hello , I think it might be about the currency differences,also the transportation costs would rise the prices,the original country of the products must have the cheapest price , the quality might not be the same

It is quiet obvious due to changing in custom duty structure, taxation system and other factors, which differs the price structure country to country even with the same products/brands, but difference in prices would be very nominal.

More than 1 reason for the difference in price. You can attribute it to the following: 

1. Place of manfucturing + shipping 

2. Taxes in the place of import or manufacturing

3. Availability of sales/ technical team and the associated cost involved with the customer support service etc.

Different taxes even accessories from country to country (special edition for specific countries)

This difference could be seen in term of the country tax levy, cost of transportation, insurance cost and quality of the phone.

Different prices because of the Taxes and Import Duties applied by country to country.

Different country has different taxes levied on products.
