That doesn't account for the people who like the SE for it's size/weight primarily. The fact that it's much cheaper than the new giant phones is a nice bonus. It also doesn't take into account people who may be budg

It's hard to have much sympathy when you know that this was written by the marketing department of a company with a $30bn market cap. This looks to me like a blatant attempt to latch on to a perceived popular sentiment that Spotify thi
