The firm IHS conducted, as usual (with the Moto X, for example), the breakdown of component costs, to calculate the cost of making smartphones. They attacked the Galaxy S6 edge in its 64GB version.
For information, the iPhone 6 and More iPhone 6, cost $ 247, respectively (about 230 euros) and 263 dollars (250 euros) to build. For the Galaxy S6 edge in its 64GB version, you’ll see that the cost is quite high.
Let’s start with the Super AMOLED qHD screen with its definition and its curved edges, $ 85. Then we find the Samsung Exynos 7420 processor with 14nm production process with an estimated cost of $ 29.50, and 3 GB of RAM (DDR4) for $ 27, and 64GB of flash memory for $ 25. Note that all these components are manufactured by Samsung, the Galaxy S6 edge was already removed.
A total of US $ 290, about 272 euros. We are far from 949 euros requested in store, however, we must add many costs: R & amp; D, transport, distribution, marketing and communication. Note especially that the Galaxy S6 edge is more expensive to build than the iPhone 6.
