However, I just compared the OnePlus 9 Pro (£800+) with Samsungs highest priced phone (£1600). Given the specs comparison between brands, OnePlus is still a far better deal than going with Samsung or Apple. Although, I noticed Apples iPhone Pro Max is only £1099. I think this speaks volumes for the direction that Samsung has gone, for them to not only cost more than Apple products, but by a ridiculous margin too.

Yeah, you're right!
Although I personally have never liked Samsung, even when it was priced correctly. The few Samsung products I had died after a shorter time than expected, or where just sh*t haha (the last one I bought was a smartwatch, I sold it back 2 weeks later because I hated it xD)
And their politic of pricing much higher than other brands for no reason is just some stupid marketing shit that I will never approve haha.
That's just my biased point of view though, I see there are lots of Samsung users here, I'm sure it's good for some people ^^
