There are minor Android players who seem to be standing their ground, so something has to be different here. Nothing, Xiaomi/Redmi, Motorola
> minor Android players ... Xiaomi Xiaomi appears to be the 3rd largest smartphone manufacturer in the world (behind Samsung and Apple). Not sure I'd call them a "minor player"

I met someone who told me they flew domestically with a licensed hunting rifle in NZ about 10 years ago and they were told to open carry the rifle onto the plane where the flight attendant locked it up. Unrelated but Finnair's requirements for flying with doctoral swords are wonderful.
Big city or small town flight? Like anywhere, density changes everything. Certainly Auckland and Christchurch and Wellington have proper security procedures and facilities.

Nah the hardware is still crap. CPU performance that's genuinely like two generations behind being sold as a flagship somehow.
I always wonder what people who say things like this are doing with their phones. Two generations of phones ago, these performance parameters were fine. What software has come out on Android phones since then that's made that performance level unacceptable?
Dropped animations, slow downs in the summer due to heat, poor battery life because it has to use boost, and so on. You don't have to game to notice it.

Is two generations ago before 2020? Everything is 100% more expensive than pre-2020 prices. Eating out is there. Power Tools are there. Land is beyond that and Housing has been there for 6 years now. I'm not surprised. The March of inflation has been a wreckening this decade.

How the hell else do you arrange a contract? Lawyers at 10 paces? What's so corrupt about directly communicating with someone gain agreement? This is confusing.
What's so corrupt a politician calling a friend to order him a new plane using taxpayers money?
