Especially outside the flagship market, "shanzhai" is enough. I bought a $250 Motorola (G Stylus 2024 model) I wasn't looking for unique and breakthrough experiences. I just wanted good-enough screen/camera/battery life/performance, which can be presumably be produced from a wide assortment of more-or-less off-the-shelf parts.

I am annoyed at the software degradation though. I don't appreciate the repeated unskippable prompts to set up Glance. I feel like when I bought the Ultimate Shanzhai Experience (a Umidigi F1 Play back in the Android 9 days), they didn't pull noxious bait-and-switch software tricks.

Ultimate Shanzhai Experience sounds like a great title for a game
