As many have said before, if I am going to pay 1K+ for a phone, then I will just buy an iPhone XS. No reason spend 1K on a Chinese product.

About the crazy pricing that is going on:
I think part of the problem is people are mostly happy with their current phone and won't buy a flagship regardless of the cost since they just don't need it.
And so the companies that will try to squeeze every penny from the fewer people who really want their new products.
Also, there is something very suspicious about all big brands rising the prices together, as if they simply don't care about competing with each other at all !

And what's even more funny is that those overpriced new phones are also so fragile, break a screen and you'll feel even more stupid. A screen replacement costs as much as a new entry-level phone or even more.

No smartphone is worth all this money, last 2 years i did not buy flagship phones. Before this i always has the new Sammy note or S series or both at same time, and highest 1 year i got them.
But last 2 years i really laugh of my silly choices, no phone is worth all this money.
And today most phones have real good specs, enough for most peoople. In my opinion last couple of years have giving us a really good standard specs with good prices, for midrangers and som low to.
As long as so many people buy those expensive phones, they will take high prices of course, i would do the same.
And its not just for rich people, many people take a loan for buying it.
I feel good with my Kirin 970, it gives me what i need.
Try remember ur phones specs for 2-3 years ago and how slow it was, but thats not like this any longer, with even the low budget, the standard is much higher now.
Please folks, stop paying this shitty high prices for a lousy phone, u just have yo pay even more next year.
Waky waky!!!

We, phone lovers, force ourselves to be stupid by thinking that every new phone that comes out, brings additional features (compared to previous year models) and is priced higher than previous models is worth it. But we all know that by the time the next iteration comes out the following year, the price will be reduced by half.
So I ask the question : How is a 1000$ phone today totally worth it when the same phone will be sold 500$ tomorrow?

I'll wait for next year to buy it, when the price drops by half, and then I'll see which one of you guys will still tell me that it's totally worth the 1000$ price tag.

While many of the loyal apple users are criticizing the extra ordinary cost of the newly launched apple devices (a vid was also shared telling approx cost of new iPhone), I am astonished how huawei think that they will sell successfully the device at this much cost. IMO, it is a bad move by huawei.

Mate 20 pro - more ram, battery & camera
iPhone XS max - stainless steel build, 3d facial scanning hardware is very sophisticated, biggest vibration motor
I think both of these would have similar production cost.

Anyone spending that much on a phone must reconsider seriously his priorities in life. We're talking about a cell phone, not some powerful computer or jewelry. That's a glass sandwich that can send messages and show you dumb videos from whatever procrastination platform you want.

LOL, if I would spend so much money for a phone, i would rather get the XS, with Apple you get the GUARANTEED and early updates, also their consumer care is better.
But I will probably get a Vivo Nex S soon, that is a phone that is way more worth it, complete without the notch :)

Anonymous, 12 Oct 2018Imo, the only one who should be selling phones at 1000 are ... moreI beg to differ. In my opinion, Samsung should sell Note phones for $900, since the Note 8 starting price was $900, Apple can sell $1000 phones, since... they're Apple. I think that Huawei should lower their prices. Their prices for budget phones are really good, and i applaud them for that, but the flagship prices are way too high. The Mate RS Porsche Design has identical hardware to the P20 Pro, with a fingerptint sensor under the display, and priced at 1600 EUR (1850 USD). a 500 EUR (600 USD) difference for some small changes? Plus, that's almost 2 grand for a phone. Huawei doesn't need that price tag. LG V40's price is alright, at 900 USD, people complained, but hey, if you want a flagship these days, you gotta dig deeper in your pockets... The Pixel is so overpriced. Google makes most of its money through software and ads, they could've lower the prices to be more competitive to the OnePlus 6. Remember when the S7 was 800 USD and Nexus 6P 600 USD? Yeah, I don't ask cheap prices for Pixel phones, but they could learn where they got the reputation for their phones from. The Nexus line. If Google were to revive the Nexus, and priced them reasonably, they would succeed more than with the Pixel. Okay, I doubt OnePlus will price their phones at $1000. And lastly, Sony. I am a huge fan of Sony, but that doesn't mean that I approve everything they do. XZ2 Premium's price at $1000 is not okay. Especially when the XZ Premium cost like 850, XZ2 Premium's price is not acceptable. XZ3 should be priced at 800 USD, XZ2 (as of right now) should be 650 USD, XZ2 Compact 550 USD, and XZ2 Premium 900 USD tops. Part of the reason Sony doesn't sell as well is because their prices are competitive to the iPhone and Galaxy phones. If Sony advertised like... everywhere, and if they lower their prices just a bit, and expand their services in other countries, I can guarantee, Sony will do a lot better.

Anonymous, 12 Oct 2018Huawei released phones last year for 1000 and even over 150... moreI would love to see the actual numbers,
Last time Huawei mention sales they said 10M but including their 3 series (PRO, P20 and lite)... so who knows if the lite takes half -or more- of those sales.
