Distinctions
gollark: Oh, and micro-SD card slots and removable batteries are basically nonexistent.
gollark: Also, phones apparently cost over £1000 now sometimes and people are used to it?
gollark: Flashy features like higher-res screens (and higher refresh rate) are pretty much useless to me and drain more battery.
gollark: I agree.
gollark: Personally, I'm pretty dissatisfied with the state of the phone market, since user control is being taken away constantly because "sEcUriTy", the lack of standardization on ARM and monolithic design of Android makes actually getting updates after a while unlikely, and I don't like the "entire front is screen except there's randomly a bit missing for a camera" aesthetic which is a thing now, or the fact that battery life is somehow stagnant despite increasingly good battery tech.
