No one would start intentionally shopping for a phone priced that high just by looking at this ad. It has to be a more literal clickbait.

UPDATE: I did not consider the currency. The number of responses mentioning currency tells me that’s what I overlooked. I am no longer even mildly infuriated and am therfore a liar 😅

      Considering “Violeta” is Spanish… it’s probably in pesos. About $650 usd.

        This could be. I mentioned in another reply, I did assume I’d only see local currency prices. Seeing 3+ responses questioning the currency makes me think that’s a likely explanation.

        It’s funny because in my initial writing of my comment I actually wrote pesos instead of yen but I wasn’t sure how close the peso was to the dollar so I went with yen lol

        A quick check shows the S24 Violet goes for 800 to 1k USD. And is currently marked down slightly. So about right, yeah.
