>$1,500Why are Phones expensive?
Attempt at maximizing profit at all costs.
>>542198888Only if you're an idiot. I got a phone that is better than the last Samsung Galaxy for about 150. Don't remember what it's called but it has 16 fucking RAM. 16...for a cell phone. Damn battery lasts almost 12 hours too.
>>542198888buy Unihertzthank me laternice numerals, btw

>>542199071>stacey gets the ick when she sees you don’t have the latest iPhone
You don't have to get the top of the line latest model
>>542199201I might just give in...
>>542199233Yeah that's Google's iphoneYou can still get decent smart phones with comparable specs from other manufacturers for a few hundred bucks
>>542199201I consider that a bonus
Google is doing some slimy shit with aosp lately and their pixel phones aren't as cool as they used to be
>>542198888Just get the last model for like $500
>>542198888its not even a status symbol women will avoid you if she finds out you have android. puzzling
>>542198888if you want something that just makes calls and sends texts, there are plenty of cheap optionsyou don't need the whole surveillance stack in your pocket
>>542198888is that in monopoly money? same phone is 800 here with twice the storage
>>542198888Because the world has closed itself off from trading with one another, the rich have hoarded tech hardware, the producers of said hardware are artificially colluding to keep it high for consumers, and oil needed to ship it is hindered.
>>542199349Imagine being such a cuck to search for female approval based on a fucking GoyPhone lmao
>>542198888Because consumers pay up.
>>542198888Wouldnt be surprised if apple, google, samsung etc are doubling their money on these phones
>>542199489It's Canadian rubles
>>542199534Maybe in a gay bar you will be shunned for not having an Iphone. The Chicks will get ick if you dont have the Iphone is internet shilling at its best.
>>542198888>$1300 plus Tipnew foldable crapple is gonna be double that.
>>542198888New C4 in the battery costs and additional $600.
bidenomics doubled or tripled the price of literally everything
>Politics?
>>542198888I just got one for 320$ from my ISP, unlocked and no contract.Canadian too. Got Graphene going on it but desu, it's kind of a pain in the ass. Thinking of going back to Android but need a way to remove most of the Google garbage and bloat.
You can go buy a shitty phone if you want or you can not be a poorfag who thinks 1200 USD is expensive for a device intended to last 3 or so years with nigh unlimited functionality.
>reddit. account deleted.>shill botted account>corpos engaging in psychology warfare.
>>542198888bro just buy a motorola phone they're like $150
>>542199105a friend of mine had a unihertz jelly and it broke very fast due to some humidity entering the case
>>542199822Yes.
>>542198888Because we're American. The same phone is around $600 in Kenya. Same thing goes with everything else made in America (phones, prescription drugs, etc). We pay double or triple what other 3rd world countries are paying because we subsidize our own creations to the rest of the world because reasons.
>>542198888Get a version that is a couple years old and refurbished on Amazon. it's under $200.
>>542198888Because you buy them, goyim.Next question.
>>542199714its just how things are now
>>542198888Checked but I just buy "A" series phones now. They're fine. What do you do that you MUST have the latest greatest flagship phone?
>>542199201I could not care less what some random whore thinks of me.If anything, I think they're an idiot for dropping two grand on a fucking phone.
>>542198888Depending on the specs, it isn't a bad idea if you have a TV/monitor to cast to/plugin. It's a portable PC/phone/gps/flashlight/music player/etc etc etc.
>>542198888I got a pixel 4 with unlimited updates via custom roms, buying a new one is for faggots
>>542198888because goy cattle pay that much.
>>542200055I use my phone for every aspect of life, I'm with my phone more than I am in my car or my house. Spending 1.5k a year is really a nothingburger to have the nicest experience you can for something so prolofic to your day to day.
>>542200194Scrolling tick tock works just fine on a midrange phone.
>>542200194>I use my phone for every aspect of life,SAD
>>542199071Where’d you get it
Slide thread !
>>542200400I was supposed to post on g.my bad
>>542200330It's literally modern life.Banking? Phone don't even need to go into the bank to cash or make checks.Bills? Pay everything through an insurance, mortgage, internet, etc.Entertainment all managed on my phone.My phone is even my car key and home key as well as garage door opener.
I got a Motorola Edge 60 Neo for £199 a few months back, it came out at the back end of last year so years of update support ahead, 12GB RAM, long battery life, good display, on the smaller side (I consider that a plus), can play your typical mobile shit games just fineThat's me for at least the next 5 years, it's done
>>542200505Love having my phone as a back up house key. Poorfags wouldn’t understand.
