Solun1, 26 Feb 2022It's funny but in fact the US has it more expensive by 50 USD compared to EUR prices. The... moreStill at 428 it could be one of best phones on the market.
Anyway it looks gorgeous and i never know US dont have any VAT on electronics.
I thought every country have VAT on litterary everything.
Here in Slovakia tiny country in central Europe VAT is 10% on services and 20% on everything else. (By everything else i mean electronics, houses, cars, food, grocery etc)
AnonD-731363, 24 Feb 2022So the USA gets cheaper because price in dolars is same like price in euros but 1 USD is 0,89E... moreIt's funny but in fact the US has it more expensive by 50 USD compared to EUR prices. They don't have any taxes on consumer electronics while a lot of Europe has about 20-25% extra VAT tax. This means Xiaomi is subsidizing the device price in heavily taxed regions because they realize it would be too expensive if consumers had to pay full price. That being said, if you buy through a limited liability company, the tax eventually gets back to you. Plus there is a discount code on the official website for 30 EUR. If you take advantage of these options, the phone will set you back by EUR 428.00. Which isn't bad, but a bit too much for one year old Xiaomi.
Samsung F42 5G 8GB RAM, Mobile handling very nice. Battery backup good. But smart view (or) mirror screen option not available it was big drawback.
Please update the software at earliest, we need this option.
Anonymous, 24 Feb 2022proof of your claim????? Samsung has released a statement about Exynos variant S22 Ultra and apologizes. The Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 heats even more than the 888 when taking videos and gaming in all phones with that chipset

So the USA gets cheaper because price in dolars is same like price in euros but 1 USD is 0,89EUR.
And GBP is even less.

Pass. The S22 Ultra is out now, no point going backwards to the 888 or 888+, small batteries, and mediocre software support
Also the cooler and earphones accessorries cost €999 each. Too bad I can't put here the Harold meme.
This device was released a year ago. A lot of tech people upgrade their phones every year, so now is the time for a new model already :D.
It is possible to launch in India ??
Better late than never. This BS4 Pro is still totally worth it's value even against the new phones this year.
Wait...US!? What!? That's a massive first! I wonder what the LTE/5G bands look like for that...
GrahamD, 23 Feb 2022The battery is not good enough for a gaming phone...120W fast charging will cover that
MagicMonkeyBoy, 23 Feb 2022Really appreciate your gaming phone updates GSMArena. As I am frantically looking at new Gamin... morewhat games do you wanna play? most games in play stores or some emulators (ppsspp and dolphin) are playable on $300 regular phones, but if you want to play Genshin or else it's better you buy gaming laptop/PC.
Why don't you give 4 OS updates like Samsung??
Idiots want us to spend €1000 to use phone like use and throw cup?
The battery is not good enough for a gaming phone...
Really appreciate your gaming phone updates GSMArena. As I am frantically looking at new Gaming Devices to buy to upgrade from my current red magic device. - (Which is still awesome by the way).
With all these gaming phones launching. And the fact that my friend just a few days ago, she bought the Asus rog phone 5s. I am real impressed. As I say, I already own a red magic device and my friend was inspired by gaming phones and my red magic device. So much so. That she just bought the RoG 5s a few days ago.
Now I am on the hunt for value for currency. Flagship specs of a beastly fully capable gaming device... Right now it's a bit difficult to choose as more gaming phones are on there way. And more gaming phones than ever before are being released... More SoCs. More choice... More of a headache choosing between... I need to wait for the red magic 7 pro and Y90 and black shark 5 as well as the realme gaming edition handset to appear on the market to buy.
But I have never had such a dilemma choosing a gaming handset until now. But I will be getting a gaming phone. And that is a fact. But which one?
