      it's time for the Flip.

      otherwise, it's the same looks like cheap old/used phones.

        Last time I check Xiaomi and Realme are free to sell they inferior phones in the USA just like how oneplus sell they inferior phones in the USA and nobody buys oneplus phones in the USA and same will happen to Xiaomi and Realme if they decide to start sell in the USA market.

          Now Huawei is in free fall and apple is growing where there's "real competition" :

          Plus it's not wise to compare apple who only sells flagship devices with android OEMs that 95% of their sells are from under 500$ devices

            maniac, 04 Nov 2021Huawei was the only company that could beat appleCan confirm, Hisilicon was the second most buyer of TSMC after Apple.

            Then Android shot itself in the foot, Qualcomm went to SM Foundry for 888 which is inferior in node density to TSMC for 5nm, Botched Kirins.

            Maybe Kirin could have made something similar to M1s knowing that Kirin 9000 still hold well to this day and still leads FP16 benchmark , over SD888, Exynos2100 and Tensor .

              Bodygard, 04 Nov 2021True. But that "war" isn't over yet. Xiaomi ... moreXiaomi doesn't sell phones in the US

                              Apple phones have the fastest silicon and some of the best cameras, but neither of those account for their popularity. The blue and green bubbles are everything to a group of people obsessed with status.

                                  [deleted post]This kind of mentality is why you can't phantom iPhones being great phones and leading sales for premium phones in most markets. It's just the better premium device, deal with it or get out.

                                    Anonymous, 04 Nov 2021Because it's local brand for USA. Good service center ... moreExactly....IPhone manages to lead only where there aren't any real choices.
                                    It's funny how much they lobbied the US Govt to ban Huawei.
                                    "When you can't stop a better product, malign the product and its image " this is their strategy.

                                      thats because no one else is allowed to sell there except for sammy, moto and 1 or 2 oneplus phones.
                                      also, their people aren't the brightest when it comes to making their mind about things, they just follow trends and celebs and buy what they are using regardless if they can afford it or, cause they will buy it on a 2 year plan where the damn phone is going to cost 3 times the actual price, and lets not forget that they are still buying locked phones and if they want unlocked ones, they will pay an extra 50$ to apple.

                                        Best thing to do... Simply buy the phone online from something like aliexpress. And get the best phones that you want...