>Why are Phones expensive?It's a part of the de-industrialisation of the West, that began with (((globalism))), with the goal being the controlled demolition of gentile civilisation -- a. k. a., "PNAC" (Protocols of Noahide Administered by Canaanites).>NPC thinks* it's expensive now>*presence of a functional brain presupposed
>>542200505Wait do you think that is only possible with $1500 phones? Like "A" series phoned don't have NFC? Is that the marketing they are using on you guys?
>>542200849No my point is I am totally fine with spending money on the thing that's in my pocket and next to my bed 24/7. Same reason I buy nice knives and wallets.
>>542200357Amazon. Works with Mint, so I pay next to nothing for my phone.
>>542198888You're retarded? That thing is 1349 AUD on Google store and generally sold cheaper everywhere else.You're a fucking moron basically.
>>542201328>You're retarded?shut up, fed. Not making a Google account. Niggerfaggot fed from aussieland.
>>542198888Just buy it goyim and shut the fuck up.
>>542198888because the goyim buy it no matter what every single time
>>542200505>Entertainment all managed on my phone.lol this nigga watches movies on his phone
>>542200898Thankfully no guns
>>542198888I just got a used Pixel 8 pro for graphene that is easy to repair for only 400. I have to question why downgrade? Will I be arrested for having privacy in 2026?
>>542198888I just want a flip phone with the ability to do MFA tokens, text, and call.
>>542200505>My phone is even my car key and home key as well as garage door opener.
>>542198888shut up and pay for your AI slop underpowered phone with absolutely shit battery goy
>>542198888>Canada>13% taxesJFC
>>5422016423 years of updates, and your phone won't be updated any more. Google decided to disable MTE, so Graphene OS won't support any new Pixels either, unless they decide to put up with dog shit performance. But at least you did attempt to escape clown world, so thats something
>>542198888No way this is real, I purchased a pixel 9a last year for $400.
Always buy used in good condition. I refuse to pay their high goy tax even though I can afford it. A two generations old iPhone pro is just as good as the new one.
>>542198888Why not just get the Pixel 10a? I got one with 256GB storage for $500.
>>542199201This is true. When I started seeing this new girl, she was likeew I have to see your ugly green texts
>>542201944I currently have the 8a, right now.
>>542199342I'm still using the 7 and there's nothing wrong with it
>>542201990post her face. oh wait, you won't.
>>542198888at least you got free shipping
>>542199349>Status symbolPoorcel detected
>>542202001Google supports phones for like 7 years. If you don't need a new phone, don't get one. Just put aside like $50 a month and buy a new phone in a couple years.
>>542199342I have the 8Pro with the larger memory. It's in fantastic shape. The camera is incredible. It's so much better than my iPhone. I got it used for like $300 about 4 months ago.
>>542199984that's in leaf kopecks
>>542200194There are plenty of phones you can get for a third or less of the price that have no differences in performance whatsoever
>>542199071What's it called?
>>542201069so what is it? a Redmi?
>>542199984Nigerian guy told me he is buying a phone here in ireland and I asked why if phones in Nigeria are a fraction of the price.He didnt really say but it sounded like the same phone in Nigeria is inferior. Perhaps they are selling fakes, the manufacturers dump lots with bad reliability into the third world, no one will honor the warranty etc etc.
>>542198888my androids cost 40$ with the insurance deductible and work great. literally the same fucking thing
>>542199201I had a girl actually try to do this a year ago, when I told her she was retarded she tried to play it off like she was just kidding, yes I still fucked her. Moral of the story, women don't actually have opinions, just passing thoughts and feelings that only matter if you let them
Honestly: Why do you even need a 1500$ phone instead of a 200$ one? Like, what features does the 1500$ phone have that you feel so necessary that you're willing to pay an extra 1000+ $ for it?
>>542202548he doesnt remember what it's called
>>542204556yep, you just have to convince them (not hard, they are herd consensus creatures)
Have a Xiaomi 15 ehich I upgraded from rhe Oneplus 3.All is good
>>542198888>estimated taxes 167are you sure the phone is the problem?why are they taking so much of my moneys when i buy a new phone?
its over 10% of the whole for doing fuckall. next time you give me a money machine also you useless fucks.
you pay taxes regardless. the more taxes you pay you wont get a discount on your consoomer taxes. this entire system is all bullshit from literally 1300. we need something new and better.they will give us some shitcoins with a chip in our head.
schmelons head chips. whats up with that its so silent around it. maybe because it WAS BULLSHIT.
all will be set to 0 but they still keep all the land and their castles, to make it fair.
i wouldnt build a castle even with 10 gorillion thats a given. this is for megalomaniacal retards. i wouldnt think up living in such a big house because i have to clean it but mister trust fund has his butler.
you have whole new ideas when youre not occupied with nonsense like keeping a house clean, you can just think up stuff that ruins our planet and we all die.
this is what happens with trust fund babies and now we all die.
