Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 folding screen phone disassembly report: hardware cost accounts for 40%, lower than iPhone 14 Pro Max

CTOnews.com, December 12, according to the Nikkei Shimbun, according to the Nikkei Shimbun and Tokyo professional disassembly agency Fomalhaut Techno Solutions's report on the disassembly of Samsung's latest folding machine Galaxy Z Fold 4, its parts cost is estimated at $670, less than 40% of the sales price of the iPhone 14 Pro Max hardware cost is 46% of the sales price.

The report shows that Galaxy Z Fold 4 uses a lot of three-star components and other South Korean hardware, which makes its supply chain more stable and cost-effective.

The figure learned from Fomalhaut Techno SolutionsCTOnews.com that in terms of cost, the ratio of Fold 4 local parts is about 50%, which is twice that of iPhone, and the proportion of local parts is on the high side. As manufacturers such as Apple try to diversify their supply chains and reduce geopolitical risks, Samsung is benefiting from strong domestic procurement, which ensures a stable supply of parts and drives down costs.
