According to a report from The Wall Street Journal, Galaxy S6 to Galaxy S6 Edge are more than just technological achievements for Samsung. After the release of its flagships, which do not support memory cards but only have built-in hard memory, Samsung is pushing its profits to decent heights compared to rival Apple.
As we all already know, Samsung offers its S6 and S6 Edge models in three versions, with a capacity of 32GB, 64GB and 128GB. Each costs $100 more than the lower-capacity model. However, Samsung itself costs only about $64 more to produce the 13GB model than the 32GB model and about $26 more for the 128GB model. This means that for every single piece sold Galaxy The S6 and S6 edge will set Samsung back $87 for the 64GB model and $128 for the XNUMXGB model. These estimates were made by Andrew Rassweiler, director of research and analysis for IHS Technology.
From a single piece sold Galaxy S6 Edge therefore Samsung will earn approx. $76. IHS Technology also pointed out the fact that each one Galaxy The higher-capacity S6 Edge sells for about $100 more than the base model, even though Samsung only costs $24 more to make. In the image below we see the estimated cost of the components Galaxy S6 edge, which is approximately $290,45, making this phone the most expensive Samsung model ever. On the other hand, you still have to factor in logistics, labor, licensing fees, and other things that further increase the cost of production.
Although Samsung has built a position for high earnings from the flagship Galaxy The S6 edge, which starts selling here for €850, will probably never be able to achieve the same profit as its rival – Apple, which has become the most valuable company in the world. Production iPhone 6 Plus with 64 GB memory costs Apple roughly $50 less than the Samsung, and also retails for $50 less.
