Hey everyone,
So my situation is that I have been offered a Galaxy S3 for $160. My buddy is using it to cover the cost to upgrade to a Galaxy S5. What he is doing though is getting it replaced through a warranty so I will be buying it in essentially new condition.
The phone I currently own is a Galaxy Nexus, which I understand is only slightly behind in performance. However I got my Galaxy Nexus for free and it has the green battery symbol burned into the screen.
I thought $160 for the Galaxy S3 would be a reasonable price. I don't want to buy a new phone from my carrier because I have a really cheap plan and I don't want that to change due to going on a contract. I'm a little put off at the 720p resolution, but that's not a huge deal. It's still a very nice phone that I see a lot of people still using, and the last price I saw it go for was $300 on sale at newegg.
So what are all your thoughts on this? Is this a good deal, are there other options?
