You may not have heard of Chinese firm Transsion – but it is currently dominating the mobile phone market in Africa and the Middle East with three brands that have never been sold in China.
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 $500 iphone.
Of course they do, they don’t charge you 400$/€ just for slapping their brands on the device

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.
