Oppo Prices Find X10 Pro Max at €1,799 as Users Balk at Flagship Premium

1 articles · Updated · 9to5Google · Oct 23

Summary

  • €1,799 puts Oppo’s Find X10 Pro Max just €200 below the Galaxy Z Fold 8 in Europe, triggering user backlash over the price of a non-foldable, MediaTek-powered flagship.
  • AI-driven cost inflation across the tech industry is cited as a key reason, with Samsung’s Galaxy S26 Ultra already at €1,769 and Xiaomi also facing reports of steep European pricing.
  • Reddit users said the new Oppo matches iPhone 18 Pro Max pricing in some markets and looks especially poor value when older Oppo models still sell for far less.
  • Around €1,000 can still buy a Find X9 Pro in Europe, and some buyers argue last year’s phone offers more memory and a bigger battery for hundreds less.
  • UK promotions may soften the hit for some shoppers, but the launch underscores how premium Android pricing in Europe is pushing buyers toward older flagships.
