Samsung officially released the new flagship Galaxy S9 of the Galaxy S series earlier. The starting price of the Galaxy S9 version of the national bank is up to 5799 yuan, which is more expensive than the starting price of 5688 yuan of the Galaxy S8 released last year. On the eve of the upcoming global launch, its material cost has been estimated as always.

The material cost price of the Galaxy S8 released by Samsung last year was 326.5 US dollars (about 2070 yuan). According to the survey of the material cost of the Samsung S9 conducted by TechInsights, a well-known research institution, the overall cost of the Galaxy S8 has increased a lot compared with last year's S8. The material cost of Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus released this year has reached 379 dollars (about 2400 yuan), while the cost of S8 Plus with similar configuration last year was about 342 dollars (about 2160 yuan). Not surprisingly, the most expensive part in the material cost is still the curved screen, which costs up to $72.5. However, the screen of S9 Plus is cheaper than that of S8, which costs $76.5, and Note 8, which costs $82.

For a mobile phone with a domestic starting price of 5799 yuan and a top configuration of up to 7599 yuan, after deducting the estimated material cost, Samsung's gross margin is very high, approaching 60%, while the gross margin of iPhone X is only 61%. The gap between the two is very small. However, this is also the material cost of the production of a mobile phone. The cost of many links such as design, logistics, after-sales and so on has not been added, and these expenditures are also large.
