The most I've ever paid for a phone is $200.I buy used Samsungs that are a couple of years old.I just bought a Galaxy S7 Edge for $200 and it's great...everything I need and more.

I wouldn't pay $2000 for a phone even if I was worth a billion.

No it doesn’t. It costs $350 brand new on eBay in about a year and a half and the buyer will not miss out on ANYTHING worth the cost difference between that and whatever ‘flagship’ they’re putting out for whatever inflated price.

2 grand to play games and never make a voice call
AND it will be obsolete in months. What a racket.

...The radical 5G-compatible 6.7-inch ‘Galaxy S10 X’ will start at €1,500 ($1,800) for 8GB/512GB and I understand a flagship 10GB/1TB version is expected to come close to $2,000.

Sounds like the tip top of the line model.

Seems Samsung was not paying attention to Apple’s last quarter earnings.

I long for the day I can throw away anything I own by apple. I suspect I will eventually buy a Samsung product.

I have a Note 8 and I use a Dex station that turns the phone into a PC. It is a remarkable advance. I edit video, burn DVDs and upload my records and files on my server and have all my info in my pocket. If you want to make a phone call or play a game it’s not for you and still has a VERY limited market. There’s reasons for a tool like this but not for 99% of consumers.

I’ve never paid more than $400 for a Samsung phone. I love their phones and tablets. I also bought an SD memory card recently, 400G for $90.

The total labor per phone is probably 1-2% of retail. Slave labor.....

That cost twice what my high end Smart Sewing Machine did. NO way would I pay that for a phone, I get along just fine with the Note 4. Don’t use 3/4ths or more of the Crap they put on it.

Why can’t I order just what I want and need on a phone or Cable. Out of 350 channels might watch 20? Wouldn’t need cable if hubby wasn’t addicted to Nascar, tennis, or car restoring shows. Barrett Jackson I can understand, reliving his youth and some of the cars he owned used never could afford a new one on Military pay.

Smartphone Costs $2,000

Reminds me of an encounter I observed on an elevator ride.

A man is asking a hooker the cost. She told him, $500. His response was, what does it do?

Modern smartphones are personal information integration devices that also just happen to make phone calls.
