What drives me personally when selecting a smartphone phone is the quality of the camera. Smartphone capabilities or other features don't rank high on my list. Which is the reason I switched to iPhone. However, the caveat is they are difficult to work on.
Until Apple's recent change in policy, they made it very difficult if not near impossible to work on their products yourself. At work, we used an Apple certified independent repair tech but had to discontinue as he claimed he could not get access to tools/parts from Apple he needed. Which makes one wonder why you even have certified independent techs?
I once managed to smash the camera lens on one of my Samsung Notes, and ordered a new camera for less than $10. However, installation involves disassembling almost the entire phone.
I've also never let any technician work on my computers or phones, and wouldn't even consider doing so without encrypting all my files requiring a separate password. The reason being is that technicians will need Admin access, which means they can access all your data on your devices. And there have been a number of news reports of data being stolen, or posted on the net without permission.
