Just a small code snippet of the affected area

<View style={styles.priceAndCurrency}> <Text testID={buildTestId('productDetail_footer_price')} style={[textStyles.HeadlineH3Extrabold, styles.fixLineHeight, { color: colors.labelColor }]}> {formattedPrice} </Text> </View>

This is a Samsung issue, not an issue with React Native. I reproduced it on a pure, blank native Android project on a Galaxy S10. €100 is read as "100", while $100 is read as "100 dollars". On a OnePlus 8 it's reading € correctly.

@vinvijdev You might be able to workaround it by passing accessibilityLabel="100 euros" (for example) as a prop to <Text> to override what's being read by Talkback.

But yeah, this issue can be closed as it's not an issue in React Native itself.
