I prefer to buy more higher quality electronics like speakers, TV, and computers with fewer features like voice commands, a touchscreen, webcam, and fancy remote which I may rarely use. I rather buy electronics which are built better to survive hot temperatures, being dropped to the floor.
I sometimes buy cheaper models of phones made by brands like Samsung, LG, and Motorola since I don't need a lot of features. I'm afraid of things like the battery dying on cheaper phones, or somehow the battery or charger overheating and starting a fire.
Quality (and brand slightly) matters to be a lot over the features. If there was an unknown brand with some new features but there was an alternative by let's say, Samsung, I would probably go for the Samsung even if it didn't have the fancy new features.
