I mean you could describe basically every phone as this. iPhone is “just a regular phone with a locked down OS”, foldables are “just regular phones with a flexible screen”. Different people have different design sensibilities, to some this might be ideal.
Yup. My last 2x phones were older models of Oneplus phones. Oneplus’ drawcards back in the day were quality for the price and a well-designed, highly functional Android variant. The buyout by OPPO changed that. I found myself updating the OS and downgrading due to poor design/functionality, upgrading the phone and palming it off to my SO (iOS is a no-go for me, I am not about that). When I saw Nothing OS 2 I ordered one because I was impressed by the design. I am entirely aware of the fact that my requirements for a phone are different to others. /shrug
