With flagship smartphone prices skyrocketing, it's hard to treat yourself without breaking the bank. Yet, recent models under €500 promise performance worthy of market leaders. Are these compromises truly worth it, or is it just clever marketing to sneak limitations past us? Those of you keeping up with trends—do you see this as a real revolution or just a case of tech greenwashing? Personally, I'm testing open-source alternatives to see where they take me.
Do you get good value from flagship phones at smart prices in 2024?

I'm definitely staying a noob as long as I don't blow my €500 flagship dreams on dinner 😅 I'm the kind of guy who spends €500 on dinner and still says 'but the S23 Ultra...' Am I just another victim of the 'flagship soup' phenomenon?
Perso, I tested the Poco F5 on sale for €350 last year: Snapdragon 7+ Gen 2 performance, 120Hz display—hardware-wise, no complaints. However, the camera struggles in low light. For a first mini-program project, it’s more than enough!
