I owned a samsung s8 for a while, purchased it for about $700 brand new just when it came out. Since it followed the new trend of having everything be glass, and I am a clumsy person, it ended up breaking.

Repairing it would have cost be about $400, and second hand s8s go for around that rate. It simply didn't make sense to repair it and sell it, or even to repair it at all really.

I ended up purchasing a second hand Pixel XL (1st version) for $180. It has lasted me incredibly well, and I've had hardly any problems. The phone is durable, has a headphone jack, and a fantastic camera.

It seems that most phone hardware now has reached the point of being more than good enough. The only real bottle neck for many devices is software. My Samsung phones, with their bloated skins, always seemed to age quite quickly. When the software experience is finely tuned and bloat removed, then phones seem to last indefinitely.
