    Just got a Samsung S21 256gb Uk Used at Computer Village, and against my fears, the phone looks as good as new with no issues whatsoever, for just 250k. I guess this is probably luck, considering a colleague got the 128gb of the same phone for 300k and the phone overheats badly

    I think anybody would be foolish to argue with that, lol. New is always better, but new is also more more expensive... people looking to buy used phones do so to save cost and get a good phone for the price, not because they believe used phones are better than new ones😅

    ​@CRAB.. they are, it takes years for mid range phones to catch up and the old flagship equivalent will always cost less than the almost comparable latest mid range. Current A ranges best offerings is around or worse than s20 performance with worse screens and none of the flagship features. Whilst costing way more than a second hand s20.
