You have to factor in the additional costs:
- R&D - could be big
- marketing
- distribution - nobody will sell your phone without getting a chunk. Can vary from 10% to 50% of the retail price.
- warranty returns
- product support - both as tech support and future updates
With Apple charging 5x the BOM for a lot of its stuff, 2x is not unreasonable if you expect any kind of after-sales support (such as updates) and any kind of R&D (not just cloning the AOSP).

Keeps finding faults plaguing some units of a particular phone on xda or other forums and repeatedly trrrrollls with them in every comment section.
He is using some 50$ unheard cheap brand with a fake Apple or Samsung logo on it.
He has zero idea about the issue you discussed which is plaguing other flagship phones.

Proud to be part of a premium ecosystem.

They make a price, and people is paying for it.
So, that means price is right....there is nothing to explain or fix.
I know I won't be supporting them, or other greedy companies like Apple, Oneplaus, Sony....I will never buy a phone for that kind of money.

Even Helio G90T in Redmi Note 8 Pro gets very warm quickly and drops in performance in mobile gaming. It does deliver only a short burst of high performance.
Anything that China tells you, you trust em.
Still, never touching Mediatek chips that go straight into mu dustbin. You're trolling.
