Here's how much the Samsung Galaxy S8 costs to make

Samsung's latest smartphones, the Galaxy S8 and S8+ have shown us how it should bring back the lost trust for a brand that has gone through the entire Galaxy Note 7 debacle six months ago. The entire world waited for six months, and each and every member is definitely impressed with the phone. 

According to the data released by analytics firm IHS Markit on April 20, its costs $307.5 to Samsung for building a single unit of the Galaxy S8 and that's way higher than the Apple iPhone 7. To be precise, it is nearly $82.70 more than the iPhone 7 manufacturing costs. 


Also, the firm revealed that the Galaxy S8 is the most expensive smartphone to build. Sadly, the firm did not reveal the manufacturing cost of Galaxy S8+. If it does, then surely, the S8+ would have been the most expensive one. 

The Galaxy S8 and S8+ comes with an innovative edge-to-edge display, top notch hardware, and great cameras as well. Certainly, the phones are a great deal to watch out for.
