The smaller sibling of the Blade V10 is priced significantly below 180 Euros (~$203), offers a large display, good storage equipment, and the current Android 9.0 Pie, but makes some compromises in terms of the camera.

Usually not interested in the entry models but the SoC got my attention, it turns out worse than I thought...
Did a quick search and found on Taobao that a US version base model S8 can be had for CNY1360 (~$197), again proof of my standing belief that it's better to buy an old flagship than a new compromise.
