Interesting parameters and price👍👍👍
For 500, as they write in the article, don't expect them on Eshop.. They have already appeared on trading and Giztop, the prices are much higher, approx.
hey hey, but when you consider that both the 14pro and 13pro go for relatively the same price on trading, there's nothing wrong with that.
