I don't know if you've ever wondered, why is flagship mobile phone expensive? Where is it expensive? And cheap and affordable entry-level mobile phones, how much lower can the cost than flagship mobile phones? And between the affordable mid-range mobile phones, what is the cost of each part?
If you have paid attention to the specific model warranty repair parts reference quotation listed on the official website of each brand, you may be able to get a glimpse of the approximate cost of each part of the hardware of a certain machine, and even answer the above questions.
Therefore, I have sorted out the maintenance prices of the models released by major brands since April this year, and you may be able to find some information that you usually can't see.

Regardless of positioning, the motherboard is the largest head of mobile phone cost, especially for entry-level and mid-range machines; Among them, various SoCs, memory, flash memory and other chips are integrated on the motherboard, so the part quotation will be different for different capacity versions. The cost of the camera can be pressed, but there are exceptions, such as the "Real Me 11" series, although it is close to the people, the top "Real Me 11 Pro+" is willing to give the image a book, and part of the cost of the main camera is even almost double that of the "Real Me 11 Pro" - it can be seen that the image is an important selling point of the Real Me Pro+.

Huawei's three nova 11 series this year, although they all use 778G, the price dimension span is quite large, as far as the maintenance quotation is concerned, the price difference of the motherboard is not large, mainly pulling the gap on the screen, especially the cost of Kunlun glass will be relatively higher; Also, in particular, the rear camera of the Ultra also costs significantly more.

Xiaomi 13 Ultra and Xiaomi Civi 3 are two completely different positioning machines, in addition to parts such as speakers, the cost of 13 Ultra is overall higher than that of Civi 3, especially the cost of the screen, which has reached 4 figures, and the main image, 13 Ultra's 4 camera system is a whole module, so the price of maintenance is also very high, which is almost 5 times that of all the rear cameras of Civi 3 combined, and their price gap is only more than 2 times - so 13 Ultra is Xiaomi's face, but its "earning power" may not be as good as Civi 3.

The above two folding screen mobile phones, it can be seen that the cost of its motherboard and inner screen is much higher than that of ordinary flagship mobile phones, and the statement that "breaking an inner screen = losing a straight flagship" is really not a joke. In addition, in fact, the cost of the camera of the folding screen is actually not high, and it is basically close to the ordinary mid-range light flagship below.

The price segment of X90s and iQOO 11S above is very close, but from the perspective of parts cost, it can actually be seen that the two are the same and different in positioning: first of all, the screens of both are the top in this positioning, and the cost is very high; However, the X90s is obviously more focused on image performance, and the cost of the design will be relatively higher, while the iQOO 11S is more economical in terms of battery and charging.

This is the first time that Moto has divided the razr series into two gears, the top equipped razr 40 Ultra is mainly a larger special-shaped external screen, compared to vivo X Flip, razr 40 Ultra's external screen actually accounts for a larger proportion, but the external screen maintenance price is not more expensive. In addition, the cost of their motherboards is also relatively low, which also helps the price of vertical folding screen mobile phones to further decline.
The above is to sort out the official warranty maintenance cost of new machines of various brands in the past 3 months, in fact, like the recently released Red Devil 8S Pro series, the official has not yet given a corresponding quotation, so it will be skipped here for the time being. I don't know what clues and brand care can be seen from the above quotation? Welcome to discuss with you in the comment area.
