How much does Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra cost?

According to a new report, 40% of the price of the Galaxy S23 Ultra is spent on the parts used in it, and Samsung spends $469 to make each device of this flagship.

Company Counterpoint Research By publishing a report, it has estimated the cost of parts used in the most powerful current Samsung flagship. According to this report, the cost of only the parts and items used in the S23 Ultra reaches $469. Of course, in order to know the final profit of the Koreans, we must also consider the cost of research and development and operations such as marketing.

Galaxy S23 Ultra manufacturing cost

According to a recent report, the highest price that Samsung pays for a part in its flagship is related to the Snapdragon 8 generation 2, which itself consists of a processor, graphics processor and modem. The price of this part includes 35% of the total costs.

The second most expensive part of the Samsung flagship is its display. 18% of the total cost of Galaxy S23 Ultra parts is related to its 6.8-inch Dynamic AMOLED display, which is placed under Gorilla Glass Victus 2.

The next part that puts the most cost on Samsung’s hands is the camera, which gives itself 14% of the manufacturing cost. In this flagship, Samsung has used its own 200 megapixel main camera and 12 megapixel selfie camera, and the other cameras have been developed by Sony.

It is noteworthy that 33% of the manufacturing cost of the Galaxy S23 Ultra is related to the components developed by Samsung itself, which is surpassed only by Qualcomm with a cost of 35%.

Although the Galaxy S23 Ultra costs $469 to build, and Samsung sells it in the base version for $1,199, the difference between the build cost and the price is not a profit. All companies invest heavily in research and development as well as various operations such as marketing, and perhaps a figure close to the cost of manufacturing is spent on these items.
