Comment on Why can't we go back to small phones?

  You’re willing to pay that much for a phone? I think my last one was $350.

  OK, now someone else go lower.

    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 get that too. It helps to put it in perspective:

  • 870€ is about 45% of the official original price
  • the phone was used for 2 months and in a very good condition (saw it firsthand)
  • valid warranty etc

    To put that into another perspective: it is around twice my country’s monthly median salary. This is still very wild.
