Curious to see how much the majority of people here spend, especially with flagships prices getting out of hand in the last few years.

I bought a Google pixel 4a a while back for 550 Australian dollars after shopping around and price matching. Helped my partner get a Motorola G54 for $250 after price matching and it seems to have all the features that I had on my old phone that I’m pretty happy with. If I have to replace my Pixel someday I’m kinda on the fence whether I should get a Fairphone or to just go for a Motorola like hers.
The last three ones I bought were less than 300 €
About $300. Lately I have purchased a lightly used Pixel off eBay (when the new generation drops) and have had great success.
I bought my current phone for equivalent of 150 USD this year. I flashed lineage os immediately and without bloatware it is running pretty smooth. I am pretty happy with it.
Interesting, which phone is it?
It is Infinix Hot 30 (Asia only) Link More precisely I bought it for 110 USD :P
I can’t find ROMs for any Infinix phone on the Lineage OS website.

I’ve been on the pixel A train the past few years, and wait until they offer me >$300 for a trade in. I got a 3A for I think ~$300 or so in 2020, and a 6A for $150 in 2022. Almost jumped to an 8a which would have been like $200 I think but there’s no reason to really besides shiny new toy so I’m holding out for another year or two in hopes a 4a-style size reduction comes again
I buy mine used for around $200.
I’ve had good luck with that in the past. I search ebay for the phone with the word “mint” and buy phones that are indistinguishable from new other than price.
300 cad pre tax
Usually stick to 200-250€, maybe 300€ if it’s a really nice deal. (Price for new, unlocked and without subsidizing.)
Same here, gets you an adequate phone which will last me at least 3 to 4 years. (I usually have to buy new because I broke the old one through my own fault)
I normally get a Pixel on contract or I’ll buy it outright if it’s on offer. The Pixel does tend to go on offer way more than an iPhone.
I like smaller phones that do not compromise too much on the usability. I got my S23 256GB for 700CAD taxes in in may last year, and I think this is a fair price. So I’ll go with 600-800 taxes in!
I wait for a good discount (because they always come eventually) and buy the flagship. I’m too embarassed to give the figure based on the other answers here, though. I’ve just always had bad experiences with the lower end that when looking over a long period, I’ve barely saved, since I’d had to upgrade it more often. I guess I haven’t given the lower end a chance for about 12 years, so things might have changed.
Same, paying more for something that will last longer and be a better experience during that time is worth it.
$3-400. Upper range if I can’t get anything for a trade-in, which is rare. I generally only get Pixel a-series but would definitely look at motorola again. It’s what I had before a-series existed.
$300aud for my pixel 5 after my $100pixel1 battery was only lasting a few hours.
My current phone (late 2022) cost me 700€, I will never spend that much again. It was supposed to replace my main camera for photography while hiking (weight being a huge factor), and it has. I’m hoping it will last as long as possible (10 years would be great), but after that, I’ll probably just get a 100€ brick out of privacy concerns
$800 for an unlocked s23, technically way more than I wanted to pay. Ideally I like to stick around $400-600.
