Poll: Is your current phone cheaper or more expensive than your previous one?

Here’s an interesting question - are phones getting more expensive each year, and do people buy them nonetheless? I feel that smartphones now cost too much but it might be just me - after all, a couple of years ago I bought a Nokia 8 for about $400, and it was a flagship phone (albeit a Nokia).

Then I got my Huawei Mate 20 Pro shortly afterward for north of $1000, so yeah - different phones, different target groups but still - it seems that people are buying expensive phones. I might be wrong, though - the Galaxy A-series is selling like crazy (way better than the S-series, actually), so maybe people are buying affordable phones too.

The real question is - are they coming from a more expensive flagship phone, thus downgrading, or is it the same thing there - just buying the newest A-series model (or any other phone for that matter), which is ever so slightly more expensive than the previous one.

Complicated explanations aside, the question is simple - is your current phone more expensive than your previous one? Or is it cheaper? Of course, there are complications such as trade-in deals, more than one phone, gifts, and whatnot. For all these, please share your story in the comment section below.
