No, I wouldn't touch a phone at that price.
I consider that price a liability, actually, because it would necessitate that I keep the phone for many years, and I'd have no guarantee that the phone would, in fact, last that many years unless I also pony up for a very expensive insurance plan. I also would have no guarantee that the phone would remain of interest for the number of years that I would have to "cost it out." Heck, 5G is probably going to come along next year and make any older phone look really old really fast.
In short, phones at that price are simply a bad idea financially for most people.
Also, the chance of buyer's remorse would be high, especially given that after the initial "wow" period, you'd realize that you're essentially just doing the same things on the phone that you did with your previous phone, except now you're $1,600 lighter.
