  Are they? That hasn't been my experience in Canada but maybe pricing is different in India? Could you point to some specific cheap phones by those companies so I could see if I can find comparable phones by non-Chinese companies?

        That Redmi has 8 cores (cpu released in 2020) compared to the Samsung with 4 cores (released in 2017). On Antutu benchmark, the Redmi is almost 5x higher [0]. So I don't think they can be considered "similar". [0]: https://gadgetversus.com/processor/mediatek-mt6739-vs-mediatek-helio-g85/ https://gadgetversus.com/processor/mediatek-mt6739-vs-mediat...
