The Galaxy S23 Ultra is the top-end Android best seller in the world and now Counterpoint Research has decided to do a survey to estimate how much Samsung spends to produce it. The model reviewed was the Galaxy S23 Ultra with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage, currently sold for $1,199 in the US.

As we can see above, the graph informs that most (35%) of the cost of the device is made up of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy processor. In second place is the screen with 18% and the other miscellaneous components are in third place with 15% of the total cost to manufacture the Galaxy S23 Ultra.

The total cost to manufacture a Galaxy S23 Ultra estimated by Counterpoint Research is US$ 469. It is interesting to note that Samsung managed to reduce storage and screen costs, as it is the exclusive supplier for its own cell phones.

The same trend is seen in the Galaxy S23 Ultra camera sensors, as the 200 megapixel wide-angle sensor and the 12 MP selfie sensor are produced by the South Korean, while Sony is responsible for the 12 MP ultrawide, telephoto sensors 10 MP and 10 MP periscope.

Samsung is also responsible for the battery, while ATL provides the cellular antenna, STM is responsible for various sensors such as laser autofocus, accelerometer, gyroscope, barometer and touch panel controller.

It is worth remembering that other costs such as research, device development, advertising, distribution logistics and many others were not included in these statistics, so Samsung’s net profit margin tends to be lower.
