about 350

maybe less in the future, cause most phones are good enough already.

The last three ones I bought were less than 300 €

About $300. Lately I have purchased a lightly used Pixel off eBay (when the new generation drops) and have had great success.

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.

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.

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 buy strictly second hand and spend around 70€, never more than 100€. Life is good a few generations behind, the phones I get are still absolutely adequate to daily drive. I use LineageOS with mostly open source apps, no games, no google. I have a Pixel 4a at the moment, the camera is more than enough to keep some memories. My phone is rather a sturdy tool than a toy and status symbol, I really like it like that!

As little as I can pay for a second hand phone that's supported by a custom Rom, with a new battery. Usually around the 200€ mark.

$1,000,000

I like smaller phones that do not compromise too much on the usability. I got my S23 256GB for 700CAD taxes in in may last year, and I think this is a fair price. So I'll go with 600-800 taxes in!

300 cad pre tax

Price is not the only factor for me: deGoogled is priority number one, and repairability is not far behind.

With that in mind, I'd pay a lot of money for a rather average phone because that's exactly what I got: yesterday's phone at today's price. But I got what I wanted and I'm happy with it. So the price was right.

Historically max $100. Recently had to go to $180 for a Pixel.

I refuse to pay more than $200

Usually stick to 200-250€, maybe 300€ if it's a really nice deal. (Price for new, unlocked and without subsidizing.)

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 buy mine used for around $200.

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.

I try to adjust my budget for things based on how much time i spend using them. My glasses, bed, phones, and shoes have very little (relative to my budget) expenses spared. My most recent purchase was a pixel 8, back when it was relatively new around at around 700$. I plan on putting grapheneos on it at some point and keeping it for as long as i can reasonably get away with.

Before that, it was the samsung s20fe 5g, also at around seven or eight hundred. I used it without a case for two years and the screen broke too early for me to be entirely happy with it. Im treating my pixel a lot better in hopes that doesnt happen again.

About $200 for a used flagship from a couple years ago. I currently have a oneplus 9 I bought used last year and it's completely fine, there's nothing important I'm missing from any higher end phone

I would never spend over A$1000 (~US$675) on a phone unless Fairphone started selling here in Australia. I would pay more for their phones for ethical reasons and because their support period is so long. I always buy second-hand these days so that tends to lower the price significantly.

Sub-800.

$3-400. Upper range if I can't get anything for a trade-in, which is rare. I generally only get Pixel a-series but would definitely look at motorola again. It's what I had before a-series existed.

€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 pay whatever is needed to get the features I need, within reason. My current phone was ~$500 CAD (XPeria 10 V). It was the only narrow phone with good battery life at a reasonable price with 8 GB RAM at the time.

My current phone (late 2022) cost me 700€, I will never spend that much again. It was supposed to replace my main camera for photography while hiking (weight being a huge factor), and it has. I'm hoping it will last as long as possible (10 years would be great), but after that, I'll probably just get a 100€ brick out of privacy concerns

My last 5 phones have been out of contract, and less than $400 with trade in and/or discounts. I always stick with the pixel lineup. Frankly I don't think I'll be spending that much on this next upgrade though. the latest and greatest just doesn't make that big of a difference in my daily usage nowadays, and paying a premium for the high end stuff doesn't really get you much more than the mid range stuff.

Current phone was 240 euro. One before that was 460 but I got 5 years out of it. The only real difference I notice is in the screen.

$1/day after discounts and rebates. Right now that is in the Pixel / Nord range.

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.

Between $200 and $300. Moto G Stylus 5g may be my next one.

The last 3 phones I have had were/are budget phones. So less than $500, if not lower. Don't remember what my last couple were, but my current is a roughly $200USD Samsung.

Whenever a refurbished Pixel phone is about $3-400and I'm 2+ generations behind and want something new. I rock no case too, bare naked phones, so if I drop it and it's screen cracks, I'm not out much $. Been my plan since the Nexus line.

I got a Galaxy S24+ Exynos for 750 USD this year with Galaxy Buds 2 Pro bundled in. It was one heck of a deal. I've been living it. Should last me long time.

I bought a Google pixel 4a a while back for 550 Australian dollars after shopping around and price matching. Helped my partner get a Motorola G54 for $250 after price matching and it seems to have all the features that I had on my old phone that I'm pretty happy with. If I have to replace my Pixel someday I'm kinda on the fence whether I should get a Fairphone or to just go for a Motorola like hers.

"No money down." I pay that shit off over time along with the monthly bill. I hate you still have to pay the taxes up front tho. That's stupid.
