Well, that high end phone will become low end phone in two years, or even faster if you can't update its OS. So, in this case we are comparing, 2 years of high end phone + 8 years of low end phone against 10 years of low end phone for half the price.

I don't really see what point you are trying to make.

Very few people keep the same phone for ten years; most people upgrade every few years, such that their high-end phone never becomes deemed a low-end unit.

If you're particularly cost-conscious, and don't see the added value of a high-end phone, then buy a low-end phone.
