I wouldn't even care if the battery would only last 5 hours or so. I'm never away from a charger for long :) As for apps I'd be glad if telegram works, a browser and maybe some lemmy-app. But most of all: a good camera. I was already willing to step down to a pixel, but below that? Nah :( But yeah, I hear you. Yet, if the current ones are that shitty, why are they even sold? who would throw >2000 moneyz at such a phone? Just because?
That $2,200 phone is the Trump phone. Puresim. It's made "in the usa" with 10-year-old technology. And I guarantee you they paid to be on the top of that list..
Yeah just after posting I actually checked that one out and was like "ah yeah nope". Also the main components are still Chinese. And, no insult meant, I prefer Chinese over murican any time. I couldn't even name one american product that is awesome ("besides the war-machinery", he said sighingly), that others don't do better anyway.
But before buying this phone-thingy I'd carry around a laptop for chat.
