Curious to see how much the majority of people here spend, especially with flagships prices getting out of hand in the last few years.

maybe less in the future, cause most phones are good enough already.

About $300. Lately I have purchased a lightly used Pixel off eBay (when the new generation drops) and have had great success.

I bought my current phone for equivalent of 150 USD this year. I flashed lineage os immediately and without bloatware it is running pretty smooth. I am pretty happy with it.

I can’t find ROMs for any Infinix phone on the Lineage OS website.

I wait for a good discount (because they always come eventually) and buy the flagship. I’m too embarassed to give the figure based on the other answers here, though. I’ve just always had bad experiences with the lower end that when looking over a long period, I’ve barely saved, since I’d had to upgrade it more often. I guess I haven’t given the lower end a chance for about 12 years, so things might have changed.

Same, paying more for something that will last longer and be a better experience during that time is worth it.
