I would really like to replace my current Samsung Galaxy S7 with a Samsung Galaxy S20 (or S20 Plus/Ultra). Since I'm not someone who buys every single new version every year (S7, S8, S9 etc.), I am definitely going for the 5G-version, because 5G will most likely be widespread in a couple of years time.
At the moment the cost of a new/open-box S20 5G is at least €650 (or €600 + mobile plan) which is a price that I definitely wouldn't pay for a phone. Meanwhile it doesn't look impossible getting a 2nd-hand phone from private buyers, a phone which is only a few months old, for around €470 (with original purchase documents of course).
I don't see any reason for buying an S20 right at this moment - I would prefer buying one at Black Friday, January Sales or maybe even Spring 2021. On the other hand though, would an S20 5G be less expensive by then, and might I even get a Plus or Ultra? I won't buy a used one at that time, because it will have been used for almost a whole year which is not the same as 2-3 months.
Can anyone predict?
- What will an S20 5G cost in 3 or 6 months time? Less than €500?
- What will an S20 Plus cost in 3 or 6 months time?
- What will an S20 Ultra cost in 3 or 6 months time?
Should I just buy a 2-3 months old S20 5G now for €470, and get more money for my current S7 now, or should I wait and buy a brand new S20 (Plus/Ultra) 5G after some months? I wouldn't even mind selling my S7 now and buy a €10 Alcatel/Nokia etc. I can use for even half a year, and then buy a new S20-series phone.
