I love its stability and memory optimization alongside endless screen customization because of Live Tiles. The fact that Windows Phone OS can fluidly run without lag with just 512MB of RAM really speaks volumes. That is something Android can only dream about.
Now that we have Windows on ARM, Microsoft should have no problem resurrecting the Lumia lineup with the latest modern SoC and an improved Continuum. I doubt it'll hurt the Surface Laptop and Surface Pro sales since you need an external monitor or a lapdock to run Continuum.

Most iphones are assembled in China, but but almost all components come from outside and pay import taxes. Also majority of them are custom made which increses prices.
Guess why many bbk phones have same off center cam bump this year. This is to reduce prixe, not to built design identity.
Iphones are sold everywhere, need to pass certification everywhere. Does not matter if hardware seems simpler. Chinese phones are cheaper to make.
VAT is not why xiaomi phones cost in Europe 70-120% more than price they have in China. It is profits ..
Do not forget BoM of 13 pro was higher than 12s Ultra.

There is, however, plenty to be unhappy about the way it runs on the Galaxy A13. It is very much not a fluent and smooth experience. There are plenty of slowdowns and stutters all over the place in animations and transitions. Slow app load times and even app switching and background operation issues due to the limited resources of the phone. The Exynos 850 seems to really be struggling to keep up with the otherwise excellent One UI 4.1 Core.
Galaxy A12
Looking at the Galaxy A12 specsheet, we knew not to expect much from it in benchmarks, so the lackluster results here are hardly surprising. It's not only benchmarks either. We experienced the occasional hiccup in regular use as well. Ultimately, if you're looking for high performance or better futureproofing, the Galaxy A12 may not be a great option.

My friend got a Samsung Galaxy A53 through telco but only for him return it back because the chipset is terrible and there's no headphone jack. In the end, he went for the A52s 5G and he's really delighted with it.
