2. Apple & samsung don't tend to cut corners with their flagships. That doesn't fully justify the cost increase but, even at the component level, their phones cost more to make. There's also the lengthy update guarantees

Android Authority, 23 Dec 2020Because in these people's mind,
Chinese Company = ... moreApple is "low quality"?
Cute.
I've never owned an apple product but I've used plenty of them. Low quality they are not. Their devices have, historically, held up extremely well over time.
Also, who else spends as much on r&d for phones?
Not huawei or samsung. They spend more, overall, but have far more diverse interests which really suck up the monies (fabs, NAND, oled/screen tech, engines, telecom, ai, asics/processors, sensors, etc).
Whether we use them or not, Apple consistently produces the biggest/most expensive socs, employ high quality components (sensors, NAND, chassis, etc), and seem to be consistently ahead of the curve when it comes to tech trends & implementations (looking beyond cameras, they've the best implementation of 3d sensing that I'm aware of; they were using pcie based storage years before other OEMs; ditto for armv8a cpus)

Chinese Company = Low Quality/Low Price.
Companies which have been traditionally the norm in N.America, Europe, etc = Good Quality.
Apple and Samsung can charge whatever they want for their outdated specs. You can't blame them for making the phone too costly, especially Apple.
I have yet to see a YouTube reviewer complain about high Apple pricing during their reviews just like they conveniently ignore the absence of variety of latest features on the iPhone (all of which are present on Android).
These same guys are quick to criticize pricing from OnePlus or Xiaomi.

I am not sure if global mi11(and other phone)will support 6GHz band Wifi...At least in China it is illegal now.

splus, 23 Dec 2020I think Xiaomi meant Wifi 6E when they said enhanced WiFi 6... moreNo,they mean 160Mhz bandwith.
Wifi 6e have a 6GHz band,but currently 6GHz are not allowed to be used as Wifi band in China.
So enhanced Wifi6 mean it support 160Mhz bandwith at 5GHz band(this year most phone only support 80MHz bandwith at 5GHz band)

I think Xiaomi meant Wifi 6E when they said enhanced WiFi 6. Wifi 6E is much faster than the regular Wifi 6.

How come Xiaomi are held accountable for the increased prices and Apple or Samsung, which sell phones at double the price are overlooked?

Xiaomi is the value king. I'm sure people will get a lot of phone for $700.
