   There absolutely is a market for a new 'premium' smartphone maker to arrive.. But given the hardware prices currently, we are stuck with two companies who are purely now squeezing every cent they can out of us while destroying their experience.

      Two companies? Apple and who else? Google? Samsung? Xiaomi? OnePlus? RedMagic? Trump Mobile?

      Okay, probably not the Trump phone but all the other's I've listed make some pretty great (and expensive) options.

         Apple and Android. If you can name one Android(Google) luxury phone I am willing to listen. OnePlus used to be the one to go to.

            I named five companies that if you search for "$COMPANY_NAME flagship" you will quickly find relevant models.

            Now if you are looking for luxury phones, that's a different thing. Something from Vertu would likely qualify. They are expensive and are made from high end materials, but the phones themselves aren't that special.
