That’s actually kind of brilliant.

Until you get bugs like "3D games lag when in fast moving car due to constant cell handovers" and "4G doesn't work at the same time as playing a 1080p60 video, so netflix/youtube are broken unless on wifi".
Sure but the phones $80. Getting to that price point requires some compromises. You’d think they’d also set the baseband VM at highest QOS.
I'm currently using a Xiaomi Redmi Go that was a bit less than that and I think it's remarkable how few compromises it has.
That’s a fair compromise to make a smart phone more affordable.
