This is how products get better. Small changes that seem less relevant to people with low product interest.
Meanwhile these features stack year on year til you have vastly better products over time.
This improvement isn't marketing departments. They might spin the improvements to stories and messages but the changes come as continual engeneering improvement in products. Go see a 15 year old phone and imagine we'd stopped adding little improvements there vs today's phones. They work but they are clearly inferior products.
- abeyer 6y agoIf by "get better" you mean get to the insane situation where you can reasonably describe a $700 phone as a "downmarket" "mid-range" device, then, yeah maybe.
- damnencryption 6y agoI agree with you but in one plus's example, the two of the 4 cameras were completely useless. You should look up their reviews. The camera app didn't switch to the macro camera automatically like in previous phones which means they were aware that the cameras were bad enough to be useless. Small convenience at the cost of bigger cut offs isn't practical in a budget phone. Wireless charging is not useful to people looking for a budget phone. Good wireless chargers cost money with very little convenience. They are slower than traditional fast chargers by 3-4x.
