Buying used has always been the way to go for phones IMHO. They churn out so many new versions every year that 3-4 year old higher end phones are still better than new mid range phones and MUCH cheaper.
Or do what I did and buy new and just use the same flip phone for 17 years straight. They only got me off that thing because they literally disabled the 3G network, it was still perfectly functional other than that.
Wait until smartphone prices skyrocket. Shit's gonna be fun.
I've read a couple of days ago that they're already reducing the RAM of future smartphones, like 4GB for entry level phones.
Buy used or buy new older versions. I'm betting the used laptop market will go through the roof, and older phones will go up in value.

You can usually get 2+ year old flagship phones (brand new) for 1/3rd to 1/4th the price.
