It is tempting to want to own multiple smartphones. While it provides some convenience at a level, multiple smartphones could be a financial drain on some people. You might be asking, "in what ways"? Let's explore.

1) Higher chances of overspending on data plans: The two smartphones need frequent updates to apps and system software which would definitely strain your monthly internet subscription cap, even if you are using a shared plan.

2) Need for different accessories for the smartphones: It is not possible that multiple smartphones would use the exact same accessories accross board. That implies that you would have to double your expenses on getting accessories for your multiple mobile devices.

3) Double costs of repairs: Smartphones atr electronics and are prone to wear and tear which might mean you incur expenses on repairs. Multiple smartphones invariably double cost of routine repairs.
