i had a redmi note 13 pro+ and it was definitely the closest you're going to for mid-tier price that's competitive with flagship tier specs; especially w the camera, screen and battery.

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.

it's definitely capitalism since government intervention is not what banned the phones. the american carriers themselves colluded with each other to block the phones on their networks so it's the worst form of capitalism; it's monopoly capitalism and exactly like the type of capitalism that the american robber barons employed during the gilded age.

there's no need for the state to intervene and americans are too unaware that this happened for there to ever be a push to reject it; like with almost everything else.
