Yup, very good point.... a lot of people on here are saying the Honor 50 is overpriced (the 256Gb model is just 414 CHF here in Switzerland), but I would have liked to know which phones you'd recommend over this one.

I had the honor 10 and I loved it for 3+ years, now its on my mothers hands still strong. But this time I went to another brand. Their price is not competitive anymore, and they don't offer flagship soc (due to the huawaei ban and the kirin death). the base model starts with 6gb ram not 8gb and from my honor 10 experience, if it had more ram I would not had to change it. Also for a reason they dont offer 8/128 model and the 8/256 is 100 euros more than the 6/128. Their main competiot offers their 8/256 cheaper that their base offering. They are more expensive than Sampsung models with the same soc. Honor is no more the best midranger in price with close to flagship stats.

@@moojw I have gone to the Xiaomi 11T nice price 128gb 400 euros. If Trump did not hurt the development of kirin, it would be stronger, but the dimensity 1200 is very good and its not throttling like in the 11T pro. But Xiaomi is taking a step behind pricing their newest devices higher.
