Any good deals on new Samsung S10 at the moment? - or equivalent suggestion :-)

[Graphite]

Hi - looking for Samsung galaxy S10 for my wife.

She currently has Samsung A5 (2017) which she loves - but she is jealous of the photos my phone takes lol 😁

If you know of anything equivalent that would be helpful too - she prefers the slightly smaller size phone but does want an amazing camera. Also needs 3.5mm headphone jack ( so new S series are out) and decent battery life - hence wanting a new phone rather than a refurbished one.

Many thanks

The Pixel 4a is still being sold on the google website as their budget friendly option. It is a perfect small-hand friendly size and has a wonderful camera. Public Mobile is selling it too in “like new” condition, which I would feel comfortable buying. Their description of like-new:

 Like-new:
Someone opened the box on these phones and then changed their mind: it’s as close to perfect as you can get with a pre-owned phone.

@XionBunny   but honest, A52 is a solid mid range phone , the battery lasts long, too

If one is willing to take a chance on a refurbished phone on eBay and is an AirMiles (cash) collector, you have a couple of hours left to collect 22 AirMiles (approximately $2.30) for every $20 spent before shipping taxes. I'm not contradicting myself but helping to point to an additional incentive.

It's hard to beat the camera on the pixel 3 or the 3xl  but it might be too big of a phone whereas the 3 would probably be the perfect size. Order by tomorrow and save an additional $30 by using the promocode 10off. Or you could also save on the shipping by ordering it from them thru Amazon. If you are outside of Ontario you will only pay gst. Sale price $269.

They also have some decent deals on the 4a and 5a pixel phones.

Some cyber Monday deals from B&H Photo. You would have to check the camera specs yourself. The moto camera is great in daylight but moto g7+ fails in the low light department. Not sure how  much improved it is their model.

Note all prices from B&H in US$.

TCL may be better...

Best price I can find on the Google Pixel 3...$249

But yes I have been checking out the A52 and A72... not sure how the cameras compare though?

the cameras are just decent for A52, A72, not exceptional .. check this

In terms of battery, CPO phone is a slight gamble.. you don't know  what was the previous condition.. but.. it's backed by a 1 year warranty, so, better than buying off used from Kijiji.

Ouch, now i feel bad seeing that camera review 😕

Consider Huawei P40 in the same price range of $399. Camera quality is amazing. 128GB memory. with 3.5 mm jack. Battery subject to previous use.

Well speaking as an owner of the A52 5G I think the cameras are pretty good, but here's a review for everyone to judge on their own:

@Graphite CPO S10 still $399  with $30 bill credit

Brand new A52 , still have headphone jack for $489, not sure if Samsung still have the Google Play store credit (honest, not very useful)
