Apple and Samsung win because they charged you more than twice the cost of the OnePlus 5 and similar phones, and don't add much to justify the additional cost.

Your an absolute sucker these days if you buy a high end smartphone. $300 - $400 is the ideal price range to shop in these days.

I'm considering upgrading to an S8+

I'm still rocking the S5, it may be time.


Although at this point I may as well wait for the s9.

Well, I have to try the iPhone X before I can make an accurate judgement.

Those other phones are shit when you consider these $1k phones will be available for $300-$500 (even cheaper, like the Pixels for $240 with $100 GCs last November and December) with deals in a few months and those other phones will drop down to $200 max.

Also most people who are not getting deals just use the free financing, which doesn't psychologically seem much when it's between $30 or $40 a month.

It doesn't seem like much but my $400 phone + $40 a month bill will end up being under half the price of whatever phone / plan combo you have with the new iPhone or Note over the course of 2 years.

Which, again makes it very hard to justify the slightly better specced phone when your paying double for it.

Edit: and you ain't getting these phone for $300 - $500 anytime soon, idk what the fuck your talking about there.

I know, I'm saying people who don't care to look for deals are not gonna care about that difference. But if you do, then deals will be available and fast.

Even now, with the Note 8 just released, they're already giving it out with a BOGO, making it $450 each if you're going for two with another person/selling one and that deal is mild at best. Just last month I picked up a bunch of LG G6s for $120 each from Best Buy. It was released a few months ago and shits on most budget phones. The S8 has already hit BOGO and $350 and that too was released a few months ago. The S8+ with a cheap trade in hit $320 already. Last year they gave out the iPhone 7 for free at launch if you traded in your i5-i6S.
