The component cost of Samsung Galaxy S8 analyzed and released by IHS Markit last week surprised us with the highest costs among the high-end smartphones across the globe, way higher than that of iPhone 7 and others.

Yesterday afternoon, a new IHS Markit report with detailed breakdowns released by insider @Kevin Wang’s diary via his official Weibo account also confirmed this. Samsung Galaxy S8 topped number one with $307.5 for Bill of Materials (BOM) and manufacturing costs.

Analyst Pan Jiutang reposted and claimed that, among the over $300 BOM cost, the relatively expensive ones including display / touch screen, processor, memory, camera module, and battery are the ones among Samsung’s product portfolios, of which over $200 can be supplied by Samsung internally.

Pan speculated that Snapdragon 835 system in S8 costs over $60, and 64/128GB UFS flash memory near $24 and $34 respectively (which will be $21 and $40 for the capacity of eMMC); LPDDR4x DRAM, 4/6GB estimated at $20 and $35 respectively.

Chinese phones’ key components, however, are all subject to external supply except Huawei’s Kirin processors that can fulfill its own needs and Xiaomi’s processor just hitting the market.

It is therefore obviously that Chinese phones still have a long way to go if they are to surpass Samsung.

Meizu finally revealed its new family member, Meizu E2, yesterday in China featuring four straight-lined unique LEDs that can alternate cool and warm colors, making it the first to debut a smartphone with such a LED flash arrangement.

Coming together with the phone is this innovative case named Hi Case that works perfectly with the rear flashlight with 15 styles of custom flashlight effects, covering WeChat message, red packets, phone calls, messages, etc. The cool and warm colors of the flashlight can be demonstrated in any flashing effects as you like, to notify you different types of incoming information.

What makes it more standout is the Meizu logo on the back of this Hi Case that can shine like the Apple logo on MacBook. Making phone calls wearing such a case will be definitely eye catching.

Xiaomi Mi 6 is officially open for sale tomorrow, but with only jet black variant available.
Being the first Snapdragon 835 powered phone from a Chinese manufacturer, its launch on April 19 revealed that the phone will come with five color variants to meet various Mi fans’ needs. However, a newly released poster on Xiaomi’s Weibo account this morning confirms that Xiaomi Mi 6 will be only available in jet black on sale tomorrow, different from the previously claimed ceramic black. It comes at options of 6GB+64GB and 6GB+128GB, and at the prices of 2,499 Yuan (~$363) and 2,899 Yuan (~$421) respectively.

This means it will be extremely hard to get hold of a Mi 6 tomorrow. What makes this worse is the previous rumors saying there would be only a total of 80,000 units available online for the sales tomorrow. So don’t keep your hopes too high for the first flash sale.
