How do you fantasise your new gadget to be bought? If you imagine it to be the latest and greatest with hundreds and hundreds of ‘features’ then perhaps you have fallen prey to the big tech marketing. Even power users don’t use most of these so called features. You should think about your needs, how the new gadget would make a difference in your life and work flow and then make the purchase. There is no fun in buying a high end gadget and moulding yourself to it. It should be rather opposite.

@ogtechtodon what a coincidence! there was a time in my life when I too have ran behind the latest and the greatest and wasted a lot of money. Now my purchase plan is fixed. I buy a used Pixel phone either budget 'a' series or a 'non pro' version and use it with @GrapheneOS. Its peace of mind!
