Mikkyboy10: Please, it's better you stick to a good-paying white collar job cuz it doesn't seem like business is your way oooh. *frown*. Well, I sell 100 phones for #150K = 15,000,000 and you sell 500 phones for #30k = 15,000,000. I'm richer in the sense that I got my own #15m from just 100 phones while yours is from 500 phones (with the same value). It's just logical !!! |

francis247: Thanks. Note that the post is about Smartphones being built for a very low price and selling for high prices. I stated it in the post that I'll use Samsung and Galaxy S5 as example which I did, I represented ALL expensive high-end phones with the Galaxy S5, which is exactly $256 to build. It's not that ALL the flagships were built with exactly $150, some were built for <$150 and some >$150 but most of them were built with $150 that's why I used $150.

Elparaiso: I can see your point but it's not really pointy. There's something we call AVERAGE which makes it possible to determine the exact price of each phone even if 1000 phones were advertised @ different prices & separately which isn't even like that. BTW, Samsung Ad no be beans ooh |

brainyack: You are now talking ! Everyone just think, spending money on ads is all about putting a banner on Nairaland or LindaIkeji and doing Facebook Ads, it's more than that. |

prezelThomas: Apple's case is entirely different. In Yoruba Language, they call companies like that 'Wobia or Olojukokoro' |

aywhy93: Front page? No o. You want more people to see the warped mode of thinking going on here? How hard can it be for guys here to understand that the individual cost of phone components isn't a true representative of the cost of production. This is something that occurs in virtually all sectors from telecommunications to the automobile industry. Heck go to any restaurant and demand that your bill should be N100 because that's how much the items on the plate cost. See how that will turn out. |

Bawss1: Give them components nd instruction manual. Maybe they think putting a phone together is like Lego duplos. ( one has to account for infantile thinking) 1 Like |

Bawss1: Wow, It took me few seconds to get what you mean by the bolded part but when I got it, I see a lot of sense in it, it's a good example for the ongoing topic. Nice one !!! We still have a lot of ignorant people in Nigeria when it comes to Tech and Mobile though 1 Like |

OEMs spend billions on research,marketing and paying workers heavily....they also pay other companies for using their intelletual property(eg, every android manufacturers pay microsoft 5 to 15 dollars for manufacturing android,since android was built on microsoft intellectual properties)......to compensate for dis,dey have to shoot d prize of dia devices up. |
