My Kyocera will work in orbit and withstand intense radiation. In fact, this very moment my new Duraforce Pro 3 is having fun in a launch-testing thermal/vac chamber.

Kyocera's 'flagship' is high-reliability phones in absolute garbage environments.

Samsung's 'flagship' overheats and earns them class-action lawsuits.

Motorola's 'flagship' is a hinged throwback to the 90s.

Apple's 'flagship' is an overpriced piece of vendor lock-in.

Meanwhile my phone takes serious abuse and laughs at it. I've dropped it and watched it go more than 700 feet down the side of a mountain (Chambless Skarn) and BARELY chip the screen protector. Waterproofing still intact. Case barely scratched.

What you consider a flagship phone is a brittle piece of junk in my hands.
