My mid-range smartphone from 2022 has 8gb of ram. I paid $250 for it brand new.

Do you have a Kimovil link for this incredible phone?

Poco x3 pro 8/256, and it have 3.5 jack and microsd slot, i still using one, in fact I'm writing from it right now

Yeah, my (sigh) "Motorola Moto G Stylus 5G 2023" has 8GB. And the 3.5 jack. And an actual fingerprint sensor. And I spent $160, although I bought it used.

Why sigh tho) i always saying that obscure devices have the best peripheral support, no need to buy popular devices because they often skimp on peripherals and overpriced, be proud my man) you have good phone for good money after all

[–] ripcord@lemmy.world 6 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Sigh was because I was about to type out that stupid-ass name :)

I like the phone a lot.

[–] PraiseTheSoup@lemm.ee 2 points 7 months ago

That is the phone I was originally referring to, except mine in the 2022 version. And I understand the sigh. I do it every time someone asks me what kind of phone I have.

Listed at $322 currently, meaning you bought it half price or less in ‘22. Good purchase!

Don't forget 120Hz screen. The phone has a great value. I paid mine €290 two years ago and I am not replacing it any time soon.

Even more, kernel source code is available and xda-developers community on device is active, unofficial support gonna be really long term, since 2 years of usage i just swapped battery on mine once, it's truly a long lived phone
