The actual functional difference between a cheap "value" phone and a premium "flagship" phone has never been smaller than it is today. There was a time when you actually got different capabilities, actual real-world performance improvements, and longer battery life. Now the cheap phones sometimes offer BETTER features (notably, battery life) because they aren't running as much stupid bullshit that you don't want.
