What a ripoff. Samsung's getting too big for their pants.

I have a stack of S3's that I cycle through. Good enough for up to ps1 emulation, suits my needs.

HOLY FUCK A NEW HAT????

Housing is too expensive and top of the line smartphones are too cheap, not buying the latest model smartphone will not get you significantly closer to buying a home. Considering how expensive housing and rent is you might as well spend whatever meager shekels you have on a smartphone.

>all of them will buy the next model of smartphone every year for an ever-increasing premium.

No they wont lol.

Most of the people I know have £200 smartphones from 5 years ago.

I always get hounded when a new phone comes out and I don't buy it.

Apparently I'm hurting capitalism and big spending, so I've been told

But i want to watch pornhub on the go

Nice Simpsons reference!

Kinda pissed about the non removable battery, atleast not easily removed. I need to upgrade this note 4 though and have become quite attached the pen

>>138797674
My mommy bought one and she owns big home. Fuck you nazi boy I fucking snap your mom's neck

>>138796322
I'm still using Note 4 and have 0 reason to upgrade

>>138796322
Iphone is better than Samsung

>>138800009
no

Top-tier new phones are luxury items, but they also get away with because phone service companies are willing to either cover or at least supplement the cost in exchange for people signing contracts. It's like high medical costs built around the idea of "well, insurance companies will cover it, fuck it."

>>138800009
Lol south korea more like south POOPEA

>>138797674
Consumerism. I still have an s6 that's battery only stays charged for 30 mins of usage. I mostly keep it for emergencies and phoneposting on /pol/. I'll never get why people upgrade phones, most the phones are powerful enough already. You don't need to spend a bunch of money to post pictures on instagram

Meanwhile Apple phones maintain quality and are actually reasonable in price

Stay cucked

>>138800105
why?

>>138796322
Our parents could buy a house and something equally pricey no problem.

Fuck off. There's many other factors at work here than our spending habits.

>>138800523
Because it can do everything an Iphone can do but I can go and tamper with it easier. I switched from an Iphone 5s to a Galaxy S7 active and I do not regret it, at least I can view fucking webms and gifs now in my gallery. I feel like apple limits me and treats me like a child, but most people prefer practicality I suppose, but it is not that Samsung does not have that too though lol.

>>138800271

I have replaced battery on iphone4 and iphone5 for my family. Its cheap and fairly easy to do. They sell the batt and tools on ebay for under $20. Search for an S6 and get a usable phone.

Most people spend more time on their phone than anything else in there life. This is among the dumbest examples of "poor spending habits" possible.

Lets go back to 1980 and show them what a modern smartphone can do and sell just one to the highest bidder. It would literally sell for MILLIONS of dollars. You are putting yourself at a severe disadvantage in life without owning, and knowing how to use a smartphone

>>138801151
Except that every new smart phone is not significantly different from the previous models.

And here i am with my beat up s5....i'll upgrade to my moms s6 when she buys a new one for her at the end of the year

Yeah totally pointless Anon. The issue is we have less purchasing power with stagnating wages on top of having more monthly bills to function in today's society. I'm sick of supporting the god damn jews and boomers

I worked at a phone store for a long time, I know how it works. Lg is actually the best band after the g4, with the g5 and v20 being the cheapest and best.

>>138801964
Also it has a removable battery, and you can get another one really easy. Battery saver can have 1 charge last 3 days

I still use a Samsung Galaxy 5 and it fulfills every need I have.

Agreed buy in all seriousness, I can't wait for the Note 8. They literally made me turn my last Note in and gave me a shitty Galaxy S6 edge or whatever the fuck it is. Note is the Goat. I heard somewhere that the reason they recalled the last Notes wasn't because of the battery but because the NSA couldn't get in to it.

The fuck? I have a Galaxy Note 3 and its only a couple of years old. When did 5 other models come out?

Most people buy a 1000+ phone expecting it to last at least 5 years. They end up replacing a super old phone from 5 years ago. Very few people buy a new phone once a year.

>>138799547
Mommy?
Underage b& !

>>138801475
Very few people trade up to the new model on release. Phones break or get lost, batteries peter out or the technology gets outdated making it practically unusable. If you have a job or leave the house a smartphone is worth the money. I am sorry you can't afford one but having a computer in your pocket is super handy once you leave your parents' basement.

