After 15+ years, we've made a big change: Android Forums is now Early Bird Club. Learn more here.
Chinese currency was only devalued by 2%, I don't think that would reduce prices by 25%.
Maybe some items are just on sale?

Wasn't like that 3 days ago.
I suspect coincidence though. Devices currently in the supply chain will have been bought some time ago, so devaluations won't have worked their way through to the stores yet (and it's not guaranteed that the savings will be fully passed-on anyway).
It was devalued yesterday.
However they devalued it again today (I didn't know that when I posted above) by about another 2%.

Big drops on two consecutive days. The article says total 4%, but I calculate (6.4-6.2)/6.2 as closer to 3%

I guess the main Chinese phone manufacturers affected are Huawei, OnePlus, ZTE, Lenovo. Don't know about accessories...probably a lot more.
I'm in agreement not to expect a huge change.
