    It is insane to me that phones >$400 are so normalized. I remember a friend saying they got their iphone very cheap at like $500 and i am like 😐, my xiaomi phone was $120ish and does more stuff than the $500 iphone.

      yeah, i bought a xiaomi after my previous samsung’s battery bloated to three times its size in like 2 years of use…

      also the sound quality of that samsung was absolute shit. just completely broken tinpot sound right from the start. i got it brand new too.

      anyway, this xiaomi is great so far. that is, it’s only as shitty as android and a touchscreen make it, and no more.
