i think it’s less about failing capitalism and more about eliminating competition for for high end smart phones since you can get iphone level quality phones at chinese prices.
my redmi was competitive with the $1k+ google pixel, but costed less than half; now it’s an expensive paperweight.
Yes, that’s pretty much what I meant. In theory, the best brands would rise to the top under capitalism. So the US brands have failed without state intervention.
Which model of redmi did you have? I currently use the Redmi Note 12. It’s… okay. I had a previous Xiaomi (can’t remember which model) that I thought was an excellent price for high quality.
Definitely Chinese phones have better specs for their prices, as compared to US/Korean brands. Still, I’m looking for that special deal of a mid-tier-priced phone with flagship specs. Considering getting the Oneplus 13.
