When another big competitor is ruled out, why Qualcomm does not increase the price of the only market choice: snapdragon?
I'm not under the impression that anybody is ruled out. Samsung sticks to Exynos despite the performance issues, and Huawei's position in the Chinese market is further consolidated by nationalist brainwash.
In fact MTK seems to be making a comeback and could further threaten Qualcomm if the Dimensity series delivers.

The price for the 865 is outrageous, but I really don't think a TCL screen could cost that much.
It looks like the price includes the 5G baseband chip which isn't going to be cheap.
Considering the generational advancement in performance, the 865 should be minimally more expensive than the 855 aside from the modem, then that would mean the 865 minus modem, with a discrete modem about the same size as the rest of the SoC(which AMD demonstrated basically cuts production costs in half compared to single die with its chiplet approach) would certainly cost far less to Qualcomm than twice the cost of 855, which means Qualcomm not only delivered lowered efficiency but also bumped their margins with the 865.

I like curved screens, 108mp also, best processor is then a must. If you want cheap hw try iphone, they got flat screen and 12mp camera. Or you can buy mi note, its cheaper even.

The curved displays are going away, finally, but only because every Android smartphone manufacturer on Earth copies Samsung's S and Note series phones, which are starting to move back towards a more 2.5D-type display.

Now all we need is for Samsung to reverse the trend of making phones stupidly tall and narrow and go back to what should have been the new standard all along (18:9).

The Mi 10 was released last week and fans may have been put off by its nigh-US$600 starting price tag. Here, we have a closer look at how much it may have cost Xiaomi to build the Mi 10, with the goal of ascertaining just how fair the phone's price tag actually is.
