T-MOBILE just gave me $400 for my old Galaxy S8 on trade in for my Galaxy S21 FE, so this is an outstanding device for $300. Performing magnificently so far. Huge bang for the buck. Not sure what the S22 brings to the table but I doubt I'd give an extra $800 for it. My strategy of staying 1 or 2 steps behind the technology is a very affordable one.

I do this too with computers. I bought 2 identical HPs that came with 24" IPS monitors last Christmas. $237 via Walmart. I have my reasons. The CPUs are i3-10100 >>>>> Core i3-10100 10th Generation 4-Core - 8-Thread - 3.6 GHz (4.3 GHz Turbo) Same specs as an i5 from 2019. Intel has been serious lagging as far as upgrading the GPU on all its desktop CPUs anyways. But Intel's laptop mobile CPUs do have more advanced graphics, which is a kick. These graphics are called G7 and Iris Xe It shows that Intel is concentrating on mobiles, not desktops.

G7 and Iris Xe / i5 super deal on 17.3" that comes and goes at Walmart. You have to hunt it. >>>> https://www.walmart.com/ip/Refurbished-HP-17-by4061nr-17-3-FHD-i5-1135G7-2-4GHz-Intel-Iris-Xe-Graphics-8GB-RAM-512GB-SSD-Win-10-Home-or-higher-Natural-SIlver/353306478

-—>>>> HP/ 300 nits/ IPS/ FHD/17.3” laptop. With the best onboard GPU. Better than what Intel GPU has in its desktop CPUs, even now with their 12th gens for desktops. Yes, I have looked and checked them out. YES this Wally-World deal fades in and out. I could have bought one yesterday but I am all set.
