There are plenty of touch screen smartphones out there that cost like $150. The expensive ones are still the norm though because people want status symbols

While some may but them for status, I bought the 22 ultra for screen real-estate, a built in s-pen, and a badass camera. There's definitely reasons to invest in a good device beyond impressing others.
