Yeah, but his phone is broken so that's out of the choices he can do. The phone has to be fully functional for the Samsung Trade. I'd still say get a S7 and call it a day. It's basically the same as the S8 except the S8 just has a few features more. Not to mention its $200 for an S7, you could save until the S9 drops (which is supposed to be beyond awesome), but hey its your money.
