You can't trade in your phone, pay $300 bucks and get the latest flagship anymore. Also, I'm part of the 2016 wave of phone buyers. Went from iPhone 6 plus, to Galaxy Note 7. I still wanted to give Samsung a chance with better screens, wireless charging so I settled with a Galaxy S7 edge. I never knew what phone lag was like until this phone. I'm still on Android 7.0 and 9 is about to be unveiled. I have to write my Android apps twice, the first with 7.0+ where I can use Java 8 features, and then another version for pre 7.0 devices due to fragmentation. I'm not going to tolerate a substandard processor, Snapdragon 845, while the rest of the world gets the Exynos 9810 that's actually in the ball park with the A11 bionic. It's all a mess. Going back to Apple that may be locked down, but has a consistant user experience.
