Cheaper phones are actually getting really good too though.
I have the OnePlus Nord N200 that was released in 2021 and i paid ~$250 for it. The Moto G 2024 actually has better benchmarks than my device does and it only costs like $130. It’s only slightly better, but it’s still better, and the device is three years newer. So if I were to buy that device, it would be more of a sidegrade.
Oh, I never use the default operating system. I pull it out of the box and power it on and go through what setup is required to get to the home screen, open settings, enable developer options, and enable USB debugging, and then immediately flash lineage OS onto it.
I don’t even buy a new phone unless it supports lineage OS because I have no desire to use default Android with Google apps and services on it.

Lenovo makes really shit phones though, and with potential spyware built in.
