I thought there were only 2 brands

[-] ripcord@kbin.social 7 points 1 year ago

I bet most people can name 6 or do.

But that's about it.

For most people in the US at least they can only identify iPhone or non-iPhone.

I just asked my iphone-hqving mom who knows nothing about tech and she named 5.

I mean, anyone who has a "non-iohone" would be able to at least name the non-iohone(s) they have had. Including phone brands from before iphones that they may guess are still around.

Anyone paying for flagship phones has too much money and no need for a camera that great.

Blu and Moto phones all the way.

Moto?

Motorola lost my business when they sold me a phone and then provided a grand total of ONE OS upgrade its entire life (Moto G LTE, shipped with an outdated 4.4 build, and then got a single update to 5.1 before being abandoned forever).

There is no potential for brand loyalty when the brand themselves tell their own customers to fuck off.

No idea why you're being downvoted but I agree. My non flagship android is more than adequate for my demands of it.

[-] waterbogan@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Yeah I have a midrange Samsung A31, its more than adequate for my needs

The difference between users on whatever instance you're on lol. I'm showing myself at 8 and 0 in Kbin.
