So as you can see, a cheap Xiaomi phone for $40 is the same as an Apple phone for $1000.

That's why I have a mid-range Nokia and I'm considering Motorola upgrade in the future

I'll upgrade when NPU start to make real difference. 2, 3, 4, 5 years? Right now it's just being developed.

I wish BlackBerry would still make phones. I would get one as soon as possible.

Maybe I'm just being a dipshit but how is this going to work? Don't people who use the map service not look at the screen because they're using GPS to drive somewhere?

They're not going to put like some voice ads or something in there that interrupts the GPS right?
