      Probably not so much of a problem anymore, but Android phones used to have a lot of crapware from the phone manufacturer and/or carrier and you couldn’t expect more than a single OS update. Android phones are a good deal at $100 but I wouldn’t want to pay $700 for such messy UI. Google’s Nexus and Pixel as well as Motorola and OnePlus catered to the enthusiasts that knew what they want but these have never been big sellers in the West.
