I know I have small hands but c’mon. Flagship phones these days are strait up small tablets, not even what we’d have called on phablets 15 years ago.

I know it’s what people buy, but I’m still sad that if I want a phone that small then I have to deal with camera and display a couple gens old

      My main reason to get a new phone the last 20 years have been “oh shit, phone’s broken, I need a phone”

      But I understand people who buy from shit companies with shit support and 5 days of updates. They didn’t take updates into account and suddenly they find themselves vulnerable…

      But flagship phones? GTFO! There’s an order to what stuff should cost ie. a home > a car > a months rent/mortgage > a months groceries > a phone

      When phones jumped groceries I shook my head, and now where flagship phones are in the rent/beater car territory… Wtf?!? How are people getting this kind of spending money?

      Or, alternatively, my phone needs replaced and I buy a flagship because they have much better cameras, I take a lot of photos and don’t want to carry a second device. I also intend to keep it until it’s unusable. Sent from my 5 year old flagship absolutely nobody thinks is a fancy phone and I doubt ever did.

      Because they have better camera sensors and optics by far, and I take a lot of photos.
      A few gens was being generous

      Why would what people think of you factor into this at all? Who gives a fuck what phone people have?
