They all realized a $100 phone does the same shit as a $1500 phone... There is nothing they add to the expensive phones that justify the price
A $200 smartphone does the same, but the article is about feature phones.
Hell, with all of the features that are being removed these days, there's no justification for the price.
Now that LG is out of the market, I had to get a Nokia smartphone just to get an external microSD card slot and aux port.
$1000+ phone with capped internal memory for the purpose of pushing subscription cloud storage? Or a $300 phone with expandable physical storage?
It's more about wanting to take a break from looking at a screen and watching shitty ads for so many hours per day.
