Is Honor 8 a better value than iPhone 7?

Most ppl do the EIP so buying it a state (when the phone is BRAND NEW no less) that won't charge you tax is rarely an option....

Personally, if i purchased phones solely based on resale value i'd still be rockin' a Motorola Razr flip phone...lol

I just calculate the approx loss, split that up into the weeks (yes i said WEEKS...lol) i own it and just rationalize, ,"well it cost me approx 25 to 30 a week to rent this GREAT 'state of the art' piece of tech", then i sell it and its ON TO THE NEXT : )

Since you mentioned eip (finance contract), Buy a iPhone 6 used for around $300 for trade in, finance contract on the iPhone 7 for free, sell the iPhone 7 for $300 in 2 years... The iphone would essentially be free.

Who knows in a couple of Years A Honor 8 this good will sell for a lot more than $35. A $700 smartphone will resell for half in a couple of years. A $400 Honor 8 will not sell for $35. This phone is that good and will hold its value. Great job Huawei.

Based on current promotions, the iPhone 7 is practically free with a bit of work. I would predict that this thing won't be worth more than $150 in 2 years.
