It doesn't seem competitive compared to Chinese phones (xiaomi, huawei, oneplus), is it? For instance a Xiaomi MI9 SE seems better value (dual sim, metal body, smaller with a bigger/better screen...).



When it comes to price and pure hardware, nothing beats chinese phones, but the premium you're paying goes into better software and support.


Even Samsung... in the UK you can buy a S10e for cheaper than the 3A XL.


Is that some special discount on the S10e?

S10e - £669: https://www.samsung.com/uk/smartphones/galaxy-s10/buy/

Pixel 3a XL - £469: https://store.google.com/gb/config/pixel_3a


Interesting, that is news to me, has it always been like that for Samsung? I was always under the impression most Smartphone or Electronics devices has a 1:! US:UK/EU pricing due to VAT.

So the S10e is only £669.00 in the UK inc. VAT? Are there any further discount from main-street retailers?
