Title: Need new cell phone...
Post by: gdv on December 30, 2020, 09:11:33 AM: OK, I desperately need a new cell phone...
Don't really WANT to spend $2,000 for a phone!!! 🙂 What are the good brands/models out there now? Need to make a decision by end of this week... 🙂

Thank you!

However, the current issue of Consumer Reports rates the Samsung Galaxy Note 20 ($1300), the Apple iphone 12 Pro, 128GB ($1,000) and the LG Velvet 5G, 128 GB ($600) highly. Refurbished models, with a warranty may be available for less
