How to read this
The footnotes are part of the product.
Primary sources first
Every displayed phone fact points to a manufacturer specification, announcement, or official catalogue.
Context stays attached
Original price includes currency, market, and what the source does—or does not—say about configuration.
Unknown is not a guess
When a cited source omits a detail, the comparison says so instead of filling the gap silently.
