Freeing my phone

The thing is that bottom barrel low ends are already in the “I would rather not pay for that” range. At least a few hundred for an unlocked phone, not including tax. Phones and technology in general are so much more expensive where I live. As I have said repeatedly, old devices such as cameras still cost a fortune. When someone talks about new things on the forum, I think to myself, “I cannot even get a device several generations older at a cheaper price than the new thing that they are talking about.” Hence, why I ask for hand me downs.

I was confused for a second. Disney makes phones now?!

They are not cheap to me. I suppose they are cheaper than comparable devices. Quite a range of devices: Which model is particularly compelling to you? What should one avoid?
