The new Samsung Galaxy S4 was presented a few days ago , but already has all the spotlight on himself. Many users do not convince the materials used by the Korean company for the realization of their devices, but a recent report shows that the internal components of the new smartphone Samsung have a total cost greater than those of 'iPhone 5.
Just because the new Galaxy is made of plastic, does not mean that it is necessarily cheap. The researchers at IHS have recently published a report estimating the costs of production of the new top of the range smartphone Korean, and the results are really interesting. The HSPA + version has an estimated cost of production of about $ 236, while the LTE version of the estimate is $ 233.
If we also consider the cost of labor, equal to $ 8.50 per device, the version of HSPA + increased to $ 244, while the LTE version to $ 241. Now you may wonder why the LTE version costs less than HSPA +, and the earthworks in fact, researchers say that LTE is used in configuring a processor less expensive than the other version.
All this can be compared with the costs of production of an iPhone 5 16GB, which are around $ 207. As you can see the cost of production of the Galaxy S4 is significantly higher compared to the smartphone made in Cupertino. Probably the amazing resolution and pixel density of the new screen adopted by Samsung has a key role in this context, but it is still curious that despite being made of less costly materials, is the same more expensive to manufacture.
