Just throwing this out there. TCL's a bit fishy with security. https://www.digitalinformationwor...e.html?m=1

I know this was for TVs a while back but just wanted to throw this information out there for anyone concerned about security.

Just my 2 cents. Hope everyone is having awesome holidays.

Lmao This. A phone doesn't suddenly become DOA if it doesn't get updates. I still have devices from 10 years ago that still work. Something on Android 9 or above is gonna do fine for awhile yet.

Although I'll also argue that battery degradation on a phone that's been turned off for the last 2-3 years is gonna be minimal.
Why would a flagship phone from 2 to 4 years ago be turned off for the last 2 to 3 years?
And if that phone was fully charged and left somewhere warm, the battery will degrade much faster than if it were only 1/3 to 1/2 charged and stored in a cool location.

Buying a used phone is always a gamble, especially with battery life.

I'd go for the new TCL.
I had to get rid of my last Samsung due to multiple issues, after giving them a second chance, so never going back to them. Loved my Note 2, but the Note 4 was problematic abs had to be replaced when the screen fell off. Went to Essential after that. When support ended, tried S20 FE, but would crash often, had screen jitters, and rebooted when I launched the camera. Thank God it was free. Traded it in on iPhone 12. It's not perfect, but doesn't crash. Want to go back to Android in a couple years.

Oh, ended up getting a cheap Red Pocket sim for the Essential phone to use a mobile hotspot and data uploader from my cars OBD2 Reader.

No one has said anything about a used phone. The pixel 3 xl is on sale, new in box from reputable retailers for $199.

The S9 is definitely a used phone. Is / was Pixel 3 ever a flagship phone. Good cameras, but not processors.

An older flagship is the exact wrong thing to purchase. The batteries in them are all older now and will not last that long, and updates DO NOT MATTER. They have mattered ONE TIME in the entire history of android. Please stop if I see another post about update concern I'm going to lose my shiz.
Incorrect. It doesn't matter how old the phone is. What matters is how many charging cycles the battery has been through. So a new 2 year old flagship bought today will have the same battery life as the same phone sold 2 years ago, even though both devices came from the same factory on the same day.

The reason to buy an older flagship as new is because the hardware is comparable to 2021 flagships, with a much lower pricetag. In many cases, the software CAN be updated, just not from the original vendor.

I need to replace my phone because its only 3G and won't work soon. I am on TracFone and only talk, text, and use a few restaurant apps. Not concerned too much with security because I don't do anything financial on the phone. Will this work for me?
I read all the posts but didn't see anything relating to Tracfone.
Any info would be appreciated.

Do you have the plan or the prepaid? I want to make sure this will work with my cricket plan
Cricket top tier plan, unlimited more plan. Hotspot works, but no 5g.

If you get a good price then changing a battery on a phone isn't that hard to do.

Still have this phone. It's decent but my charging port got loose within 6months despite babying the phone. Custo service was slow to respond and wanted me to wipe phone and send back to see if problem under warranty. Super annoying and i haven't been able to find a replacement port on ebay or elsewhere. Just upgraded to moto one ace 5g. Don't think I'll go back to TCL.

lol what are you talking about. Last christmas I bought my brother a new s7 edge for $190 and I bought my Mom a standard s7 for $150, Both are going strong and batteries last all day. Not everyone is burning through batteries on Tik tok and playing mobile games all day.
I'm about to buy a s9+ for $210 off of ebay. phones gonna last me longer than yours, guaranteed.

I am still using Android 8.1 on my moto G5 plus and it is running just fine. I can switch anytime since I have a couple newer phones as spare when I am feeling advantageous but I have a feeling I would only change when the screen is cracked (it would be my fault) or the. Battery swells up. By the time maybe 4G LTE is being phased out.

They have a bundle where you can get their wireless bluetooth earbuds for $10 after you clip the coupon on the earbuds page and add the phone and earbud to the cart.
