Seriously dude yourself.

Not all consumers live in a place where salaries are high and electronics are cheap.

Just out of curiosity...

Out of all the places where this impossible combination is somehow the case... do you know of any that have attractive rent options and cheap inbound flights? xD

The United States
3GB RAM, 2.7GHz quad core cpu/1.9GHzX4 + 1.3GHzX4 (oct core). This device is more powerful than my current phone.
Yep, 3GB RAM, but Chrome eats most of that and it swaps pretty much the entire time (yup, it has a 1GB swap partition, the poor flash)... and the CPU is a 32-bit Snapdragon 800 with 4 (symmetrical) cores at 2.2GHz. FWIW, I feel it.

Can't deny I boggle at current-day budget-level devices with 2GB RAM tho. Like, wat.

I did say old :D.

They were actually given to me by a friend who wasn't using them, who learned I didn't have a phone.

I probably used Android for a cumulative total of 20 minutes from 2006-2020 before this. EXTREMELY interested in the platform, absolutely (and came up with some ideas for apps), but yeah, wasn't really viable to pursue.

Here, have two LifeProTips:

1. Rewrite your DNA during conception to edit out all the weird obscure medical issues you might otherwise get lumped with

2. Ensure you quantum phase-shift when selecting the reality you're born into so you ensure you skip the world(s) with a broken medical systems that doesn't have fundamental interest in research and discovery

Alternatively, spend nearly 30 years trying to get anyone at all to listen, without the resources to pay people to listen to you cuz you can't work.

(In all seriousness, the Note 3 takes 10 seconds to open a new tab. I'm absolutely looking forward to upgrading. But it'll be sad to stop using it.)
