If they manage to do that I might spring for it, Samsung is always awesome when it comes to deals when you preorder your phone, I got $1050 towards my phone just by sending my galaxy S21 ultra back to them.

I think buying unlocked phones directly from them is the way to go, hate being tied up to any given phone company.

Same, my A53 is unlocked, but since it is not top tier, they only offer I think it was $50 credit (paid 450 for a preorder) if I wanted to get a S23 upgrade. Midrange gets fucked over on buybacks sadly.

That's too low a credit, might get more selling it on the secondary market, now that you mention that, out of curiosity I checked how much I would get for my phone towards the S23, and it showed only a fraction of what I got for my S21 less than a year ago.

It might be that Samsung is finally dropping those sweet pre order deals, they're hurting real bad in the current financial situation, and their profits are way down from just a few years ago.

Wonder if it'll even be worth it to trade any phones in the very near future, unless you get a contract with a phone company :mad:

value of the Poco F3 5G, when i bought it, 299chf paid 150chf (149chf were resale of the Redmi Note 9 Pro i bought for 249chf before it ) sold the Poco F3 5G for 199chf got the Realme GT2 for 370 minus 199chf.

since i bought the Poco F1, which i got for 250chf and resold for 140chf, i never gone again for a midrange at 400chf+, midrange price with flagship'ish specs is all i need (aside the Note 9 Pro but for 249chf it was adequately priced for a midrange :laugh: )

and it was not cashback, just plain auction on Ricardo.ch (a kind of Ebay but Switzerland mostly ) the shortest listing duration was 5 min ... and the longest was 2 days.

might get more selling it on the secondary market,
yep ... sought after handset are quite easy to sell and since there are a lot of brand loyal to Samsung and Apple, even in second hand they tend to have obscene pricing :laugh:
(well my sale went quite well as i mentioned above ... nonetheless ;) )

I have weighed my options and seeing as I genuinely don't care about phones, I decided to stick with my A53. I still get 4 years of OS updates and 5 years of security updates. Which is fair.

Though I must say, it is Feb 9th, and my last security update was December 6th... Samsung advertised it as monthly if I remember right... also still don't have Android 13... not a huge deal, just a bit annoying. Another reason i wish I just went with Pixel line, clean experience, no samsung account bloat, (I even clicked on Gallery recently and said there was an update in galaxy story for it... so annoying it doesn't do it automatically when it says it does...)

but yeah i don't even use my phone really, so fuck it I will just keep it. bit let down on the monthly security update promise shit though.

Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 Pro 6GB. Not my best phone, because it's too big. But I got it for ~4€ as a company phone, so not complaining. Getting more expensive phones is a no go for me, because when I'm outside (working), it almost falls one time everyday :D

I had a LG G6 before and long long time ago a Xperia ZR.. Loved them, but nowadays they are slow af.

Yes, those are strong ones for sure - but pretty heavy and big. I'm rather sticking to middle-low end range and replace them after 2-3 years when they already slow and broken. I'm pretty surprised anyway how durable regular phones are.

Got OneUI 5.1 on my S22+. Kinda annoying that it doesn't have the image separation thing there's on the S23 series tho.

I wonder how long will Samsung support the S22 series. Hopefully at least till 2026.

I have a OnePlus 9 Pro and have since 2021, I like the phone except for the fact that it overheats, as it was one of the SD888's that was built by Samsung.

iPhone 13 mini. I absolutely love the size, I've pretty big hands and this is the maximum screen size I can use onehanded pretty comfortably. Long OS support is nice too. That's pretty much all I like about it though. I wish there are android options in this size with good specs again when it's time to upgrade, I'm not loving the Apple life but 13 mini was literally the only option in this size.

Samsung Galaxy S23+ 512GB. Solid phone. VERY fast and an improvement over my previous Note20. The 19:5:9 aspect ratio is better than the 20:9 on the Note, nothing will ever beat the glorious 6" 16:9 screen on my Nexus 6 though.

I'm really dissappointed by my Galaxy A53 phone, was promised monthly security updates, but Samsung on shoves them out OTA for unlocked phones like once every 5 months, really annoyed. Would sell this phone if I thought I could get 200-250 out of it. I paid 450. I am probably going to get a Pixel phone or iphone next, I want monthly security updates.
