And like it for a few reasons. LG may get my next phone choice. Samsung however has a penchant for too many OS mods so it's not something I'd consider today. I'm not saying you might not like it.
Then we have Sprint. Here the coverage was awful and one the road was awful so I went to Tmobile with Ting.com. Sorry Sprint but you lost me on this plus your charge for me being a new customer. 5 bucks a month for spite? I'm not coming back to you.
Tough call here. My choice at the just under 200 dollar phone price would be https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01DZJFWWS so I don't have to use Spring.
Hey guys,
I'm looking to buy a new high-end smartphone but the new titans (LG G6, Galaxy S8, etc...) are much too expensive for my tastes. I'm getting the phone itself, no plan. EBAY's holding some 20% off deal that ends today (hence the "Alert" post type) so if I want to make a decision I better make it now.
LG G5- Sprint, for $151
Samsung Galaxy S7- US Cellular, for $191
I don't know too much about phones but I do know that the two are very similar to each other- similar screen resolution, same exact chipset, similar price. Both are sold in Refurbished condition for these deals.
Again I am new to this stuff so if these aren't good deals at all then be sure to let me know.
I will be primarily using the phone to do everything I can do on my laptop from the palm of my hand- browsing the web, checking email, messaging (and of course calling)-- but I'll also be using it for graphics-intense games and some other processor-intensive tasks.
