Phones.
100% the other way around for me. My phone is the one thing I own, I use the most. To have a more fluid experience is worth a couple of hundred dollars. The hourly price difference is minuscule.
Yeah, it's subjective.
I have found that most mid tier phones and high end ones are pretty similar in practical performance and use. Even cheap phones around 300 or 200$ are pretty good nowadays and there's not much of a reason to get a really expensive one anymore. Expensive Phones simply haven't innovated much in the last couple years while cheap phones have gotten better and better, which is why phone sales are at a 10 year low right now.
My super phone is excellent and does everything I expect it to. My roommates's cheap phone somehow has worse versions of each app we install. He had to find something very specific to cast to the Roku. The type c to HDMI adapter does nothing with his phone. For some reason a mech game we play straight up wouldn't let him use certain core features until half a year later. Also for some damn reason, texts barely make it through to his phone. I gotta hit 'switch to SMS/MMS' all the time after sending him something that fails to send.
Or you could save the money and get a life \j
