Previous years have seen me make a major upgrade every year or two years but with how much device prices outright have been outrageous it's hard to make that justification when the differences between devices is minimal in day to day use. The last one I did, S7 edge to Note 8 was almost a $500 jump when I got back the value of my first device towards the new one. Now the next Note is probably going to start around $1400 if not more.
And they're releasing a pro model? Who has money to jump onto these phones these days I wonder. Anyways, I'm trying to see what else is still a jump but short of taking something like a S10+, I don't see a whole lot of devices that attract me. I want to like the Pixel but no micro SD basically makes it a nonstarter.
