I have always purchased cheap phones. Whenever I would renew my contract every 2 years I'd get whatever is free or under $100. That usually means the cheapest of the cheap. I had an LG still then an acer z630 as my previous phones. Worked great. I renewed a few days ago and I qualified for a galaxy s7 for $100. I really don't see the big deal? My acer had a larger battery capacity and features I actually used such as the phone automatically shutting off when I go to sleep and starting up before my alarm. Most of the features on the s7 are a gimmick and I have to have battery saving mode on max to get through the day with minimal use. Why do people want high end phones? It has a good camera and a pretty display. That's it.
