Availability for a new Samsung Galaxy S9?

does it have to be the S9? if you have to buy retail, id go for A71 with the SPC 20% off

makes no sense to buy such an old phone for that kinda money

I agree with above poster. S9 is too old, also you can get it for far cheaper on Kijiji/FB marketplace. My suggestion is go for S10e/A71/Pixel 3a/Oneplus 7T. Oneplus 7T is $669 from Oneplus website but is currently OOS. You can get notified if it is in stock. Oneplus 7T is a far better phone than the S9.

If that is the cheapest option, then I'll just go with that.

here's that deal link: samsung-ca-samsung-a51-a71-383-99-479-9 ... d-2370321/

much better and much lower cost

Thanks all. I admittedly have only had an S6 and S7 (currently) and never thought to consider the A line of phones.
I'll do some research and see how the A71 compares to the flagship S series.

S9 has a better camera and probably a better processor (this part i am not 100% sure, depends on what you're doing)

A71 is a newer phone which means you will get updates soon, bigger and better screen with the holepunch screen.

I personally would recommend you see if you can score a s10e at a decent price as its as close to the old S lines as you will get in terms of size. S10e/S10 will probably be the last samsung flagship phone with a headphone jack if you care about that.

Yes, after watching lots of videos last night, the S10e is exactly what I'm getting. When I looked up the the recommended A71 I was surprised at how big it is. I like the size of my S7, so the S10e is right up my alley.

My son still uses a S6 Edge and wife still uses a S7. Both are still good for what they use it for. They don't even want to upgrade.

I used to use a Galaxy S7. I needed to upgrade because the battery life was starting to shorten. I wanted to switch to an A series phone because it was cheaper. But when I looked at it, I though it was a downgrade from the S7 for me. I wanted a equal screen to the S7, wireless charging and NFC. Simple list, but none of which the A series offered. If you're only focused on price, the A series will satisfy that criterion.

I eventually got a Galaxy S9 and I am very happy with it. This was in 2018. I'll have this phone for another year or two when there is something worth upgrading to.