>>542201069So no banking app?
>>542198888My track phone only cost me $23 at the dollar store, monthly limited data/ unlimited prepaid only costs me $10/ month. It does everything I need it to. Why are you buying nigger overpriced phones, op?
imagine not using an iphone in 2026>high build quality, lasts years>OS developed cleanly for specific hardware build>walled garden, no exploits or viruses>no jewgle>no spyware>no data harvesting (unless you're retarded enough to opt in)android phones are the choice of jeets and poors
>>542206485Banking app?What do you mean?
>>542198888the fuck, I got my pixel pro 7 at less than half that, the fuck has happened
>/pol/cels will spend $3000 on a gaming pc they use for 6 hours a day but judge normies for spending $1500 on a phone they use for 12 hours a day
>>542198888Because you keep buying them.If you just said no, I'm good thanks.They'd be half the price in like 2 years
>>542208285the gaming PC you ownthose phones are one update away from being unusable
>>542199349That’s the point, guy. You pay for the privilege of not dealing with them.
>>542199984Almost like it’s by design, intended to manufacture reliance.
>>542207653>>542206485>>542201069>>542200357>>542199071lmao you dont even post the name of your name. your story is bullshit, redneck
>>542198888Because retards love consuming new thing.
Good morning sirBecause phone made in China instead of IndiaIn india better quality but also less costGood Morning sirs
>>542198888Just buy a burner phone. The high end shit from 4 years ago is cheap.
>>542208232AI data centers sucking up all da chips ayy.
>>542209893Are you a pajeet?
>>542201553You can hook up ur phone to a monitor and many android phones have a different desktop environment for that purpose gramps.
>>542202031>I'm still using the 7Same here. Best phone I've ever had. Bought directly after launch.I am considering buying a new one, but with Google's recent "oddities", I'm a little hesitant.
>>542198888Trumps trade war and war in Iran. About 1/3rd of all helium comes from the strait of Hormuz and the only ships getting through are for oil. To make every single chip to put in those phones you need helium. Basically Trump just fucked everything up. We will never see cheap electronics again in our lifetime.
>>542198888I bought a gaming PC for 1500 a month ago. Before the crisis it was half the price but whatever. What do you even do with a very pricy modern smartphone? I have a redmi chinks hit for 120 and it works perfectly.
>>542198888Part of the cost is to pay hush money for the bombs they place in them
I have an iPhone Air and I can play Hitman WoA on it. It is extremely light yet I can literally throw it against the sidewalk without a scratch despite using no screen protector. There are many other features in this vein. If you don’t care about them then just get a cheap phone for >$100
Its called a flagship phone with flagship features.
>>542198888If you want your phone to not be infused with Pajeet poop, you have to pay a premium for it to be manufactured elsewhere
>>542212427goy cattle
>>542199071Yah how many watts input is the charger?How fast is the cou? I bet you got a chink utility phone. I bet it takes forever to charge and uses rk chipsets.
>>542212553You're in the same category If you're not a sitting memeber of the WEF.
>>542199105Just saw their 1 grand jobber.120watts inputFast ram and storage, built in 720p projector. Amoled screen 120hz. Cant wait for my dad to drop from the clot shot. My inheritance will buy me a unihertz someday.
This is the price normies created because they all want garbage thin-shit with no features.Fuck normies so fucking much.Give me a phone as thick as my fucking finger, not these flimsy little pieces of shit that can crack if you look at it the wrong way.
>>542198888Imagine paying full price, I bought my iPhone 17 Pro for 800€ by scamming one of the fucking IPSs here:>Apply for a job at the company>Get hired >Buy phone with a massive employee discount>Quit the next day>???>ProfitStill not patched, lmao
>>542212790>unihertzYou cannot afford flagships, we get it. Or understand I guess that you can build a wider and taller phone which slims it down.
>>542202171bought a refurb unlocked 8pro on amazon end of 2024 for $500, arrived without a blemish, installed grapheneOS, I have had no issues with it
>>542198888why do you need a top of the line phone?are you a nigger?or worse, a woman?
>>542200055I got the cheapest, most Chinese phone ever. I am quite happy with it. Spending money on these fucking things knowing you'll change them every two years is retarded.Plus, less of a chance there's a jew in it. The Jew fears the Han dynasty.
