    You don’t need to buy the latest iPhone 17 Pro Max at an even more ridiculous price of $1399+
    either.

    On the eve of the S26 Ultra are you going to re-cut this argument?

    Samsung phones known for their depreciation value. Samsung = Bad choice

      Who buys a phone with the hopes of reselling?

      Let’s say they keep good value; you might be able to upgrade yearly to a new Samsung phone. Where I am, We don’t have good deals from Samsung for switching phones.

      Nobody cares about depreciation. Choosing a particular phone because it works best for you is the right way to choose.

    errr it’s not “just 1 generation old”. in just 1 month it becomes 2 generations old, it’s 1.9 generations old…and it has already been 2 full generations behind fir months in terms of specs, when compared to its competitors

    people, it’s a phone. it’s not something like a baseball card which you buy and hope to sell it at a higher price.

    Same for iPhone, why pay the latest flagship phone when you can get the last generation that still has the specs which are just as good

    This vid is only about a year out of date with the S26 ultra being released in just days???

      Agreed. I think this post might have been a mixup in their content scheduling.

    Buy $XA70P before it goes 20X. Utility tokens like this will rule.

    If you’re watching and still unsure about $XA70P, look at its recent growth. Active devs, listings on the way, early adopters already seeing 5–10x.

    Is Bitcoin done? Is this the start of altseason? Either way — $XA70P is the top play.

    You don’t even use all of those specs…

    Comparing the price of new vs used S24..?

    Hahahahahaha why not compare it with a new S24..?

    The half price is just to sensationalize 😂😅😅😂😅

    Does the S25U still have a *Bluetooth* pen?
