I’m finally okay with researching thinner phones, I feel like a modern phone has enough punch compared to just some years ago. Sure, a bigger battery would be nice, or a more effective CPU but it’s sincerely okay IMO.
Even mid-range smartphones have been “good enough” in the last ~5 years in terms of device performance.
Flagships used to be distinguished by camera quality, but this benefit is not as noticeable as it once was.
Yeah I put a margin there :-) mostly because some years ago you could get good midrange phones but there was a lot of crap around too. I changed my like 5-6 old mid range (good one) for a 2 yo “flagship killer” (so not really a flagship) for the camera (Leika vs cheap crap :-) and well it’s scrolling a bit more fluidly… Yeah that’s about it.
It has more storage, ram etc, it’s close to my daily PC driver…
Ball torture moved to the shaft.
Let’s see how well they drop test…
