In this post, I hope to clarify and expand on some of the points and rebut some of the counter-messaging that we have witnessed.

Name one that is:

  1. ready for prime-time use

  2. is priced reasonably

  3. has features commensurate to this year's top-tier phone specs?

[–] Lem453@lemmy.ca 4 points 3 weeks ago

Its literally not possible to have a top tier phone unless the company can pre order like 10m chips directly from TSMC. No small company will ever be able to do this.

If you want a top tier phone from a non mega corp you will never get a phone. You have to chose some sacrifice for freedom or stick to the mega corps that will always seem to control you
