We estimate this increase in cost is directly related to the improved (and larger display module of 5.7” versus the previous version at 5.5”) and the usage of the Qualcomm MSM8974 baseband/applications processor. Other significant improvements are also noted in the NAND and SDRAM where the amount of memory has increased by 100% and 50% respectively.
