My trusty Samsung Galaxy S7 that I bought in 2017 is bricked and now I must buy a new phone. What are the recommendations of the hexbear community for a replacement? I was satisfied with my elderly phone except that there was a lot of junk that came with the phone that I couldn't delete, and for the last couple years or so I've had to delete an app before I could add an app, so that was kind of annoying. But other than that, I was happy with it, so I don't need the newest coolest thing.
I usually just buy a refurbished Galaxy that's a few gens behind for $150.
Exactly what I do too, except with One Plus phones.
Mind you, I fucking hate smartphones and use mine only when I don't have a choice.
I've thought about going with refurbished, but figuring out which phone to get and getting everything set up the way I want it is such a hassle that I typically want something that's going to last as long as possible so I don't have to go through the hassle again any time soon, and a refurbished phone just seems like it won't last as long. Or is that just prejudice talking?