>>138796322
Why do kids fall for these scams? Do they really see "Baulder's gate enhanced edition: with 4 brand new portraits!" and then say FUCK YES. 4 PORTRAITS IS EXACTLY WHAT I ALWAYS NEEDED. TAKE MY MONEY BEFORE I SMOTHER YOU WITH IT.

>Do they really see "Baulder's gate enhanced edition: with 4 brand new portraits!" and then say FUCK YES. 4 PORTRAITS IS EXACTLY WHAT I ALWAYS NEEDED. TAKE MY MONEY BEFORE I SMOTHER YOU WITH IT.

Yes. Yes they do.

The note 4 is GOAT. Replaceable batteries ftw.

Apple usually makes good quality products, no? Calling iPhones reasonably priced is laughable though, as is calling others cucks when apple's marketing strategy is entirely based on white male erasure.

The fuck? Is it made of gold or something?

>>138796322
I still use an old windows 7.8 phone. It's faster to operate than lagdroid. Get shit done. Plus I have a nokia 3210 for a decade now, used for texting and calling.

Saved me a lot of money for my pc.

>>138802282
They skipped 6 and 7 was blowing up.

I just bought my fiancee a Galaxy S8+ because she deserves it. It was $750 plus tax. Im not going to lie its a great and slick phone and Im pretty jealous. I have the money to afford nice shit but I still use a Galaxy s3, I cant blame her for falling for consumerism though. That "infinity screen" is fucking cool. Also 8-cores at 2.4 gHz what the fuck how is that in a phone.

its the biggest one made by one of the major case companies (not going to shill them). Used their stuff in the past and it lasts years and I've dropped my phone down flights of stairs. Better investment than smartphone insurance with a deductible thats several hundred dollars.

>All the useless shit they teach in school and they don't teach kids how money and quality of life works.

im still hustled at sheer amount of time wasted not teaching remotely valuable life lessons at school. It's like they go out of their way to teach useless shit

the vast majority of healthcare workers in our country dont need smartphones to do their job. Pretty sure most plumbers, electricians and construction workers don't either

I bought an lg g4 in feb 2016 and see absolutely no reason to upgrade for at least another year, its smooth as fuck, battery still lasts, not that it matters since i can get a new one if it gets fucked,

how good a goy must you be to spend that much on a slight upgrade really?

The leap between an s3 and s6 was pretty damn huge but the s8 is not all that much more impressive than the s6

>>138802405
Ahh, baby cannot handle a different opinion so he has to claim I am a basement dweller. It has nothing to do with being able to afford it, but rather making economic decisions. If you read the thread you would see that I do indeed have a smart phone. Technology does not get outdated quickly whatsoever with smart phones, very little is different but your screen size. I agree that it is a good investment but if you wait a little longer then the price goes down dramatically. But if you want to waste your money though for some status points then good for you.

>>138802137
Same senpai, then mine shit the bed, and I was due for an upgrade so I got the 6 for free,

Mr. Shlomostein mad the gooks are taking the money the goys are supposed to give to him.

Many people are not paying cash for these flagship devices. They lease the phone through their carrier for an extra $25-$30 each month. You can upgrade at any time but you are always paying for a phone.

>>138798053
when you can pay for a phone interest-free over two years, and phones are becoming primary computing devices then you see prices this high
fuck I wish that I could put together a $1200 gaming desktop and pay only $50 a month for two years

People are ridiculous with their phones. I've had the same phone since 2013 and it still works today. No need to replace it every damn year.

Had a burner once for about 2 weeks, got sick of it, never had a phone since and I run tech-based online companies.

Exactly. Some of the replies here were too stupid i couldn't bring myself to reply.

>my work needs me to spend money on expensive shit I never used to need!
>it'll take a lot of saving for a house deposit, might as well spend what money I have on self-depreciating sheeple gadgets and double the time it will take me to get on the ladder
>it's just a phone, it won't make a difference, (never mind the 5 other throw-away products I've bought this year)

I didn't think it was possible for this level of bluepilling to exist on this board.

>>138804213
It's for convenience not necessity. You don't need toilet paper, I've wiped my ass with leaves in the wood before and so can you.

Finding store hours/phone numbers while out, gas price app so I can get the cheapest gas on the way to my destination though my phone gps. Hungry? "Google find closest taco bell" don't even need to take hands off the wheel
Had an RMA the other day, go to UPS store and pull out my phone, they scan the Barcode from the manufacturer customer service email on my phone and I'm out of the store in 30 seconds, no bumbling around a dialup computer trying to find names and shit in a database or printing labels
