    I don’t play games with my phone. The performance is more than good enough for my use. And it has a removable battery just like the ones I had before

      The initial performance is always decent. The problem is the planned obsolessence. To compare two 2017 phones: my mom’s Huawei p10 and my Redmi 4X, for example. The p10’s geekbench score is ~2* the Redmi’s and it’s visible even in simple use. Web browsing works fine on the p10, but on the Redmi, it takes way longer to render a page slightly heavier, than wikipedia. OSMand works on the p10 perfectly, but on the Redmi, it takes very long to calculate routes and crashes often. If you want to use a phone for ~10 years, it’s usually better to invest in a performant one.
