Yes it's very budget, NOT! It's simply can't compete at this price with any Android upper midranger that would run rings around it. And even for the Isheep of the world why would they buy it, given such a small price differentiation with newer models? To sum up its overpriced and not unique or interesting in any way. In other words DOA.

    2 years ago, iPhone may be superior than Android.

    But these days they make a half baked product, also:
    crippled Apple Intelligence (literally crippled)
    no increasing software support
    having an Android midrange features
    lack of official store in developing countries
    Mediocre photo quality/features
    chipset with lower benchmark score than Samsung flagship
    faster decreasjng price aftersale

    Just like what most Apple fans said in macforums, there is now less and less reasons to buy iPhone.

    Some people might say Samsung sell best phone this year, but it is actually all the competitor (US and Chinese brand) that choose to sell mediocre phone compared to Samsung.

                            The "e" stands for excrement. Which is what this phone is.

                                  Love it. I need this kind of phone. Compact and no thick camera bump.

                                    Just get a used iPhone 13 for half the price

                                      '"e" for "economical"? Perhaps, although as usual the EU is getting the bitter end of the pricing stick.'

                                      Vlad, the pricing is almost the same in the EU and the US. EU pricing is always stated including VAT which varies slightly from country to country averages around 20% in the EU.

                                      US prices are before sales tax.

                                      The price in Europe before VAT would be around €582 which is around the same pricing as in the US
