Greetings, Hive community! I'm not typically one to upgrade my phone unless necessary, but I wanted to share why I finally decided to make the switch. I'm not usually tech-savvy, so this was a big decision for me.
In December 2020, I purchased a Vivo Y11 phone. I've previously published an article explaining the reasons behind this choice, and you can find the link to that article here.

I'm looking to upgrade my phone to support my side hustles. I need a device with better specs, including more RAM and ROM, and an improved camera for high-quality photos.
Initially, I wanted the Vivo Y28, but it cost around 10,000 pesos. I considered using Shopee's Spaylater to buy it, but even with the one-year payment plan, the monthly payments would be too high and stressful.
My husband's phone LCD broke again, and despite replacing it, the screen malfunctioned. I suggested he purchase a new phone instead of continuing to repair the old one.
I wanted a new phone and was looking at budget options online. I discussed it with my husband and I suggested we get a Vivo instead, as they have the best signal reception where we live. I decided to buy a phone from the Vivo Official store because I prefer to purchase from authorized retailers.
I recently ordered two Vivo Y03t phones, one for myself and one for my daughter, for 4,399 pesos each. My husband insisted I keep the new phone for my side hustles, and he'll use my old one. My daughter will use her new phone for college next year, and she'll pay the monthly installments with her income from working as my reliever. She's currently using my husband's old phone with a broken power button.
I placed an order for a new phone at night time. When I woke up around 4 am, I immediately reached for my phone to double-check the specifications of the model I had purchased. The Vivo Y11 and the phone I discovered have the same camera.
I canceled my initial phone order because I wanted to upgrade to a model with a better camera. I browsed the Vivo Official Store and found the Vivo Y18 for P7,499. After reviewing the specs and determining the monthly payment for a 6-month plan, I discussed the cost with my daughter. Once she agreed, I placed the order.
I eagerly awaited the arrival of my parcel, which I ordered on December 9th. It reached the city on December 12th at 10:21 pm, but to my dismay, the delivery attempt was unsuccessful due to a damaged package. I was particularly concerned because the parcel contained a phone, and I was unsure about the next steps or when it would be delivered.
The package was marked as damaged and the delivery attempt was unsuccessful on December 13 at 6 am. The seller advised me to contact Shopee directly, as they are the ones who have direct contact with the courier.
I felt a mixture of relief and apprehension when I received the notification at 9:35 am that the damaged package was finally out for delivery.
The package arrived at approximately 2:17 PM, and we were instructed to record the unboxing process.
I felt relieved after opening the box, checking the product, and verifying the seal was intact.
After the delivery guy left I immediately opened the box of the phone and did the unboxing. I was so happy to finally have a new upgraded phone.
I purchase the Vivo Y18 with 8GB+8 GB RAM and 256gbROM.

Here are some photos taken with the new phone's main and Selfie camera.

I enjoy macro photography, and I've found that my new phone makes it much easier to capture these types of shots.

My phone's performance has improved significantly, which is particularly beneficial for my side hustles. Having a high-quality camera is essential for my article writing as I need to capture clear and engaging photos.
As a vlogger and content creator on Facebook, I require a phone with ample storage and a high-quality camera to accommodate my photos and videos.
To prevent my phone from lagging while editing and posting videos for affiliate marketing on Shopee, I need a phone with higher RAM.
I can do my side hustles smoothly now.
Thank you for taking the time to read my article. I sincerely hope that you found it engaging and insightful. May divine blessings be bestowed upon us all as we continue our journeys.
