An as-yet unpublish report from IHS has reveal that it cost Samsung almost $255 in component and built cost of Samsung Galaxy S7, which is really close to the same amount use last year on the Samsung Galaxy S6 according to RE/Code which clearly indicating that high-end materials are dropping in price.

Surprisingly, the most expensive component inside the Samsung Galaxy S7 is the Qualcomm’s latest flagship processor. The quad-core Snapdragon 820 processor costs Samsung $62 according to IHS’ teardown and analysis. Which take almost the Quarter of the Samsung Galaxy S7 component and build cost.

Another Component mentioned in the Re/Code report is the Samsung Galaxy S7 Camera unit, Though some are ship with Sony sensor while other are ship with samsung made. But the camera unit still cost Samsung $13.70 each Samsung Galaxy S7 Phone. Though according to the report Samsung will be making huge profit on each phone sold, the phone is sold in the US for $670.

No other component mention so far by Re/code, But you will be updated once the full report is published later today.

Is the phone Over Hyped?

And it it sold double the price?

Good for them. Samsung spend more money on adverts than any other phone maker even though they are the no 1 phone maker in the world. They even just signed Lil Wayne to make commercial for them. Even at that the price of their flagship phones is within the same range as every other flagship phones from the big guns. Even cheaper than Iphones.
