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

€699.00 for my last phone: Fairphone 5
Normally it would not pay more than €250-350 for a glued (hard to repair) phone
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.
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.
GSI
about 350
maybe less in the future, cause most phones are good enough already.
'Bout tree fiddy
I’ll be sticking with my note 9 for a good while longer though
I don’t think I have ever paid more than $300 for one.
I bought a pixel 3a discounted to $300 when it was maybe a year old. Then when the 6a came out, I was able to trade in the 3a for a $300 credit, so ended up getting the 6a for maybe $150. Before that, I had a Nexus 5 which I also bought at $300 and held onto for years.
The last three ones I bought were less than 300 €
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 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.
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 don’t mind paying ~1300€ for a new phone, if that phone meets my need. I know it’s a little bit too much according to how much would other people spend, but if I can get more stuff done with that phone, I think it’s money well spent.
Used to be max 200€, then 300€ and my last phone was 220€. But prices keep rising and next will probably be 500. I never do trade-ins though and keep using the old phones afterwards.
$1/day after discounts and rebates. Right now that is in the Pixel / Nord range.
I had a similar approach until recently: 100€/year +100€, mostly 300-400€ phones for about 4-5 years (so not that many). But my last phone was 500€ and i doubt I’ll use it for 6 years, so let’s see
Between $200 and $300. Moto G Stylus 5g may be my next one.
