The guys over at iSuppli have been calculating the costs of the new Samsung Galaxy Tab Android tablet, and it seems it costs around $205 in parts, although it probably costs a fair bit more to make when you take into account the labour and development involved in it.
The Samsung Galaxy Tab sells for around $600, so even when you take into account all the other costs, Samsung are still making a healthy profit on each one sold.
The Galaxy Tab carries a Bill of Materials (BOM) of $205.22, significantly less than iSuppli’s $264.27 estimate for the 16Gbyte 3G version of the iPad, based on the preliminary results of a dissection conducted by iSuppli’s Teardown Analysis service. However, the reduced cost is largely the result of Galaxy’s smaller and lower resolution display compared to the iPad.
Head on over to iSuppli for a full list of what is inside the new Samsung Galaxy Tab. Have a look and our article on Android vs iPhone to see which smartphone and mobile platform is best for you.
