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.

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

        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

        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.
