Ah, I see! Yes, there's that also. However, there's something strangely exciting about coping with a flickering screen for months, to turn your phone on one day to find it fixed - mainstream options tend to degrade over time instead! I'd say as a rough estimate that the PinePhone is about 95% there compared to a comparably-priced Android phone by this point.
