Give them money reward the behaviour

Because of that I always bought Xiaomi.

I'm on the 9 pro, works perfectly well for everything.

Just hoping they won't enshittify themselves, or be caught in some USA / China gang war.

I refuse. Just got a Pixel 4 off eBay. If the battery's bad, I'll replace it.

My last phone I had for about 6 years before the battery became so bad it couldn't keep charge for more than a few hours and opening the camera had a 50% chance of just powering it off.

I'd have replaced the battery, but all apps and the web had become so bloated by then, that it was struggling to really run anything reliably, even without the battery issues.
