I often hear from our commentators that they are not ready to pay almost double for certified devices if they can just order with Ali and save a significant amount. But let's think about how much such people are willing to pay in addition for the opportunity to buy a smartphone here and now.
Often, when we write a review of Chinese technology, people are outraged by the large markups of our sellers, especially when it comes to certified models. Indeed, sometimes the difference is an impressive 60-70% of their own prices in China, and attempts to explain that you are getting a device with normal firmware, warranty and manufacturer's support run into a wall of misunderstanding: 'I don't care, I'll buy it in China!' By the way, it's very funny that such people in any kind of marriage know what they do? They go to the official community of the brand group in Russia and begin to complain about what a bad device they bought, how something burned out, broke, stopped working, etc. And the funniest thing in this situation is that if they bought the same smartphone in Russia, they could simply hand over it under warranty. Although no, the funny thing is that when purchasing a Chinese version of a smartphone, people consider it normal to come to the Russian official community to complain, although such groups are usually conducted on the profit from the sale of certified devices. Well, okay, it's just a few thoughts out loud.
My question today sounds like this: how much would you be willing to overpay for a certified device with a warranty, normal firmware and the ability to get it here and now, and not wait for delivery from China? Well, if the overpayment is the same 60-70%, then what should this smartphone have in order for you to agree to pay more? This time I will not express my opinion, because I understand where the extra charge for certified devices comes from, but it would be very interesting for me to read your opinion, dear readers.
