The last 5 years, 7 out of 10 of my upgrades have been through Samsung because of their promotions, trade-ins. Majority of the trades was POS phones that have no value so I wasn't worried. I did send in a Google Pixel 7 and most recently an iPhone XR, both in great conditions., both went...

I wonder if Samsung will bump up the Flip6 trade-in from $915 to $1500 for the TriFold. 🤪🤪🤪😂😂

Sure... 😏😏😝

That is pretty tight? 36 months to finance a phone? Half of my upgrades was through carriers, the latest was my (second) Flip 6 I got last July for $5 for 24 months and $350 in-store credit. Deal was too good to pass hence why I bought it again after selling my launch phone. This the phone...

My first car was black back in 1999 and after 6 purchases throughout the years I didn't even consider buying back again. Same with phones once companies started offering different colors I always try to get it. I get it easier to sell.

Technically, I did, I sold my S25 Mint back in Spring. When you can get $350 for an iPhone XR and free Buds3, it's hard not to take advantage of it. So back during Black Friday (promotion was on for a few weeks) I got the S25+ in Coral Red. It needed to be Samsung's exclusive colors to get...

During the Black Friday month, Samsung was giving me $915 CAN for my Flip 6. The days of getting excited for a new phone sadly is long gone. Now, at least for Samsung, it's all about what promotions we're for pre-ordering.

Honestly, it's not even about the phones anymore. This is about pre-order, trade-in, promotion. LOL I miseed those days. The anticipation. Sad.

Good to hear. Since my December trip got pushed back to May, I might consider flying to Hong Kong for Disneyland.

Shocking. It's on my list. I've never had an Oppo, difficult to find the flagship models in Manila. Even my Xiaomi 15t Pro, I got my brother to buy it in Tokyo back in October.

This happened to my OnePlus 7 Pro. It fell out of my pocket as I was getting off my friend's car... It bounced off the ground the case top right corner somehow comes off and bounces twice. Nice chunk chipped off. It was sold within a week. 😅

They act as if they're phones are not having battery issues. Majority took advantage of this year's Black Friday because of it. How many year has Oppo, Huawei, Xiaomi have been using Silicon Carbon? I just feel like we're behind or worst being limited.

Google. I have no faith on. Apple. This is the company that years before they made 128GB a standard, had the "courage" to remove the 3.5mm Headphone Jack, said we don't need Chargers. I'm not expecting anything from this company.

I can can understand why Apple and Google but why is Samsung avoiding Silicon Carbon on it's flagship phones like the Edge and the upcoming S26 Ultra? Gemini says Samsung is cautious and playing it safe since the Note 7 fiasco. It's been 10 years. Are they playing it too safe or just...

Shocking. Samsung is using the Edge's camera design.
