Apr 27, 2021

The cost of producing a Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G costs about 533 US Dollars, which is around 7 percent lesser in comparison to its predecessor, the Galaxy S20 Ultra 5G, as per a BoM analysis.

The analysis arrives from Counterpoint Research, which stated that the Galaxy S21 series has an optimized cost structure with the devices’ cost falling between 400 to 600 US Dollars. The reduction in cost is also helped by the integrated 5G modem in the main chipset, which simplifies the new system and helps bring the cost down. Furthermore, the South Korean tech giant adopting the in house Exynos 2100 processor also enables more cost effectiveness.

Samsung’s ecosystem contributed as high as 63 percent of the total BoM (bill of materials) cost for the international edition. While the device cost lower to produce, it also saw great sales in markets such as Europe and North America. The series overall sales volume in February alone was 22 percent higher than the 2019 Galaxy S20 series, reaching over 3.4 million units in shipments. The report added that the Galaxy S21 and Galaxy S21+ were the most cost oriented models, with BoM cost drops by about 12 to 13 percent than their predecessor, the Galaxy S20 and Galaxy S20+.

Parv Sharma, research analyst, commented on aggressive pricing of the Galaxy S21 series stating that, “In line with the price drops, Samsung managed to deftly balance the performance versus cost. It made a significant improvement in computing power with the 5nm process-based mobile platforms, either Snapdragon 888 or Exynos 2100 depending on the sales market, and also introduced a refreshed design for the rear camera bump.”

South Korean tech powerhouse Samsung is expected to hold the Galaxy Unpacked event on April 28 which is just days away. One of the products the tech giant is expected to unveil is the Galaxy Book Go. Now, expected specs of the entry-level notebook have appeared online ahead of the launch.

The details shared by WinFuture.de shows that the Galaxy Book Go will be the first ARM notebook to run on the Windows 10 operating system and offers several excellent features for its price. The laptop is said to adopt a retail price of around 449 Euros ($542) in Europe. The notebook will hit the US market for a starting price of $349 which should be for the non-LTE model.

Specs-wise, the Samsung Galaxy Book Go will feature a 14-inch HD display on an LCD screen. The laptop is LTE-enabled and weighs just 1.39kg. There are speculations that the LTE-capable version of the laptop will only be available in Germany, although no definitive statement has come out from Samsung in that regard. If the LTE version is specifically for the German market, then there would be other variants available to other markets.

The LTE version of the Samsung Galaxy Book Go has an LTE modem, USB multi ports with support for USB 2.0, Type-C, and USB 3.2, and Bluetooth 5.1 compatibility. The charging of the notebook’s battery is via the USB Type-C port, indicating fast charging capability, and the battery can last up to 18 hours on a full charge. The massive battery power of the notebook will surely endear it to a broad segment of the market, as its performance is far beyond the average.

Other expected features of the Galaxy Book Go include a fingerprint reader for customized unlocking of the laptop, a 720p camera, 4GB of RAM, and 128GB of internal memory which can be expanded to 1TB via a microSD card slot. The small size of the RAM and the fact that it cannot be extended may be a drawback of the Galaxy Book Go, although the present 4GB RAM is a bit decent for many applications. The processor is the ARM-based Qualcomm Snapdragon 7c, with eight computing cores and an integrated LTE modem.

The Samsung Galaxy Book Go can be used as a portable business companion that could be used while on the move without the fear of unavailability of electricity supply. The LTE-enabled version is expected to go on sale in Germany.
