I think flagship smartphones are a bit overrated, and a good mid-range phone can do everything most people need. At least in my case, the usage scenario is as simple as it gets: browsing apps, watching videos, listening to music, chatting in messengers. I don't play heavy games, I don't do mobile photography or video shooting… All in all, I don't see any scenarios where my Realme 10 Pro, bought in 2021 and running on a Snapdragon 695, wouldn't be enough 🙂
And I used to be really into smartphones and other tech back in the day, watching reviews and all that. But after using my current device, I realized just how unnecessary anything beyond it would be. In a way, it feels like mobile technology has almost reached its peak — do you ever get that feeling?
