I suppose I have what must run into a thousand £ or so of photographic gear but I haven't bought a phone for decades. In fact I've only even bought two. I used to do an awful lot of miles and bought the first after a woman went into the back of my car one day and I'd have been stuck there hundreds of miles from home if she hadn't lent me hers, so I thought I better get one. I have a smartphone now but only because someone gave it to me. It's PAYG and I have no interest in it or smartphones in general but I do realise I'm not typical and most people can't even seem to put there's down
People don't need to spend a lot on phones, they choose to and what people spend on phones just baffles me especially when pleading poverty in other areas.
All that may have nothing to do with this but thanks for reading
Other than that. Mrs WW constantly swaps photos and vids with her friends and family and they often look stunning on the phone and tablet but when I look at them on my pc the issues are there to be seen, if I look for them, with motion blur and smeared detail galore. I do accept that they're good enough for most people most of the time it's just that to me they're soulless joyless things and I just don't like anything about them other than there's one in my pocket for emergency use.