>>542212790>Give me a phone as thick as my fucking fingerthere are brands that make phones for builders and other blue collar workersjust google rugged phone
>>542198888?
>>542198888>Why are Phones expensive?Because retards will shell out $1500 for a calculator that can make calls
>>542213227>Thinking a phone can just do those things Take a laugh at the dinosaur right here.
>>542198888It’s not even a 11...
>>542213110>change them every two yearsonly if you feel you have to impress someone (you don't) it's a mental problem, not a technological one
>>542199105Nah, complete BS. Go for the best value options on Kimovil. All those meme brands like Unihertz, Doogee, Oukitel, Ulefone, etc. are unreliable. POCO phones have been king for the past few years in this regard.
>>542213364Google "planned obsolescence". They all go to shit. Plus, I just said I have the cheapest Chinese phone ever. Nobody is impressed by a £100 phone.
>>542213547Just get a Xiaomi.
>>542198888theyre cheaper now than when ATT was subsidizing them under two contracts
>>542199105What in the Mumbai is unihertz
>>542213568>They all go to shit.I'm using a 2017 phone a Sony Xperia X Compactdon't see no planned obsolescence only the McDonald's app told me to upgrade to a newer Android so I stopped going to McDonald's
>>542198888$1500 for 128 gigs is insane.My 2019 offbrand has 128 gigs.
>>542213601No thanks chang
>>542213601>>542213547I have a Nord 1+ something or rather, it is alright. No idea if you have heard of it, but worth looking at if you are in the market.
>>542200194>proloficYou spent all that time and money on your phone and you turned into an Indian retard.
>>542213683That may be fair, the Japanese are autistic about quality.
>>542206414lol
>>542213067true
phone thread!!!!!so iphone 18 is about to be released do we buy??????
>>542213178amazon is dogshit.
just get an old phone. You can get a phone that's 1-2+ years old for half that price and there's hardly any actual differences if you're like me and don't do much on it except text and make calls and occasionally web browse if I'm not at home. As long as the camera is decent it doesn't matter much.
>>542213935The price will be high.
>>542213601POCO is a subbrand of xiaomi.>>542213742Hello rareflag
>>542213935>so iphone 18HOLY WAAAARS
The are a little box of endless entertainment that people are massively addicted to.
>>542214164I know that, thats why you should just get the xiaomi because poco phones were always shittier.
>>542212604I think it takes about two hours from dead to full I also think it works fine, has the same specs as 2k phone and You're just seething because you're a gullible nigger.
>>542199342Yeah I just got a 10a for 500 dollarydoos. With how long it ought to last it works out to about 100/year
>>542214380Any one try out the HONOR phones?
>>542198888They are miniaturised portable computers, plus fools keep paying that much.
>>542214131i need an upgrade and im not liking the privacy display on the samsung ultra but maybe the regular s26 will do if the 18 is too pricy
>>542198888
>>542199821Trump printed 3 trillion dollars in 2020 retard
>>542214480You can turn that on or off I thought? On the new galaxy its a setting.
>>542200194Bro says this but then still doesn't have a Toto bidet, and walks around with shit smeared on his ass.
>>542199878>need a way to remove most of the Google garbageRoot it and install adaway from f-droid, that'll block a lot of the bullshit
>>542198888>trade-in>stacked promos >save $1300This is why you are poor.
>invent a tracking device that can scan it's surroundings anytime with wifi and make the goyim addicted to it with propaganda laced with dopamine that's especially effective against women that's meant to destroy society>and make the goyim pay for the privilege gotta give it to the jews on this oneit's pure evil genius
>>542199879>1200 USD is expensive for a device intended to last 3 or so yearsThose phones will last 6-7 years easy if you take care of them. Buy junk and it lasts 2 years.
>>542198888My Pixel 10 Pro was $1000 I think. Not worth it. Google AI hardly even works and keeps giving me errors. Not that I got it for the AI, I just really needed to switch providers and it was one of the phones offered at a reduced price.
>>542214752My last phone lasted around 4 years and only traded it in because I'm guessing the cellular antenna got fucked and I was unable to make calls or use mobile data.
>>542198888mine was a little over $200 and its a samsung, no issues after over 2 years
>>542198888Google has lost most of its creative drive personnel and is deep into the profitmaxxing era of the lifecycle, plus a fat retard has intentionally fucked up international trade so everyone in the American continents has to pay way more to get the same things they were getting for cheap a few years ago (even if you're not in the US...knock-on effects of screwing with the egress portion of economies of scale).
