Your options are:

Apple phone

Bloated android phone like Samsung etc.

Chinese android phone (xiami etc)

Google phone with Android

Google phone with graphene. This still looks like the best of those options.

Or no phone? I guess people are hardcore enough that will be the option.

Edit: I stand corrected.

Another excellent example of this working is Factorio.

The original game doesn’t cost a fortune, it’s made by a small extremely dedicated team. They polished it so hard the shine made everything else look like vanta black. Playing Factorio ruins other games because the depth and quality of everything else is so poor in comparison.

The game came out in like 2013 early access. Full release completed in 2020. A decade after initial launch, they are going to offer a DLC, that will cost money.

Absolutely happy to pay for a DLC for that perfection.
