Had a blackberry tour as my 1st phone and then I bought the amazing htc one, after that I got a note 8 and now all 3 phones are in a non working condition. I need a replacement for my phones.

I like the bulletproof toughness of the htc one while I love the size and performance of the note 8. I've got sprint and hoping to get the phone at a promotion of 50% off.

I was going to get the note 10+ a while back for 50% off but I decided to wait till it drops in price. Sadly the phone only went up in price from 20$ a month to 45+.

I want a phone that's nice and big like the note series but at the moment notes aren't being produced due to the virus. I am without a phone but I need a phone to play runescape since my pc is old from 2009.

I don't know what to get an hate iphones, I love the android layout in a same way that I love and use windows vista over windows 10 and 11.

So what phone do I get? Some ppl told me to get a used note 10+ but they're 400 and I could've had a new one for 500 when it first came out, when it was 50% off.

I looked at the razer phones and if they're like their mouses I have 0 intention in getting it. Been through 3 150$ mouses in a year.

I just wanna play runescape :'(

Why dont you buy a reasonably cheap laptop to play RuneScape?

You will have a far better experience playing RS on a lappy than on a phone.

I love my iPhone 12. RuneScape runs very well on it. It also takes great quality pictures/videos. Sorry I can’t be of much help lol. Brassica Prime:

All I can think of is to get some sort of a secondhand Samsung Galaxy. I know they are pretty expensive, even secondhand. I'm sure you could get something in the Note series secondhand online.

I just looked up 2nd hand galaxies... they are cheap. Far out... I wanna buy one.

I better go to sleep before I make a late night purchase of something I don't need.

Good night.

I've already got a galaxy s10+

I like it a lot. I've got some cool apps ya can't find on google store.

I don't like how Facebook comes pre-installed. I don't like the cloud storage thing that comes preinstalled. I don't like bixby. There's a few things I don't like about it but overall I love it. I tried making a custom OS but it didn't turn out great. I switched back to the standard OS and just keep the cool apps on my memory card.

I think I paid $1,500 for this phone when it first came out.

I never used a phone protector cos I roll with my shet off safety.... i don't even use a password or find my phone. It has a few cracks but it's still good. It's strong considering how many times I've dropped it. I wasn't really planning on getting it repaired.... I was just windows shopping while my truck was getting rego check. I asked the phone shop how much to repair the screen and back cover... he said something like $200.

Long story short.... after reading this thread last night, I looked up second hand s10+. I found a place sells emergency for $350 in "immaculate condition".

The more I think about it the more I wanna buy it LOL.

I've never paid that much for a phone. I think I would pay $350 for a secondhand phone like the one you mentioned, Galaxy S10+.

I've been checking out Oppo phones because a mate of mine has got one and it seems like a good phone.

The one I'm thinking of buying is here

https://www.spark.co.nz/shop/mobile/phones/oppo-a5-2020

It has good specs and a 6.5 " Display size, the only setback the OP may not like is its 4G, not 5G capable as far as I can see.

They have top of the line phones but they can cost a lot more.
