    The Android Freak, 20 Oct 2022Why not Motorola?If it's not South Korean, Japanese or American, I'm not interested and I'm not spending one euro on other no-name replica brands.

                      For me midrange phones are the best. Not very powerful but fast enough with good camera and good screen. And much longer battery life than any flagship. But low end ones are weak and slow. So midrange is really good.

                                    I'm from Europe and here only poor people bought that dead spying brand - whoawei. Everyone else is using Samsung or Apple. EVERYONE.
                                    Personally, I wouldn't use a chinese brand even if you'd give it to me for free and pay me daily. I'd rather have the original, not the wannabe replica.
                                    Also, software is the most important thing in a smartphone. That's why they're called SMARTphones. If you don't have Google service on your phone, it's a DUMBphone. Who needs that except for grannies and tech illiterates?

                                        People have stopped buying phones for the features and technological advancementa for almost a decade now. Phones aren't tools, nor are they a geek's gadgets. They're status symbols.

                                        As such, neither the camera nor the cpu, or anything else matters. Just a clear differentiation from model to model, so that vapid empty husks of people can hold their newest piece of crap and everybody recognizes it.
