It has a (smaller) european part.

Well these are some really good points! I didnt think about batteries degrading but as far as I know, the more expensive phones tend to have larger batteries which will still get you through a day without charging…

Talking about accidents, I dont think the warranty replaces accidents where you are at fault (?). My phones (cheap or expensive) always had a case and tempered glass on them and I have yet to damage any of them but I get your point, expensive phones have to last for longer. I personally worry more about how long I am going to get security updates though…

4. Completely agree with you on this one.

Buying cheaper phones for the purpose of feeling the need to upgrade them sooner doesnt really make sende though, does it?
