Remarks
  1. Dimitris Manganas replaced Denmark's Jacob Carstensen, who withdrew from the B-final
gollark: I don't think it's a necessary tradeoff. They're just doing it anyway.
gollark: The newer ones are basically just ekeing out incredibly marginal improvements and charging more.
gollark: It's cheap and basically works?
gollark: They use UFS or something now.
gollark: And even my bad phone has GPS accuracy to within a few metres, as far as I can tell.
