Nobody calls for their quality, but you can find and cheaper devices with similar characteristics, assembled as scrupulously - it is enough to pay attention to the products of Chinese manufacturers of the "middle hand", like doogee or blackview. "Corrected" Samsung - Koreans in 2019 pleased with an updated A-lineup, which includes inexpensive, but functional models.

Unfortunately, overpayment for the brand is the norm for the current mobile market. However, there is hope that the "Chinese invasion" will change the situation and buyers will understand: give money for loud names - it's stupid.
