ArchiePeck 01/01/20 1:59:32 PM #15:	I never pay money upfront for my phone it's just financed into an 18 month plan (this is quite common in the UK). That said, my S10 has the power of a decent PC (it can run Gamecube games perfectly fine, I'm playing Paper Mario just now) and is a high definition video camera and a GPS for my car and countless other things so the upfront value is hardly ridiculous when you think about it... <cite>ArchiePeck posted [p:932326736] in Would you ...

Wetterdew 01/01/20 2:26:42 PM #20:	It would have to be really great. A $1000+ phone should be dramatically more appealing to me than one that's only $300, otherwise what's the point? The truth is the top-line phones are only somewhat more appealing than the phones I can get for much less. It would need: -Good vibrant OLED screen -5 inches or smaller--I'm sick of massive phones -No notch or hole punch on the screen -Fingerprint sensor on the front -Samsung pay -Good battery life -to be fast and snappy -Good cameras, especially at that price -Stereo speakers -to be bundled with good wireless headphones -an extra button like bixby that can be remapped --- Touch fuzzy get dizzy. <cite>Wetterdew posted [p:932327821] in Would you ...

Yeah, last year on a Samsung S9+. was it that much? i don't remember the price but i got it for the buy 1 get 1 free deal or whatever it was when i switched to t-mobile. so i only paid half and friend paid the other half. $1000 is pretty standard for any new phone now or close to it if you're getting something top of the line. i've had mine near 2 years and still works pretty good for the most part. my charging port is a little iffy tho so i might just replace it myself for like $20-30. battery life is dying a bit but i still get like 5 hours of screen time with it and have a battery case i keep at work if i'm not able to plug it in. it still has better battery life then the lg g4 i had before or my old s8. had extended batteries on both of those and even those were only getting around the same battery life i have now. <cite>creativeme posted [p:932381797] in Would you ...
