This is not the phone for phone enthusiasts who wants the best everything. But this is the phone for the average joe who asks the tech enthusiast.
Having a phone that's they won't need to change for >5 years can be a nice thing. My parents refuse to switch from their mi mix 2 because it still runs well (except for the battery) and they dread transferring datas
And let's hope they scale up slowly, their reports show that their profit margin is extremely slim despite them pricing their phones quite a bit higher than other brands. Meaning if they're to compete for price they won't make a profit
It's nice that they finally establish a communication line with Qualcomm though
