Will need to see what they do to the OS but the hardware is heading in the right direction.

ZenOS is fucking awful.

I can't see the point in upgrading phones any more unless one breaks.

Am I missing something? I mean, all semi-decent phones run all the apps, take decent photos, have a decent battery life etc. Why bother?

Pissing contests.

But seriously, in the iPhone world, as the camera resolutions go up and the OS / apps get more bloated, then 16GB phones no longer cut it which pushes you into the 64GB category quite quickly. With the advent of slow-mo video and 4k video, soon the 64GB phones won't cut it either.
