The Galaxy S8 costs more to manufacture than rivaling handsets
Samsung has not spared expenses in bringing the Galaxy S8 to fruition
IHS Markit hasn't gotten around to scrutinising the Galaxy S8+ costs as yet. With its larger, 6.2-inch display and higher-capacity battery, it's safe to assume the S8+ is the more expensive to produce—even moreso the elusive 6 GB RAM model.
From the Infinity Display and iris scanner to the Snapdragon 835 chipset as its driving force, Samsung has furnished the new Galaxy S8 with myriad tweaks across the board. The upgrade to 64 GB of base-level storage has also bumped Samsung's costs up, and given how much music, video, app and game content now available to hoard consume, this is a very welcome move.
Even with a hefty price tag, the S8 and S8+ look likely to be a major hit, which begs the question—are you joining the party? Let us know in the comments below and if you're still on the fence, be sure to check our review of the Galaxy S8 and S8+.
