my mum cracked her screen today and is not worth repairing as its 5 years old Xiaomi was and still is a nice phone and can still be used but she hates the crack
she looking for the best phone she could get for around $500
what would you guys recommend
no just want the best specs i can get for like $500
The best would probably be waiting for samsung to do more of their big trade-in deals. Last year I got the S24 for $550 and the S24FE would've been around $400 if I had chosen that instead. If you can get them cheap with the trade-ins then they've got better specs for the money than the chinese phones (poco, redmi, etc)
Samsung won't take Xiaomi phones as trade in
@Drcspy: Or just get a 2nd hand non functional phone from trade me.
But at the moment the deals are not that great so I'd wait for mid year
Is it just the screen protector? Some great utube clips on replacing them.
Then can take your time buying a new one.
Have found the best deals at xmas if you can wait
Galaxy A35 or A36.
I just got a Samsung A56 for $575 through Samsung Educational store. You need educational institutional email address like a school or college to get it set up though. Basically sign up with a new account using this link https://www.samsung.com/nz/offer/student-discounts/ Base price is $639 plus a 10% first purchase discount.
It might be worth waiting until Mother's day to see if any good Samsung deals come up. There were some good offers last year.
Any particular preferred manufacturer? Features? Overseas or local with warranty?
