The Google Pixel 7 Pro was one of the best smartphone to launch in 2022, with many buyers and reviewers shelling out high praises for this device. But it seems that Samsung also had a role to play in their success since around half of the phone’s components were made by the rival company.
A new report talked about how much it costs to manufacture one single unit of the Search Engine giant’s top end flagship model. For a simple answer, Google spends around 413 US Dollars for a single unit. This figure was calculated based on the pricing of components and other costs. However, this report also uncovered a very interesting detail. The 128GB variant of the Pixel 7 Pro has around half of its components being made by the South Korean tech giant, Samsung.
The company was the one who manufactured its tall 6.7 inch AMOLED display, which has a 2K resolution. This panel alone accounts for 20 percent of the Pixel 7 Pro’s total cost. But the screen isn’t the only major component sourced from Samsung. Google’s proprietary chipset on the Pixel 7 Pro, the Tensor G2 SoC, was developed in cooperation with Samsung, which adds another 7 percent in terms of cost.
Google’s new flagship has won the hearts of many for camera performance, and lo and behold, Samsung is also one of the suppliers for its rear cameras. The South Korean brand’s ISOCELL GN1 sensor can be found on both the Pixel 6 Pro and the Pixel 7 Pro. This isn’t the only sensor from Samsung, since its 5x telephoto lens and selfie camera is also made by the company.
