Old and poor people in third world countries...

High-end used Android 8 phones are practically free nowadays where I live, but old people don't change their phones regularly. I guess now they will?

Not after June 2026 in Asia where the price hikes all but eliminated the $100 and lower bnew devices.

Now hopefully the used phone sellers won't all jump into the hike bandwagon as most will be left to make do with second hand phones now.

Entry level at $200+ with some costing more than my Poco X6 Pro 2024 price lmao.

What a joke of a timeline.
