Pull panty. Show off to the youth

Doh ask me. I buy a used note 20 ultra with dots on the screen for my personal use loll

[Chimera]

What a 500k vehicle does do different from a 30k vehicle?

[death365]

why buy

a benz bmw or other high end car buy ah note or aqua or windroad

a big house... live in a beat up old house

quality over quantity

[shake d livin wake d dead]

using house and car as examples of trying to justify an expensive phone makes NO SENSE!

[pugboy]

that phone could pay a months or more mortgage

[Rovin]

i myself not a running down new phone person, still using my redmi7 4yrs going, recently change d protector around it & it doesnt even have a single scratch on it, looks like new & nobody know is a ole phone, i dont care if its a ole model cause it still fully functional & does everything i need it to ... when it dead i will change it

[VexXx Dogg]

The simplest explanation is that people like things.
That's pretty much it.

There are some people who will dump 50k on an audiophile sound system when they can get the same outcome from half the price.

People would bake cake with butter for 60, or margarine for 10

Most people use their phone for a few things other than the obvious calls.
Pics.
Vids.
Games.

kids use it to flex and for pips among their peers. grown ass folk who do that are just cringe.

[pugboy]

i doh feel true audiophiles does take out loans though

[VexXx Dogg]

now you going into a discussion about misplaced priorities, and ego over common sense.

is this a joke? those $1500 phone are garbage and people who use them regularly are self harming they should get a good functional phone preferably in apple brand i see they selling iphone 11 for $4000

[pugboy]

yes the cheap androids are woft
software crashing and no update fix etc
a mid range phone from good mfg is better
$4-5k max

[DMan7]

I have cheap android a few years now and working bess. What's the issue?

[Chimera]

This is the typical payments for a 14 to 15000 phone

[paid_influencer]

What in the name of usury is this???

[maj. tom]

Like rum prices set to go up. Hearing on TV from Alexander how Angostura on fire, hard to contain because of the alcohol. PBR open to public right now.

[Chimera]

20% every 6 months

When you take for 48 months. It reches 260% interest

[pugboy]

ouch
24 is almost double

Nah, most folks don't need something more expensive than say, a Samsung A34. That's about 1900~2000 TTD landed if you buy online. Spending more than that on a midrange phone is a woft.

[Chimera]

Hadda consider the risk. It's not a item that can be tracked or easily seized. Like a fridge or tv or couch set or vehicle.

[supercharged turbo]

I didn't even know they gave out loans for cellphones

[Chimera]

To be clear that's through courts financing. I does only get my initial 14- 15k after some weeks.

Courts does collect their monthly payments directly

You can get loan on anything and everything.

I was gonna try it for car audio equipment and tools but I done have my hands busy with cellphones and gaming systems.

[snatman]

So rum prices going up after that fire? time to stock up?

Those A series phones are a waste, with way too many issues coming up for it to be coincidences.
My A50 stopped charging after 23 months, changing the circuitboard with the charging port didnt work, wouldve had to change the main board.

My A51 started boot cycling after 11 months and nobody could make heads or tails of the issue. The vibration motor also stopped working after 4 months.

My mom's A52 started unsticking itself from the back plate after almost 2 years.

My coworker's A71 stopped vibrating after 2 years and it gets atrocious battery life with regular use.

I just end up buying a blasted S23U, my mom about to buy a S23 and the coworker got a S21.

[Chimera]

Bossman you watching the time periods? You real lucky those phones last you that long....
A year and you lucky from an a series

They give out loans for carnival costumes as well. Should call them the sufferer special loans. You can easily see where people priorities lie or rather does not
