        The question still remains as to how much you use the cable and how large is the data you move with it where it matters the higher transfer speed. 2.0 is already good enough for small files and dont have much difference in small data. Win few seconds.

        But i understand you when i have 2 USB sticks where one is 128GB (actually 117GB) 2.0 stick where i moved 90GB worth of video and stick it behind my TV and it took like 3- hours to transfer all that data.

        While i also have USB 3.2 256GB SSD stick and that 90GB was like 10-15 minutes. And i filled 190GB of the stick in around 40 minutes in total.

        But i dont see a point for that speed in a phone when i never move large data with cable and the progress to set the cable in and connect it with pc takes time anyways and will be a task to do

            hev.c, 22 Mar 2025the bezels 💀That's okay, it's not a flagship phone. And not everyone is after the slimmest bezels. Some are fine with thick. At least they are symmetrical

Also, refurbished iPhone 14/15 series or Samsung S23/S24 (assuming you're getting the Snapdragon variant) are better than these PoS.

                    > a more premium build
                    LMFAO. iPhone, premium build? Biggest joke I've ever heard.

                      hev.c, 22 Mar 2025120Hz to 60Hz is another downgrade Also a bit offtopic, ... moreHow many times you actually have ever connected cable to your phone and moved files from or to phone from a computer. If that happens once or twice in the phone life time then that is already a good amount. I have not use the cable to move files with my phone i have now for 2 years even one time. With my last phone is had SD card so i didnt need to move files with a cable even once in 5 years of using the phone

                            16a have better build materials or more premium materials as metal and glass. Build quality means how well the phone is built. Built as it wont fall apart in a month or when dropped wont be in million pieces. Build quality is like when you compare watches like Rolex that is basically hand built and compare it with Chinese fake that is mass produced

Never mind that it's not 500 more but only 200-300 more cause 500 for what Google ask for the 9a is crazy expensive. At best the price should be 350 with these specs it offers.

                                500 dollars is a price of a top end middle class as it's already in a range to get 1 year old flagship from Samsung or Apple.
