@@anouaressanoussi I'm sorry, but I don't agree. I understand that you don't need super latest high end phone. But, I have a Samsung J5 2016 for more than 2 years and trust me, the battery is the only thing that is good, since I don't use it that much. When it comes to memory, camera, processing, it's awful and honestly very painful to use. I understand that we are talking about a budget phone, but you should not only look at the battery. If I could switch between the specs, I would wan't a better processor on my phone then a good battery. Because battery is nothing if you have a very slow and poor phone that even the basic use of it makes you go crazy and mad.

The reason a phone is expensive is not the design and the camera Its the chipset

[@akanta5746]

No it's the supply chain and manufacturing costs. For example, China used to.be the main source of skills factory labor. But chinese labor costs have been skyrocketing and companies can't really pull out because youre making a smartphone not a T-shirt and moving to somewhere cheaper like Vietnam is not viable since the factory workers there are mostly unskilled. So that raised smartphone costs. Then.you have customs, taxes, shipping, and a.bevy of other bullahit. And chipsets are not the problem, the.components to build a flagship costs like 500 dollars. If oneplus, a company who spends virtually no dollars on stores or ads has to.hike their.phone up 200.bucks every year like 100 bucks are.coming from.labor.and.supply chain increases

[@waldonatorgr984]

I feel that Apple (if they wanted too) could go lower in prices. I mean, they make their own chips, haptics, speakers, software and more. So no need to buy from other manufacturers or have agreements and theoretically should cost less if you make most of your own components. Of course they get a few components such as glass from others, but Android software phones need to buy most of their components from other manufacturers and/or have licenses, contracts, agreements, etc. But I could be wrong.

[@purnimachakraborty9767]

But they won't because people are ready to sell their girlfriend and mother after selling their kidneys to get the latest and greatest iPhone. So why bother? Literally.

[@soumyadityaagarwalla1517]

Dude hide, the apple cops are coming for you.. in seriousness, apple is the company that makes 30% profit per phone, where others take hardly 10.. some companies like xiaomi did as low as 5% per device to gain market in budget range.. so they don't decrease the price cause they want money, not because their device making cost goes high..

Even Pixel is still too expensive. Poco X3 Pro has SD 870, 1080p 120Hz, 5000mAh and only costs $250. Granted, there is an ad in Xiaomi phones, but its money making potential is very low, and a lot of people have learned to change launchers to eliminate the ads.
