In the current spectrum, how much should one spend to get the best value? I know everyone has a different taste and budget. But analysing the current trend of smartphone culture could give a bit of insight into spending wisely.

    Under $300 IMO, that gets you a used flagship model from 1-2 years ago that isn’t too much different from the current models.

      The issue is that currently the 1-2 years used flagships have a lot of issues

      • Samsung S21 and S22 have bad batteries, not even talking about Exynos if OP is based in the EU
      • Pixel 6 and 7 have bad connectivity and also some battery issues
      • OnePlus aren’t what they used to be

      That reduces quite a lot what should be the main source of used flagships

        Every generation has issues to be fair, I have an S21 and it’s been great.

        P7 only has connectivity issues in third world countries like the US. It’s not a problem in Europe
