@Lumia Price DownFall and Design, Build Quality

[Deleted member 408734]

Lumia devices launch at a very high price but after some time of sale(3-12 months), their price falls to 1/3 to 1/2 sometimes even lower than their launch retail price, particularly that of Lumia *3* and *4* series. Do you think that Low build quality, every Lumia With some Particular Hardware Issues and Lower specced phones than the Android counterparts are the reason of this, particularly of budget, low end and Mid range smartphones? Has Microsoft left designs innovations, build quality tests and new processors research and tests ?

Lumia phones with right specs, latest processors, still bang for buck but still with nice build quality, I wish. The Lumia phones of 2014/2015 except Lumia 830 and 930, have particularly the gaps between front Glass panel and the corners of the phone which is easily noticeable and looks bad( For eg. See any high resolution photo of Lumia 535, 640, 640 XL, 730, 735) and the gap and creak between back body and back cover of these phones can be easily felt due to non-unibody type design, as well as sharp corners around edges sucks, so I am against these types of fully removable back cover instead it would be better to have phones with Aluminium frames or even hard polycarbonate frames, with removable cover like that of Lumia 830 but the frames must be smooth rounded like that of Lumia 925.

Though, majority of Lumia users use Lumia 5**, 6** series smartphones, nobody care about the design, build quality, processors, of these smartphones.
Do they expect dirt for cheap or somewhat else?
