Phones prices have gotten insane

I still have it. It gets hot if I try to boot it, so I keep it as a historical object.

Here's a crazy thing: Pixels have actually reached price parity with iPhones.

I never realized, that's crazy...

Lol, where I live the FE is more expensive than the regular S24

[–] Twinklebreeze@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago

But on the other hand it is a Samsung.

[–] Ilandar@aussie.zone 5 points 1 month ago

The FE series doesn't make much sense to me at that price. The A55 is already a really good phone and it's much cheaper with some extra features like an SD card slot. How many people are there in the world who cannot afford an S24+ but for whom the A55 is not good enough? I feel like the FE series cons people into thinking they're getting value for money (because it has an S in the name) when they're actually overpaying for a phone that isn't much better in day to day use than the top A series model at half the price.

Too Bad It's still a Samsung.

No root, no cake. In the US, that is

[–] Jode@midwest.social 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

And here I am on my S20FE that runs just fine.

[–] Podunk@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Refurbished s21fe here. Im not buying flagships anymore. I will never make full use of the capabilities of this phone.

Now, when it hits sub $300. Maybe im interested then.
