The pricing is now norm in Asia for last several years. In fact Xiaomi is not #1 in terms of quality or value for money. It's Oppo/Realme/OnePlus (all are same hardware). They do not have ads like Xiaomi and pretty much retail for the same price and ship millions of hardware. The quality is definitely higher with Oppo/Realme (budget options) having same quality as Oneplus (premium).

Doesn't Oneplus have better software? Oppo is not popular in EU.

OxygenOS (OnePlus) and ColorOS (Oppo) will soon share the same codebase.

I see, Realme/Oppo is not popular yet but is miles ahead of Xiaomi. Its almost as good as Samsung in terms of durability and much better in terms of quality of underlying components (vs value). Its pretty much a budget OnePlus.
