Last year, we asked you how much you thought a flagship phone should cost, and the overwhelming majority of you chose the most budget option—up to $799. Which is perfectly understandable; modern smartphones all do the same thing; there’s little to no real innovation; and yet the prices just seem to creep up.
But it’s not all bad. While there are crazy foldable phones that cost an arm and a leg, there are also pretty affordable models, such as the Galaxy A53, for example, that offer a lot of bang for your buck. There are two sides to this coin: some phones are getting more expensive, but on the other hand, we can get much more capable devices than, say, 10 years ago for less money.
So, today’s poll is a little different; we’re asking you a more personal question that has nothing to do with global smartphone prices or anything else. We’re asking how much you’re willing to spend on a new phone. That’s it. There are no prerequisites—the phone doesn’t need to be a flagship, a certain brand, or whatever. Just what’s your threshold if you were to buy a phone for yourself today.
