These days I never go for flagships. I want 1TB storage and if I choose the 1TB phones, they’d cost $1500. I could get a Samsung A-Series and have the 1TB MicroSD Card slot at around $400 for the phone + a 1TB MicroSD card at around $130, so basically a $530 phone with a 1TB storage, $1000 cheaper than a flagship. I don’t play any games anyways these days (too depressed), I don’t even need flagship specs.
I once used $50 phone because my main phone broke so I had to use that cheap phone as a temporary stopgap. It was a locked phone thats why I could get it so cheap. (Moto G Play 2023, btw)
(Now I use a $400-ish Samsung Galaxy A Series phone. I just can’t deal with the lagging and frequent freezing of a $50 phone)
I’d never want to pay 2,500 for a phone… tht’s just insane

I absolutely agree, luckily I got mine used for 870€.
Your spending that much on a used phone? I can’t phantom paying more than $600 for one
You’re willing to pay that much for a phone? I think my last one was $350.
OK, now someone else go lower.

I get that too. It helps to put it in perspective:
To put that into another perspective: it is around twice my country’s monthly median salary. This is still very wild.
That is insane as well. $300 for my Pixel was already painful enough. 870€ is a whole decent computer :/
Edit: could have got it for less, but it would’ve been secondhand.
