For a device thats running an android app. Yeah ive bought plenty of game systems. It could be like a drone, or smart hvac control, drawing tablet, vr headset, 3d printer. There are so many expensive programmed electronics.
I don't know how you don't understand how this is different. You could literally buy a better phone that can run lots of other Android apps faster for $200.
Everything else you listed there has unique attributes, it's not just a crippled, crappy phone running a single app. A drone flies, a smart HVAC control....controls your HVAC... Do I have to continue?๐คฆโโ๏ธ
