[Vivo X90 Pro Plus] extremecarver:
I will do so in 2 months - latest 3 months (except Pixel 8 Pro will be announced to run on Samsung GAAFET 3nm). But it doesn't make sense to compare Europe price with China import price.

JD.com is the best source for China prices - add 10-30% and you get Europe import price (because importers will buy a bit cheaper and there are sometimes offers in China). All base config:

The X90PP usually costs 5999RMB - I think there was a limited offer once for 5000RMB.

Xiaomi 13 Pro costs 5399RMB (not sure about offers)

Honor Magic 5 Pro costs 5199RMB on offer right now (not sure how long that offer will last)

Samsung S23 Ultra starts at 7399RMB

Oppo Find X6 Pro 5999RMB

Xiaomi 13 Ultra so far is only in presale....

It's clear that the Magic 5 Pro or Xiaomi 13 Pro as an import model should be same price or cheaper as Vivo X90 PP. Oppo Find X6 Pro has same price as X90PP but less chance for offers in China. Import price should be about the same or a little more (no offers yet)).

Quoting a price of 1200€ for Honor Magic 5 Pro for global veresion can only be compared to X90 Pro. And well I sure know I would prefer Magic 5 Pro over X90 Pro but for 1200€ would not touch eiter of those phones. That's more expensive than S23 Ultra which in China costs way more than the rest of those phones.

However if you compare prices in Europe actually and not RRP - then Magic 5 Pro costs virtually the same as X90 Pro for the global models - X90 Pro being 11€ cheaper at 1066€.

It's easily visibl that if we take China prices as reference Honor is having the smallest extra margin (because Vivo X90 Pro goes for 4899RMB right now and was available already for 4200). Vivo, Oppo, Xiaomi right now on global models overprice like crazy. And then Vivo dosen't even sell its top model. While Oppo (not yet), Honor and Xiaomi do. However Oppo maybe having to stop soon due to Nokia patent infringements (not only in Germany). So if there is one company that overcharges it's customers in europe like crazy it's vivo. 4200 RMB=557€ - so they charge nearly double for a spyware free global version. Oneplus is more in footsteps of Honor when it comes to European pricing (Oneplus 11 in Europe right now for 757€ vs 399RMB in China) while Motorola goes overboard too (3399 for X40 vs 816€ in Europe).
