Honestly speaking, not everyone can afford a thousand dollar smartphone and not everyone needs all the features or gimmicks on a phone. Some people just need a phone that can get through the day, do tasks, and not hurt their wallets. I commend/applaud KZbinrs who review budget and mid-range phones because not everyone has the luxury to afford flagships.

I can afford to buy a $1000 smartphone, but there's no way in hell I'm buying a $1000 smartphone in 2019. There are so many great affordable smartphones starting at $200 that have so many features and most importantly, they all make great phone calls. None of these "new tech" in smartphones is worth the over $1000 price tag.

[@euphoricstyles536]

Surprise surprise! Economics class! If everyone could afford flagships for everything we'd all be flying the best personal jets, helicopters, onto the world's bestest production yachts, with the quietest submarines to dig for treasure at the bottom of the Mariana trench only because grandma lost some jewelry from the titanic after losing her v-card in a CAR inside a cruise ship. Then after finding her v-card memoirs we'd send it to Mars, because grandma gave that SpaceX engineer some throat, while her dentures rubbed his balls. Meanwhile some Ring webcam was being hacked and the link was sent to the emergency broadcast system. Because Ring is the new flagship of selfies.

Not really, they do recommend phones for “most ppl” tho, there’s just more hype around the flagships, and it’s gotten out of control, let’s also keep in mind that ppl who buy one thousand dollar phones are the same demographic that either have cash laying around their house or won’t be upgrading anytime soon. Most ppl don't buy 1K phones straight upfront, you have to remember that alot of ppl take advantage of the yearly upgrade program with their carriers where you can buy it but pay for them monthly
