFY.
No matter what type of phone you get, finding the right case is easy, thanks to the Instacart app. Simply pick out the phone case that works for you, add it to your cart, and wait for it to be delivered. It will show up at your door the very same day you order it, along with anything else you put in your cart.
Other phone accessories
After you add your new phone and a beautiful phone case to your cart, don't forget to put a few other phone accessories in there as well. You'll definitely want to make sure you have a good charging cord. Choose a nice long cord to ensure you can reach the outlet no matter how far away it is, or you can get a pack of cords that have a variety of sizes, so you'll always have one that's just the right length. If your phone has wireless charging capabilities, make sure you get a wireless charging pad.
A screen protector is another good purchase to make for your phone. Most people have had the screen on their phone crack or get scratched. Prevent this from happening to your new phone by adding a screen protector to your cart that will fit perfectly over the face of your phone. Keep your screen clean and protected with a stylus. Using a stylus to click on apps and scroll through emails is a good way to prevent fingerprints and smudges from building up on the screen. This is another fun and handy item that can easily be added to any order via Instacart.
