There are smartphones, like this HONOR Lite 70, that are a necessary reminder that the input range is much more than we sometimes think. It is true that its performance may not be enough for particularly demanding uses, but it is also true that the vast majority of users of mid-range and high-end devices are underusing their devices, since their needs could be perfectly covered with much less. . It is, as my friend Carlos says, buying a Ferrari to go buy bread.
In addition, the times are long gone when the devices that we found in this market segment smelled of neglect and reluctance for miles. Today, the ecosystem of manufacturers that fight to get a piece of it seeks to stand out with very balanced proposals, in which the price-quality ratio stands out on many occasions. But well, we have already talked a lot about the general (the input range), so let’s jump to the specific, that is, the smartphone at hand.
