No? The Oppo Find X9 Pro is $800, including tariffs. (In China, it's ¥5300 while the iPhone 17 Pro is ¥9000.) And take care that it's not just good, it's reviewed as the absolute best of the year.
They are not available in the USA. Have to buy unlocked from 3rd party and import it and pay tariffs. So the runner up, the best phone camera you can easily buy here in the USA for me is the iPhone. And even if it is 800, that’s iPhone money still like it said lol
I didn't realize you meant the price of the base iPhone. But for one, at $500, you can get a Pixel 10a, which topped categories in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VRoTOE3FqT0. Besides that you can get similar camera quality for $200 by simply buying a phone from four years ago,
