who the hell spends over $1000 on a phone?

Broke my mobile phone today and despite being happy over that, I have been getting nagged at all day from numerous people including my bosses about having to have a mobile phone so I can be contacted.
what a world we live in now 🙄

Anyway, just looked up phones thinking $100 is way more than i would ever need to get a phone and shocked to see phone cases are more than $100 now.
Phones are going for over a thousand dollars. that is absurd to me.
crazy people actually spend that amount of money on such things.

We should go back to the days of sending ravens or pigeons or whatever to each other instead haha. That is the world I want to live in

Check for Xiaomi.
They're good quality phones that rival Apple and Samsung and cost a fraction of the price.
I dunno where you live, not all carriers support them, but it's fully supported in most of Europe and in the US by Mint Mobile.

@assemblingaknob I'm on a Redmi Note 9s with the EU ROM and it's been my favourite phone I've ever had.

@basilfawlty89 Nice!! My sister has the same phone.
I have an Oppo, got it on promo price, 5 years ago, and ive dropped it like 10 thousand times but the screen has never cracked. Still looks fresh. Battery time has decreased over the years but still only have to charge it once every 24 hours.
