How do I convince my parents to get an s8 over my moms old iphone 5s or some cheap $200 phone?
Don't get me wrong, I would appreciate anything, but I would prefer something newer if I can get it. I really want a nice camera and something fast. |

How about you man up and deal with an older version of a phone. Phones are for communication. Does it matter what generation you have?

I literally said I would appreciate and be fine with anything.
It's like saying somebody is a brat if they say "I would like this ford, but if I can afford it I would like to get a Ferrari."
Being a brat would be: "wow can't believe somebody only got me this ford. They didn't even get me a Ferrari! I don't even want this Ford."
It's almost as if the better phone is better.

| Wonderful. Are you sending them money? No? Mmkay. Look up "cheap smartphone" and you will see ######### ####### Also, hate to break it to you, but $200 is the cheapest smartphone AT&T has under their "Next" payment plan. I'm homeschooled and a phone is the only way I can socialize with my friends. I want something powerful enough to use ######## and all the other cancer apps with a relatively good camera. I want something reliable also. Sure I could get some $10 flip phone that will get terrible reception and will probably break in a couple of months, but I'd rather not. Not only that, but I help me parents save money to help pay for my phone. So no, I'm not spoiled or a brat. I want a phone so that I don't go crazy with only having contact with my parents. I want to talk to my friends and play mobile games with them. |

| Ask yourself, 'What do I need?' Samsung S8 is out of the picture. Your parents aren't going to want to pay $800 for a phone. Also, Samsung realeases something new every six months, so when a new one comes out, you will envy it, and not be grateful for what you already have. I started out with a slide phone, worked great, awesome reception, battery was incredible. Who cares what kind of phone you get, just be grateful for an iPhone 5s. |

get any phone, then sell it/give it to poor kids if you would sell it, donate the money to charity |

They weren't originally going for an s8. They were just planning to get a cheap $200 or less phone, but I found a way to save us about $80 a month on our TV and Internet bill, so I think they are much more willing to go for it now.
Honestly, I would be fine with anything, I just would prefer get something that will last me a long time with a good camera and performance.
Another option that might be interesting and the Nokia 3310 remake.
I totally see where you are coming from though. |

| $2OO will literally get you a great phone. Don't complain or you'll get a crappy 50$ phone that has a keypad. |

The keyword here is >want<
If they're buying it for you, they can choose. |
