Hi! Some of us are not made of money. We can’t afford not even the second greatest iphone. I have the Iphone Se and i am happy with that til it breaks. THe Nokia 8 though is far better when its about sound we’re talking even though none of my phones has stereo speakers which doesn’t bother me as i don’t go telling all people what i am listening to saying hey guys! Here i am! /A
