Until smartphone makers stop their anti consumer practices and prices go down i will be buying ALL my phones used from now on.
AGREED. that was the beginning of the end.
The LG V20 was THE best smartphone of all time and that's a shame considering it's almost a decade old.

Smart move.
I have a backup Samsung for the same purpose.
These days it's essential to have a backup 📱 because you never know what may happen
Unfortunately updates are only available via manufacturer unless you get a custom ROM.
Which they are making it harder to do.
The only reason I upgraded my phone 📱was for updates and I bought it used.
🖕 These Phone Companie$ milking us for overpriced products with less features
@fal1026
Yup! That's by design.
If they cared all they would let you roll back to the last stable version.
If phone companies had their way you wouldn't even be able to repair your phone or buy it used.
You would just rent a new phone yearly for a monthly fee.
@basedbagel @fal1026 I last time bought phone it was xiaomi mi5
I now have xiaomi redmi 9 thx to brother who bought his phone and thx to his Tmobile he got xiaomi redmi 9 with it.
So he only wanted from me to buy him protective glass on his phone.
I do not see reason to spend much on phone.
When I only use it for calling or messaging basic stuff and use it for watching videos, listening to music and visiting websites.
So these can be easilly done with cheapest cellphones on the market.
@basedbagel @fal1026 So I do not see the reason why I should invest too much in to phone.
So why not get it cheaper.
When it is better to replace it than to repair.
status symbols are retarded
Often they are created by wannabe rich people. Who will waste their paycheck for things that are expensive to look like rich
Only now I saw something good from apple and it was apple vision pro
So I will wait to see something similar made by android companies
Because until apple will be more than for normie/NPC lvl users and next thing even in store you need to pay for everything and is more expensive because apple take money from creators
