And I'm not picking on Apple, Samsung are not far behind, and LG. I cannot believe the low amount of memory these devices come with as standard. The standard capacity hasn't moved in years. Memory is dirt cheep. And then you have to go out and buy a memory card after the hundreds and hundreds of euros you've already departed with.Imagine the laptop one could buy for €700 to €1000. Oh but you can't take selfies with those bulky things. The difference from one model to another these days are minimal. The next model might be millimetres thinner but because it's so expensive , you have to buy a case to protect it, which makes it much thicker than it was in the first place. I have a 2 year old €99 smart-phone and the only thing that it lacks is a good camera. It runs all my apps perfectly fine. I think smart-phones have become vanity devices. Expensive little vanity project if you ask me.

A decent camera is pretty essential to many people, if your phones's one is ****e then budget 300 for a stand alone, defeats the purpose really. Except it doesnt really.

For now I find the iPhone a really solid device. I do respect what Oneplus are doing though. Great devices. What are you talking about? Its the higest benchmarked phone of 2016, beats the Samsung S7, LG G5, HTC 10 & iPhone 7 hands down performance wise.

But I do have a little niggling issue when said people try to justify spending that much. You know the usual spiel, "but it's high quality" .. "cheaper phones are rubbish!" yadda yadda :pac:
