I used to get the flagship phones just simply because I could. My parents were still footing the bill so it was never a problem. Turns out I don't really use that many resources on my phone. I browse reddit, take the occasional pic, watch youtube, and maybe play low resource games maybe once a week. My phone is 95% an internet machine. It also turns out flagship phones are expensive as hell when you are buying it yourself. I bought myself a $250 moto g7 power. My Nexus 6p broke at an inopportune time and a flagship wasn't going to fit my budget. It doesn't play 1080p video but the different is almost negligible on a small screen. The camera is decent and internet resources load just as quick as anything else. The massive battery is a really nice feature and will definitely be something I will put on my need list for when I'm looking for my next phone.
