Budget device? Really?

JBL recently launched a new compact Bluetooth speaker called the Go 4 in Nepal. An American YouTube tech reviewer described it as a 'budget' speaker, while a Nepali reviewer also calls it a 'budget' speaker. 

There may be a gap between what is considered 'budget' by reviewers and what locals can actually buy.

Considering the per capita income in the USA is over $35,000, and in Nepal, it's merely about $1,500, it's easy to see why a $60 gadget is budget-friendly in the USA but it cannot be same in Nepal. This highlights a gap in understanding among gadget reviewers about the economic differences between countries. They often seem to just repeat the usual tech review cliches without considering local market conditions.

OR maybe the reality is different. Perhaps people in Nepal are actually buying these pricey gadgets; our purchasing power has vastly improved, and it's just me who is not earning enough to spend much on such luxuries. I still recall watching 20 review videos just to decide on a phone that cost Rs 20,000, which I use as my primary device.
