Phones are cheaper now, it seems to me, other than the flagships which are an exercise in pushing the frontier of what people are willing to pay.

Not really. A mid range phone is now easily $400-500 or more; that used to be the price range for flagships not that long ago.

I just bought a Moto G Stylus 5G 2023, $250 new, I'd consider it a midrange phone (top of Moto's budget line). Entry level would be the G Play which is $100 new. $500 to me would be a premium phone and $1000 is a flagship. My previous phone was a Moto G4 from around 2017. It was around $170 new and was positioned a little bit above where the G Play is now.

This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.
