Sure huawei and xiaomi are out there, but Huawei is nearly impossible to find in the US, and I don't know anything about availability of xiaomi in the US... so they might be cheaper but if you can't buy them, does that really matter?
Xiaomi is very available. Huawei is a pain in the US but the most available phone world wide. And don't forget OnePlus which is higher end than Samsung for like $700.
So those all used to be $1k?
Nope, they release way cheaper. That's the point. The highest end phones aren't $1K. The highest marketed in the US phones are $1K, but that's not the same thing.
Then the price isn't going down... for those phones it's either flat, or going up.
Hell, the Google Phones used to be noticeably cheaper.. now they are nearly as bad as Samsung and Apple.

What makes you say that? Have you checked OnePlus, Huawei, Xiaomi, etc.?
-
And the expectation is even more price drops as Xiaomi just opened their own fabs and are redesigning products without the huge licensing cost of ARM processors. Already some of their products (not their phones yet) the prices are plummeting as the CPU costs start dropping (why Xiaomi maintains their margins.)
The move from ARM to RISC-V is expected to really boost their market.

I actually just purchased a HUAWEI Band 3 Pro, been wanting a smart watch for a while now and the price was right.

I know it isn't top of the line but I got a Pixel 3a XL and am very pleased with it. I got it for 400$ and it blows the pants off my 700-800$ phones.
Of the same era, or are you talking about a 7-800 phone from a year or two or more ago?
A year or two ago. Although from some of the benchmarks I've seen it does decent again phones from its generation.

I would fully expect a current phone to trash a few years old phone... and a $7-800 few years old phone is still barely top of the line compared to the prices of Samsung/Apple (not saying the hardware wasn't matching/beating them.. I just know the price is still lower than those two, which makes me at minimum ask - where the specs of that 7-800 device the same or better than apple/samsung?)

At this point I'm just rambling... but that doesn't tell me anything - I know nothing about Moto's.. where they spec'ed the same as samsung top of the line at that time? did reviews basically say they performed the same?

Bought it when they were owned by Google... I mean still not great but better.

I thought this thread should be about Meshcentral2 for SMB...
Then @scottalanmiller tries to teach us how to have better battery life, after we "observed" his problem with battery life on the above video
Batteries - My laptops are on charging whenever it is convenient, I use it more hours per day than my colleagues, and I have best battery life after few years. Thats my experience...
P.S. I hope @scottalanmiller will not feel offended with the above text

@scottalanmiller That's one hell of a run on sentence! Do you actually speak without pausing or breathing?
