Yeah, so did I. I’ve got a Fairphone 4 which has midrange specs and a flagship price. But that wasn’t my point; the article is wrong, the specs are not flagship territory.
Paying more for less is stupid, but paying more for things that others don’t value so highly (e.g. a headphone jack, privacy, ethical production, durability, etc.) is actually smarter than buying the popular thing.
OnePlus and Vivo benefit from economies of scale. If you’re like me you often end up paying more for less. As stupid as it may sound.

I was specifically addressing your comments about the pricing.
