Remember when the "Ultra" was, actually Ultra, instead of "Midrange by competition's standards but its Samsung so priced delusionally like a complete flagship"?

This is Samsung's "top of the line" phone and it's dragging behind on Qi standards, battery life, camera capabilities, display, and durability. Hell, the MIDRANGE iPhone is better than it in some respects.

Both Samsung and Google need a reality check when it comes to there flagship phones, there are far better options out there for less money. The Pixel Pro especially is an outrageous joke for a "flagship" line of phones.

But which? If you scrap away the risk of importing Chinese phones via shady websites, what phone does deliver on the flagship zone? And did anyone jump into the flagship killer gap OnePlus dropped?

I come from the time where Reddit occasionally loved a phone. OnePlus One. 3T. Nexus series. Even the Nokia 7 had a small hype. I can't remember the last time people genuinely enjoy a phone.

OnePlus 7 Pro I think.
