    This is not about the programming language nor the OS. It’s about masquerading a cheap butchered android phone as a brand new device. If it was some custom, optimized hardware to connect the main I/O (camera, touchscreen, buttons) to a piece of software that communicate with a remote server, it would justify the price. But as it is, it’s a borderline refurbished weak phone hardware sold for $200.
