Some phones were absolute beasts when they launched, but buying them in 2026, that's a completely different story.
- The Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra. Bro, this phone used to be a monster. You had a gorgeous AMOLED display, a 108-megapixel camera, and an insane 10x optical zoom. But here's the problem: this phone launched in 2021, and Samsung has ended its regular software and security updates for the S21 series. You're buying an old flagship with no more regular security patches, and after 5 years, there's also a good chance the battery has seen better days. Sure, the cameras are still respectable, but unless you're getting this thing ridiculously cheap, I think twice. You're buying yesterday's flagship while newer phones offer longer software support.
- The iPhone 11. Yes, this phone was popular, but it's 2026. We need to stop pretending every old iPhone is automatically a good deal. You get an LCD screen, no 5G, and a design with bezels thick enough to pay rent. The performance can still handle basic tasks, but you're missing newer features, and the camera system has been outclassed by newer phones. Depending on the price, you might be paying
