This phone still costs $770 here in central Europe :-( I can buy three Redmi Note 13 for this.

Yes it's manufactured by laborers who actually do get a good wage.

The phone isn't manufactured in Europe: that's not why it's expensive. In fact it's not expensive at all - it just isn't subsidised by slave labour and harmful mineral extraction. This is the real cost of a smartphone.
