A couple of days ago, South Korean manufacturing giant, Samsung, released its latest flagship series, Galaxy S10 series. Today, Tech Insights analyzed the Samsung Galaxy S10+ (Exynos 9820, SM-G975F/DS) and summarized the BOM (material) cost. The report shows that the 8GB+128GB version manufacturing price is $420 which is about 42% of its $999 retail price. Of course, although the assembly, auxiliary materials, and testing costs are considered, the BOM cost analysis is for reference only. After all, it also condenses the investment in R&D, logistics, manpower, and enterprise propaganda. It cannot be simply assumed that the profit of S10+ can reach 50%.
