Funny how a 200€ Xiaomi phone has 256 GB of storage these days. No idea though if that is fake HDD somehow.

Why would it be fake? NAND flash is cheap, that's why Xiaomi can offer 256GB on cheap phones since few people rush to buy Xiaomi. Apple and Samsung are name brands and can afford to overcharge their customers.

Isn't Xiaomi a name brand? I mean, the name is right there: Xiaomi.

Name Brand generally refers to something not being a White Label Brand. So, "Apple" is a Name Brand, but "TALK WORKS" iPhone chargers (on Amazon) are probably a White Label and, therefore, not a Name Brand.
