Recently, Counterpoint, a third-party research organization, published an evaluation on the cost of various parts of Samsung's flagship Galaxy Note 20 Ultra.
Counterpoint estimates that the comprehensive material cost of the Note 20 Ultra 128GB version is $549 (about 3753 yuan). Among them, the cost of X55 baseband and RF components reached US $97.2, and the cost of the screen part reached US $91.5, the highest among all parts. Snapdragon 865+, memory flash memory, and camera module cost US $57, US $61.5, and US $60.3 respectively, which accounted for the largest part of the material cost.
In Counterpoint's assessment, it can also be seen that Samsung makes the most money from these material costs, accounting for half of the share. After all, many screens, camera modules, and memory flash memory are developed by Samsung itself; The second is Qualcomm. After the arrival of the 5G era, the bundled sales of Snapdragon 865+and X55 baseband have made Qualcomm a lot of money.
Although the material cost of various parts of mobile phones is not equal to the comprehensive cost of mobile phones (including R&D, assembly, sales, etc.), it is impossible to simply calculate the profit of a single phone, and the manufacturer will certainly not disclose these trade secrets to consumers, the media and third-party organizations have always been willing to explore the material cost of some popular models, After all, we can still see how sincere the flagship models are in terms of materials and pricing. Compared with pricing, the Note 20 Ultra must belong to the category that makes a lot of money.
