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.

Camera. Phones are the best way to capture those missable pet and loved ones moments that you don't want to lose, and flagships generally have the best cameras.

I don't usually buy new flagship, I'll wait a couple generations and get them at deeply discounted prices, or buy refurb however.

Only exception to that was this last time - as soon as the RAM crisis started and SSDs started to follow, I got a new flagship for me and my spouse, because I know that it will be years before they're either affordable again or with the same amount of on-device RAM/storage. Both our devices would probably have lasted another 2-3 years fine, but even back then I suspected we wouldn't be out of the woods by then (looks even worse than I thought) and an accidental break would be even worse.

Now we have our last, working phones as backups if these break. Hopefully things will shake out ok before we need new ones.
