> I tried a few Android cheap phones recently IMO that's the big 'problem' with Android - any fly by night company can make a phone with it, which sours those people on Android as a whole and rightfully so. They may not understand that it's not Android itself that is awful, but the low spec'd phone or 'enhancements' some company added. Higher end Android phones generally don't have any of these problems at all. I can't even remember the last time mine had something crash or had to restart. I generally stick to high end Moto, Pixel, or Oneplus(current). Some people like Samsung but their skin/os is too heavy handed for me.

It's a problem that 95% of the world can afford to purchase a smartphone with a modern OS?

  That's why "problem" is in quotes. It's a self-inflicted and purposeful problem that trades a unified perception of Android through flagship devices for broad reach.

  Disgusting. The EU asap needs to pass some law or something to force the monopolists to fix that.

The problem is that 2GB is considered low spec in the first place. Force phone devs to use worse phones.
