Others are speaking from experience. This is a tech site so please just don't put across comments as facts which are just your opinions.I did not save the link but it was similar source that others here are quoting to say Apple/Sammy has same quality as those leco/oppo type phones
There are a few members over here including me, who have used nearly all the noteworthy phones available over the past 5-6 years. I have never had a phone fail on me but that was probably because I rarely kept a phone for more than 3 months. The longest I have held on to a phone was the Note 2 for 6 months and then the OPO for more than a year. I have now moved to Redmi Note 3.
Never went back to iPhones and Samsung because they had become prohibitively expensive in India and even importing them had become a headache. Usage wise I only find them better to be in the camera department and that's it. The OPO was super fast and even the Redmi Note 3 is plenty fast.
As for cameras, all the Samsung and iPhone offerings fail at what I have in the Nokia department. I have working condition, N8, 808, 1020 and 1520. All of them are in perfect working condition as well. The N8 is 6 years old now and has returned to me after serving a couple of family members. Same goes for 808.
After owning all these phones, I can definitely say that the cheaper phones of today are at par with the expensive options. I also have many friends abroad (non-Indians) who are now turning to these options from Xiaomi, OP, OPPO and Huawei because even despite having the bucks to splurge, they'd rather buy the cheaper phones because all the expensive options are definitely not worth double the cheaper ones. These guys don't even get warranty as they have to usually import the Xiaomi and OPPO offerings. However they are more than happy to do the same as they also haven't usually faced issues with their phones and they also keep changing phones every 2-3 months.
