Once my phone breaks, I spend $150-250 on a “new” old pixel. a couple gens behind, but honestly when I get the next one, it’s always basically the same, so I don’t know why I’d buy new. My current 4S’s battery is pretty shot, so it’s about time to upgrade again, but I’ll be sad to lose the tinier size and headphones jack. I never use the jack, but I like that it’s there as a backup.

I normally get a Pixel on contract or I’ll buy it outright if it’s on offer. The Pixel does tend to go on offer way more than an iPhone.

I bought my current phone for equivalent of 150 USD this year. I flashed lineage os immediately and without bloatware it is running pretty smooth. I am pretty happy with it.

Current phone was 240 euro. One before that was 460 but I got 5 years out of it. The only real difference I notice is in the screen.

Used to be max 200€, then 300€ and my last phone was 220€. But prices keep rising and next will probably be 500. I never do trade-ins though and keep using the old phones afterwards.

I try to adjust my budget for things based on how much time i spend using them. My glasses, bed, phones, and shoes have very little (relative to my budget) expenses spared. My most recent purchase was a pixel 8, back when it was relatively new around at around 700$. I plan on putting grapheneos on it at some point and keeping it for as long as i can reasonably get away with.

Before that, it was the samsung s20fe 5g, also at around seven or eight hundred. I used it without a case for two years and the screen broke too early for me to be entirely happy with it. Im treating my pixel a lot better in hopes that doesnt happen again.

Price is not the only factor for me: deGoogled is priority number one, and repairability is not far behind.

With that in mind, I’d pay a lot of money for a rather average phone because that’s exactly what I got: yesterday’s phone at today’s price. But I got what I wanted and I’m happy with it. So the price was right.

The last 3 phones I have had were/are budget phones. So less than $500, if not lower. Don’t remember what my last couple were, but my current is a roughly $200USD Samsung.

I change phone every 5 years or so. Always pay around €600. Next time I probably will be going with someone like the CMF Phone 1 or similar, it seems to have all I need for €200. Really a quality screen is all I need because everything else is very similar for regular use no matter if is high end of low end.

$1,000,000

Sub-800.

Whenever a refurbished Pixel phone is about $3-400and I’m 2+ generations behind and want something new. I rock no case too, bare naked phones, so if I drop it and it’s screen cracks, I’m not out much $. Been my plan since the Nexus line.

I would never spend over A$1000 (~US$675) on a phone unless Fairphone started selling here in Australia. I would pay more for their phones for ethical reasons and because their support period is so long. I always buy second-hand these days so that tends to lower the price significantly.

Anywhere from $300-$400. Can be extended to $450 should the phone be that good. Unfortunately, current phones are not that exciting or offer high enough built-in storage with/without sdcard support. So, I plan to keep using my phone until something really good comes along. Till then, I can wait a few years.

My current phone (realme narzo 60 pro) cost $340 and has 12GB of ram and 1TB of UFS 3.1 storage. No other phone offers that in sub $400 or even $500 price range. The company that created this phone did not do this again. The realme GT 6T and GT 6 both max out at 512gb storage variants. Meaning, an upgrade would be a downgrade in storage.
