Why you shouldnt buy a big-brand flagship phone:

Everybody knows the feeling. Your phone falls down, the screen breaks, you dont want to pay for repairs or spend 800$ on the newest iPhone or Samsung Galaxy. Some might consider repairing the screen, but you would be suprised to find out what you can buy for the same price of repairing it. 
Most people that dont want to buy an 800$ phone, will opt for a mid-priced model like the Huawai p10 or a Motorola, which are clunky, and, frankly ugly. But a new kind of phone has entered the European maket, Chinese "Phablets". These are phones produced by (mostly) unkown companies such as "Maze " or "Oukitel".  The phones sport very good specs, are well made and stylish. Most of them also have the newest Android software, fast charging ports and high-resolution displays. One might think that all of this becomes pricey, however prices range from 70$-230$.
At the end of the day, its your decision, but the next time your phone breaks, you might consider a no-name phone.
