But when I do buy a new one, it probably will not be Sony. It definitely won't be Apple or Samsung. Today you can get a cheap Chinese clone for a quarter of the price. Those might be a bit worse, but as long as they run simple utility apps (banking, parking, youtube...) they are good enough. My wife just got one for €100 and it is definitely acceptable and fully functional.

i'm pretty impressed with the premium chinese phones.. i have a one plus one as secondary phone and its great. My 16gb version was 300 dollars a year ago but you can get the 64gb version for that price now.. i also had a few cheaper chinese ones, they were good, much better then what samsung and co offer as budget range.. Specs are like twice better.. i would definitely go with a Chinese phone again next time when i replace my secondary phone.

Which is weird, cuz when I was teaching in China more than half of my students had i-phones and that's all would talk about in their presentations. I think there were one or two who would proudly mention they have a chinese phone, but that was it.
