RE: Buying a bottom of the line phone was a mistake

I feel those phones are more focused at the less fortunate, and especially the elderly. I was like you in discovering that they're actually a thing still, and that was when I travelled out of Europe and started to notice the income differences. I looked around and started seeing those phones more and more, mostly in the hands of the elderly that just needed something that can accept and make calls every now and then.

I do think once this phone kicks the bucket I might actually upgrade a little. I don't care for phones with "good" cameras since I use an actual camera for everything photography. The main thing for me is battery life and storage, since app bloat is massive these days. And longevity in the battery means it'll hopefully last years. 128GB these days just doesn't cut it.
