Those who use flagship phones, do you actually utilize its full processing power? If not, what was the reason you spent that instead of a mid range phone (or even a budget phone)? (piefed.ca)

so yeah... idk why most people buy flagships phones only to open tiktok, facebook, etc.

I mean does anyone actually game on their phone regularly? Like an entire pubg mobile gaming session on it?

Or is it primarily a camera thing.

No.

Because there was an insane sale and the price was close enough to the midrange and budget models. I bought a Samsung Galaxy S23 for $450.

Or is it primarily a camera thing.

Yes. I bought the Samsung because I love their camera hardware (software, not so much). It also has emotional value to me, because my very first phone that I deliberately chose to buy was a Samsung Galaxy Note 9. Up to the S23, they were also incredibly easy to root using Magisk.

    Idk what Galaxy S flagships cost usually. Are they like in $800-1000 price range?

    I also prefer Samsungs, as they don't cut costs on components as much as everyone else, but my perspective on prices is completely warped due to buying them used.

    Have you used some guide or doc on applying Magisk to them? I passively wanted to root my devices, but haven't found something not reeking of SEO slop.

    Yes, I'd say it was around $1000.

    I only ever used the official Magisk guide: https://topjohnwu.github.io/Magisk/install.html
