    I bought my Samsung for $240 CAD, brand new, not refurbished.

    I can’t tell the difference from an expensive phone. Less camera lens? I don’t understand why other phones are $1000 to $2000. Processor speed? On a phone? I’m not running games on this thing except online chess. It plays YouTube without ads. It makes calls and sends texts.

    I just don’t get it.

      Past $800, you’re not getting a better processor. The base iPhone and Galaxy offer the same chip as the Pro Max and Ultra, respectively, in most generations.

      You’re only getting more cameras or screen. The $2000 ones fold.
