Xiaomi Mi 10: See how much it costs to build - Is the sale price justified?

Have you really wondered how much it costs to build? Mi 10 5G in Xiaomi;

ΣChina, its price Mi 10 5G amounts to 573$, while the price of its top version We 10 Pro it reaches them 673$.

Following the announcement of Xiaomi flagships and the announcement of the prices they will have, a wave of indignation swept the network from the company's fans, about the increased prices they have, because no matter how we do it, the company's new high-tech smartphones are about $ 140 more expensive than their predecessors.

For its part, the company is trying to convince its disgruntled followers that the higher prices are the result of the many improvements and new features that have been added to the devices, and that the pricing of the devices has nothing to do with trying to increase the profit margin that many claim.

How much can the Mi 10 5G really cost?

Ο networked locus Techinsights, did a teardown at Mi 10 5G with 12 / 256 GB to calculate the estimated cost of the device components. This type of cost assessment is usually done on its flagship flagships Apple, and Samsung, in order to determine the degree of greed of these companies.

But rising prices for My 10 of Xiaomi gave rise to Techinsights to carefully examine the cost of the components used in the device, to determine whether the actual price of the device is justified by its manufacturing cost.

So according to Techinsights, its construction cost My 10 of Xiaomi amounts to 440 dollars, when respectively and for reasons of comparison, its cost iPhone 11 Pro Max with 512 GB ROM amounts to 490,50 dollars, and sold on United States against 1,184 dollars.

When calculating the total cost of the device, of course, development costs, promotion, taxes and other expenses were not taken into account. Therefore, you should not believe that when Xiaomi sells it My 10 in China for $ 670, the company puts $ 230 as a profit in its "pocket".

It seems from the above that the Xiaomi continues to not have a large percentage of profit from the sales of its flagships, and its profit margin continues to be much lower than other manufacturers.
