    I don’t know about more affordable. I’ve paid around the same price for like 15 years and while cheap smartphones used to be total shit now even the cheaper ones do a fine job. I think the price on “adequate” stuff has gone down but the upper tiers have just gotten more expensive.

      Yea people forget you don’t have to buy the latest more expensive phone. I have a nord, about 300 to 400 bucks. It’s great. My mom has the latest Samsung, paid a grand and she doesn’t use 90 percent of the features. It’s ridiculous.

          I got a Pixel 6pro for €280 the year before. That will be fine for many years to come.

          I stopped buying flagship phones when they went above €500 or so. And these days I wonder why I ever wanted them.
