I am happy with my Oppo Reno 6 and planning to upgrade to Oppo Reno 8 Pro or One Plus 10T later this month.

    People in some countries are still struggling to get 10Mbps on 4G and 5G is still evolving. Will take two three years for world wide roll out. 200-500Mbps is max 5G can offer.

There is also Sustained Performance, Battery Life, Display Quality, Software Support, Hardware Features, Availability, Customer Service, Custom ROMs, Speakers, etc etc.

        A lot of the times, you can get "refurbished" devices cheaper than those alternatives. Or discounts on ex-flagships. There's also the Used Market. Or you can even look at sensible midrange options like the Samsung A52-s, and Samsung S20Fe.

                Somehow , only price of SoC is guilt for the increase according to some readers here.

                                Almost everything is made on them. All memories, ram, gpus and what not.
                                And almost all electronics use CPUs . Even washing machines.
