This will be the situation in at least one Eurozone country, unfortunately.

    Nothing surprising.The OnePlus3T here costs 520 Euroes for 64 gb variant but on the internet for 450$.
    Also the LG G6 that supposed to cost 700$ it costs 800$ here.So go figure.
    I won'ssssst be surprised if the Samsung S8+ costs 1000$ here

      If the Screen on the Sony XZ premium was like 1440x2880 pixels it would have been much better.
      Also people love phones like Xiaomi mi Mix and the S8 looks really great with that screen.

        R.I.P. Samsung, long live Huawei!
        Samsung is no longer the innovator, now that companies like Huawei have catched up we don't rely on Samsung only.

          Paying $800+ for a phone? No thanks. Its not that i cant afford. I think its a waste of money. 6 months later the phone will be almost half price.

                Yup, Samsung has to make the consumer to pay for their mistakes on the Note 7. Typical corporate bureaucrats :(

                  I don't understand why you people want to pay this much money for S8? Is Xperia Xz premium that bad that you are skipping it for S8?

                              And for cars, we pay between 3 to 5 times the normal price of it compared to our neighbouring countries and can only keep it for 10 years (to use beyond this time frame have to buy the certificate again)...

                                  People keep blabbering about it being expensive blah blah.

                                  I'll repeat what others have kept saying: if you can't afford it, don't buy it. Simple as that - there are other phones if you want a cheaper one.

                                    Here in South Africa according to our exchange rate we pay well over $1000 for any top of the range phone. We earn less and pay more. It's typical of 3rd world countries.
