Dropping $1000 on a flagship is just paying for a premium surveillance kit. Ultra cheap phones are actually better for privacy precisely because they’re underpowered, sensor-starved pieces of junk, they literally lack the silicon to run the relentless, background AI scraping that Apple and Google rely on. Less tech, less tracking. Why is nobody talking about this?
>>109367291People do use those phones. What do you expect from a tech enthusiast website??Motorola (Lenovo) has dominated the low end in the US for a few years now. Multiple carriers offer rebrands of overseas devices. It's just the average user of such devices are NOT going to be posting here.
>>109367291I'm a poor fag and I have an Honor 400 that I am very happy with it. I don't see a point in spending a lot of money for a phone because things you can do with a phone are very limited and 300$ phone can do everything 1000$ phone can but 300$ computer can't do everything 1000$ computer can.
>>109367478>Motorola (Lenovo) has dominated the low end in the US for a few years now. Multiple carriers offer rebrands of overseas devices.I have been using motorolas for nearly a decade now, and they're still one of the best budget brands you can get. It's ridiculous how much you can get for $100 when they're on sale. You can pretty much do anything on it except gaming.It kinda sucks that some of them has a shitload of malware and bloat though. Bought one of them for my dad and had to spend half an hour just getting rid of it, and god knows if I've gotten rid of it all.>>109367608>I don't see a point in spending a lot of money for a phoneIt's pretty much the modern watch and how to show people that you have money.
The processors are too weak to run background telemetry scripts without crashing.cheap phones are better than graphene os. Exactly because they have no high-end chips.
>>109367291they’re ugly. look at that stupid water drop notch and the giant chin. at least they should get rid of all pretense of an all screen display and put an equivalent bezel at the top, eliminating that stupid ugly notch, and adding a speaker up there. stupid ass designers. they should be shot.
>>109369084>how to show people that you have money.I can understand that with mechanical watches, but for tech such as phones and smart watches, all that shits just looks the same, especially for flagship iphones, and Iphones haven't really been a show of wealth for a long time now, most people I see just them are more poorer than your average McDonalds employees who are struggling to pay it off.

glad the budget phone market is crashing.
>>109367291My phone is basically just a portable browser with a messenger built in, I have no idea why anyone would pay hundreds of bucks for a phone and I dread having to replace mine that I've been using since 2019
>>109367291Because there is nothing to talk about. Those of us who knows already knows. We don't have to explain it to the cattle.
>>109367291You ain't getting no privacy with those Unisocs and proprietary blobs
>>109370851why dread about it? unless you were buying phones under fifty bucks or something anyone can pick up a refurbished iphone 14 or something for a not bad price. it’s why I think this >>109370620is happening
