Is Samsung A11 worth buying?

The A11 is an upgrade on the Samsung A10s and A10 device which was released the year prior. The screen has screen has been upgraded from a 6.2" PLS IPS display to a 6.4" using the same technology. It also ships with Android 10 whereas previous iterations had Android 9 and required an update to get the latest security and firmware updates. It's a great light weight entry level phone with USB-c charging and triple rear cameras are great to see on a budget smartphone. 

The A11 does not have NFC or wireless charging but many reviewers feel like it should given the fact that this is a 2020 smartphone release and many Nexus based smartphones from 5 years ago did. It's also has 2GB or 3GB of RAM depending on what capacity option you go with. The build quality is also questionable with the glossy rear housing leaving customers feeling like corners have definitely been cut.

How much is a Samsung A11 worth?

Most A Series releases by Samsung are budget phones built to be meet a certain budget and serve a certain segment of the market. While the resale value may not be worth it, you can definitely trade in an existing A11 for store credit towards a newer phone or repair at all Mobile Tech Lab Winnipeg locations across Manitoba. While carrier often will opt to give you $0, or only give you minimal amounts of bill credit at most, we always give you cash or store credit. Even if your device is damaged. Keep in mind that the phone retails for under $200 brand new in box which means used or broken it significantly loses value. 

Samsung A11 Price Comparison: Should You Buy It Or Finance?

Samsung is known for releasing smartphones to fit in every budget and price point. The A Series of devices does exactly that, providing light weight budget friendly devices that do not disappoint at every consumer price. Should you buy the A11 outright or get it from a Canadian carrier and pay the value down overtime? Here are your options.

Virgin Mobile: $250, or ~$9/mo over 24 months with bonus wireless earbuds and car charger, details here

Bell Mobility: $250 outright, or $9.27/mo over 24 months, bonus Costco Card, wireless earbuds

Given the fact that this is an entry level smartphone, purchasing it for less than $200 and trading it in when your ready to upgrade is a better deal than financing it for a higher price point over a longer period.
