What kind of features do flagship phones have that are worth spending over $700 instead of $200-300 for a mid-range phone?

Genuinely curious here.

A decent camera

A battery you cant replace.

With the $400 you save you can get a DSLR that will beat the shit out of any smartphone camera

>>60035460
Gyroscope, for instance, Moto G5 does not have one.

No shit fucko. I have a D750, and while it's a fucking powerhouse of a camera it also weighs a ton (and with the 24-300mm I keep on it it's also bulky as fuck). It outclasses my phone in every single metric except that it doesn't slip into my pocket. I don't need DSLR quality photos from a phone, but I would like for the snapshits I take to not look like hot garbage.

That's also cumbersome to carry, maintain, use not to mention a massive learning curve attached to it.

Do you also happen to lug around an audiophile grade audio setup with a car battery to power it as a replacement for your chink phone dac/audio player?

The Google Pixel Plus IMO, after owning a nexus 6 for over a year and a half I am very impressed with their implementation of Android as well as the hardware they provided at the time.

The only only bad things I can say about it is, the updates-(way too many imo), and the providers you have to choose from. Personally Ting has worked out for me, averaging in at 40 bucks a month.

Better screen (samsung's oled), that's basically it.

Indeed it is, but don't pretend that you're serious about photography if you don't bother with investing in proper photography

Definitely not fucking DSLRs you cumguzzling retard.
>>
>>60035460
Better screen, better camera, better sensors, better performance.

Apart from all that? Same shit.

>>60035646
Object that are still bigger and heavier than most of current smartphone on the market
>>
>>60035460
Flagship processors vs mid range
Larger community NOT full of pajeet
Developer support

It's up to you really. I would rather spend say $750 every two years than $350 every year. Hell some people send $200 and use it for years.

For something that I almost have with me 24/7 I wouldn't spending extra.

U wot m8, a $350 phone today will last at least 3 years, the Snapdragon 625 is basically as good at the 801 with much better energy efficiency

I got a moto g4 plus which I like very much, especially for the price I got it for. But comparing it with my gfs lg g5 it's no comparison. Just scrolling a website is laggy on my android and smooth as butter on hers.

Inferior to my d750 in nearly every metric other than size. The only camera that I'd be willing to upgrade to would be the Sony A9, which: isn't out yet, and: costs $4,500 for the body.

IR blaster.

Removed aux port.

I won't be buying any of these budget phones for $200-$300 until they start putting at least 1440p panels in them. When I can buy used note 4s, g3s, and Moto x pures for far less, they can go fuck themselves and their 'budget' products.
