I'm talking about mobile devices here, but also computers.

But lets take a look at Google Nexus 4 an example since that is a new device.

Isn't the Nexus 4 subsidized by Google to help (a struggling Android device manufacturer) LG?

If the price is almost double or at least 1/3 more expensive in Europe. wouldn't that make the competition much harder with several more operators and vendors?
