MalaXmaS 648 Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 Any recommendations? Since cellphone companies no longer lease them, I am going to have to buy a new unlocked one and use any carrier. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lostfool 680 Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 I really like my LG g8. I highly recommend the Samsung S20 Galaxy FE. Fantastic phone and excellent price 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The Mother Fucker 26 Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 I still use a Galaxy S7 Edge, a 2016 built phone. I had mine since 2017. the S8 improved on it making the entire screen an LCD removing the capacitive buttons. It also added USB-C and retired the USB-micro connection. I recommend you look for a Galaxy S9. That's a 2018 phone and should be super cheap unlocked new. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Of course it didn't have a case either, but still. I remember before, phones would fall and get a scratch only. This time, my screen broke. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I learned too, back when I had an S4. They will break if dropped unprotected. I dropped my S7 Edge plenty of times but it's not shown a single crack, because I protect it with a Spigen case.

They are absolutely plain and terrible phones. Screen is too small, and it uses the same restricting OS. I am not switching from Android. Android>* Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Well, Galaxy S20FE looks like my best bet, of course with a case too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ChupacabraIII 134 Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 I dont like the rounded edges on Samsung phones. Means it breaks if it lands on its side. Shitty design. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jehurey 3,238 Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 check the Shop Samsung website. They had a deal, but technically it was for the Tmobile version of the A71 5G. And the price would drop quite low if you traded in a device, even with a cracked screen. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

My current S9 is cracked, but not just a cracked screen. The whole upper part surround the camera is gone. I just have a piece of tape covering the lenses. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
