This feels like the correct answer.

Motorola and a couple others feel like at least they haven't jumped on the "let's charge them whatever the hell we can get away with" train. They're still relatively inexpensive and are essentially just as capable and nice as the Samsungs and the Apples of the world. Hell, I get far more comments on my Motorola Edge 2023 with it's textured faux leather back than others get with the latest Sammy or Apple identical square.

It feels like these smaller producers are able to take a few more risks in design.

Don’t you only get three years of security updates with that phone?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Sadly yes. That's the drawback. But its balanced by the fact that its pretty easy to find good custom ROMs after it ends its software lifespan

[–] FarraigePlaisteach 1 points 3 months ago

Oh, that changes things, yes. Good point. I would need those custom ROMs to be keeping up with security updates, though.

I have the same phone, but don't really have any clue what any of this means. If you're up for it I wouldn't mind an ELI5 on this so that I have at least an idea of what it means or what to look up. If you're not up for the ELI5 I still appreciate what you put out there
