Curious to see how much the majority of people here spend, especially with flagships prices getting out of hand in the last few years.

    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.

    I wait for a good discount (because they always come eventually) and buy the flagship. I’m too embarassed to give the figure based on the other answers here, though. I’ve just always had bad experiences with the lower end that when looking over a long period, I’ve barely saved, since I’d had to upgrade it more often. I guess I haven’t given the lower end a chance for about 12 years, so things might have changed.

    I buy strictly second hand and spend around 70€, never more than 100€. Life is good a few generations behind, the phones I get are still absolutely adequate to daily drive. I use LineageOS with mostly open source apps, no games, no google. I have a Pixel 4a at the moment, the camera is more than enough to keep some memories. My phone is rather a sturdy tool than a toy and status symbol, I really like it like that!
