A priority

Do we need so many features in a device?
It is nice to have everything on one device so we won't need other things right?
Maybe, but what I found often is that I only use approximately less than 30% of the features in my devices or apps.
When I want to buy a device I will compare all the specs and these features were some of the considerations to take in deciding which device to buy. But after buying it, suddenly these same features just feels like they overloading the device when I need it to only do the main thing.
That's why it is really important to have a priority in the specs we want. Do we prioritize the look? do we want it to look good when we use it? or do we prioritize the ability to take a picture? does it really important to have 4k video features? what do we really want to do with the device?
When we want everything, we may end up with a device with high specs, but often with a high price. In my case, the expensive camera that has all the 'nice and important' features made me too cautious about using it because of the high price, I can't lose it that easily, so I ended up not take it out often when I wanted to take a video. And the 4k videos feature? I never needed them.
That is why it is really essential to choose a priority. A single priority. If it is multiple priorities, it will just bias our judgment and drive us away from what's really important.
I think this 'principle' also happens in many things in life when we don't have the main priority. When we don't have a single priority that is truly meaningful for us, it will be difficult to make a good judgment on what is important for us. Surely if it is a device, it doesn't matter that much, but if it is about our life and future, can we afford to get driven away from what's really important?
