Huawei Mate Xs will be available in the Netherlands from April 14 for 2499 euros – Tablets and phones – News

Because the perception of money has changed and it becomes so clear.
When I was able to buy my first house (~ 5 years ago), I and my girlfriend were able to spend more than half a million guilders (and without above-average incomes). My father probably wouldn’t have believed that in the golden age .
Nor are you going to spend> 5,500 guilders on a device that serves as a phone, camera and what then no longer serves and you probably replace it after 3 years.
Suppose you write it off in 3 years, you pay> € 150 per month on a smartphone ;-).

Anyway, good that it exists. There are cars that cost € 20,000 new and cars that cost € 500,000 new. And that ratio now also exists with mobile phones. So is that exorbitant? Yes. Should you buy it as an average consumer? Depends on how naive you want to look: when I see someone walking with such an expensive device that I think / know that they earn no more than modal, the prejudices pass through my head. Whether they are right is another question, but if you don’t want them to be with me, I wonder if you should just look at me. Because I think it is not surprising to have those prejudices …
