$600 is mid range now?

$470?

Likely depends on region. If you're looking at US pricing it's going to be inflated since it's not meant for that market.

But, even at $600, that's pretty mid range, and has been for at least a year if not two.

Apparently it is. Phone manufacturers and people who get sent dozens of phones every year for free get a little out of touch with reality sometimes. As far as I'm concerned, nothing above $300 is "budget".

Amazon listing says $600
I thought base model phones maxed out at around $600 other than apple and experimental phones like the galaxy fold

oh, I just realized the amazon links to Oppo Reno 3 Pro, not 4 which is what this video is about.
wait, so how much DOES this phone cost?

edit;

ok, so it is $470

Was price mentioned in the video? I must have missed it if so. I just clicked the link to buy on amazon and saw the $600 price

OK So where do I buy one?
*USA Market.
The links in the video are not the same phone.

I absolutely need a headphone jack on my new phone, and this one looks appropriate.

Who said anything about budget? If you're on a tight budget, you'd aim at entry level, not mid range. Mid range, by definition, would be between 0 and the high end. Which is exactly where it's marketed, if not a little lower.

Right. Because if you're looking at Amazon, it's been imported, and they have to pay shipping, fees, and then their profit on top of that.

I'd check your band compatibility first. The phone isn't marketed towards North America, so there's a chance it won't work with your carrier at all.

Or better yet, look for something used or refurbished at the price range.

Exactly. Or grab something from Motorola, they're always having pretty good sales.

i wonder how long software support will last. that's the main thing that keeps phones with good specs usable. it's the reason i can still use my iPhone 6s. software support means everything to me.
