I hope so. But the chip supply is kinda worrying me.

            In android world
            Flagship, premium midrange & midrange will be 100% 5G

              how did they come up with exact numbers? maybe midrange phones will get sold a lot more since flagships are a constant letdown for the past couple of years for many people.
