Only a fool would buy it for that price. Even the S23 Ultra can be bought cheaper with all the bonuses
Can someone explain to me how it is possible that in China the phone costs 588 but here it will be 999? And answers like that the transport costs something plus VAT don't work because it can't be done even for 250 euros, not over 400.
Unfortunately, Xiaomi also believed too much and inflated the prices to space. I will give 1000 euros for a phone only if it is made of pure gold and diamonds. To hell with them.
