Just bougt htat chinkware going from a s10 to it and how the fuck is it so cheap? for 40$ more id have 12gb ram and 512 rom
8 year old kids make them in factories and the company sells your data
>>100144130>Value gained from selling your data>Value gained from packaging bloatware/adware/spyware>Value gained from increasing the general attack surface of the population>Value gained from increasing the power of advertising>Value gained from being paid off by governments to include backdoors>Value gained from introducing another planned obsolescence device and ensuring that they have a new customer X years down the roadThere's a lot of hidden costs you're paying for this crap.
>>100144130>rom
>>100144130can you install lineage on it? seems quite good, but I really hate miui
>>100144130They're subsidized by the Chinese government to defeat their comptetion. Apple has fallen significantly in China because of this, and Chinese phones are also increasing in sales overseas.
>>100144453>inb4 they just make it as expensive as everything else once theyre big enough
>>100144526That's probably their plan, worked for Motorola.
>>100144130Capitalism and scaling economy.
>>100144453>They're subsidized by the Chinese governmentWasn't that Huawei?
>>100144526that's basically what OnePlus did kek
>>100144575All Chinese exports are subsidized. At the very least transportation costs are heavily discounted for all manufacturers, and in the case of large brands, they get special deals with their government.
>>100144213woah, I dont want to buy one now. This was a good postbut isn't this true for every phone on the market?
>>100146112yeah but it's only bad when china does it.
>>100146138oh right, the western chudcels #1 rule
>>100144130Xiaomi is garbageI fell for the meme and the camera is 2013 tier. I fucking want to kms. Also utter shit software.
>>100144162>>100144213Playing clean when your fucking westoid govt has done the same things in the past to other people. Kys. >>100146138Sums up the modern "hooman rights" niggers.
>>100146308It's still bad? >>100144162 Didn't say the west is on the right? Consoomers are enabling it so the blame falls on everyone, maybe even specifically on the west because they are the ones that normalized buying new shit even when what they own works.
>>100144130>Thinly veiled POCO advertisement thread.
>>100144213Every modern phone sells your data and has bloatware, I'd rather pay 180 for a Xiaomi than 1800 for an apple phone
i'm not buying a chinese phone. when i get blackmailed with pictures of my face mid jerk, i'd rather it be by domestic intelligence agencies rather than a foreign one. that way it'll be for my country's interest rather than china's
>>100146441>my country's interesti didn't know you were from israel anon.
>>100146441just install a custom rom you retard
>>100146424So do that then
>>100144213If you think any american, korean, japanese or whatever phones doesn't do all that since you paid more money, you are genuinely retarded.Your smartphone is the definition of surveillance consumer device, no matter the price.
>>100144130>Is this the power of childlaborNo or Africa would be the ones doing it. It's capital intensive>>100144676It's almost like if you reject the Washington Consensus manufacturing stuff becomes a lot easier
>>100144213>installs grapheneOS>all of these points made irrelevant
>>100146643>Casually ignores the bare basic fact that Graphene is a giant backdoored honeypot itself.
>>100146643If the backdoors are baked into the chipset then the OS is irrelevant.
>>100146643>wifi breaks>bluetooth breaks>GPS breaks>crashes when it gets a phone call
>>100144130I know that this is a dedicated political shitflinging thread but in case anyone wants a real answer it's quite simple: Ads and corners cut whenever possible.The software is jank and they've had models where the phone just goes kaput after a year of use.
>>100144130I have The Poco X6 5G I can easily tell how much Samsung put more RnD compared to Poco shitother than the adware that's been plaguing Xiaomi since beginning, most of their advertised features simply doens't work.the adaptive refresh rate keeps topping at 120hz so I end up switch it off to 60hz If I want a usable battery for a daythe battery charge limiter and wireless display cast also don't workthe build also feels like a toy compared to my previous Samsung S10+ plus, but it's only half the price so I won't complainall in all the features are only good on their promotion specs, I plan to flash Lineage next, once it's available
>>100147903Hold your horses, SAMSUNG is know for their shitty software that makes even 300$ phones lag lmao. I know this, the phones I had had literally micro lags. Also I bought a s9 that phone is nearly useless now, lags, even when you factory reset it. Im just gonna say that even if you buy a 800$ phone from Samsung, that bitch's performance is still down the drain 4-5 years later. Again, Samsung phones ui fucking lag lmao.
>>100144213so just use a custom rom and thats it?
