Marques, I work for a large aerospace engineering firm and I can give you some insights into how the BOM (Bill of Materials) works although exact numbers for each smartphone components/parts will be hard to come by since those are private "negotiated rates" with each supplier. For example if you just google "Apple iPhone 12 BOM" you will usually get an estimate of how much each iPhone costs Apple (about 300-400 bucks) to make but they don’t consider "negotiated rates" which are about 30%-40% lower. Anyway, if you have any manufacturing questions I’d be happy to share what I know! Love your channel! Keep up the excellent work!
It’s not that hard. Make everything decent, make the screen great, and leave out stuff that people on a budget don’t care about (too many camera sensors, wireless charging, glass and metal everything, overly large dimensions, an official IP rating, software skins over base android, face unlock/fingerprint sensor, etc). Put in the future-proofing stuff that people on a budget actually care about that’s missing from high end phones for no reason (headphone jack, expandable memory slot, etc)

Most important feature is Spec… Performance is a key
A52 is one phone with no compromises
Same thing but with 5G:

Dude, we get cheap smartphones ain’t the demographic you cover but do it man! Review Redmi k40, even realme x7 or something. Compare it to a flagship (Ik that’s too much but hey just trying).
Hey Marquis/my name is Marcus and I would spend three bucks on marketing, then I would spend six bucks on the battery. And then 10 bucks on the software and seven bucks on the specs that’s awesome we’ll put in the cameras LOL

Why does everyone care about the cameras so much. Least important thing on a phone.
If it was 200 tot make a smartphone than
€40 display
€30 specs
€30 camera
€26 battery
€24 design
€46 software
€4 marketing
Budget phone with s amoled instead of Ips
Dave is straight into point, spend everything on marketing and sell the already existing shit
Camera matters absolutely 0 to me and most of the people i know lol
Isn’t specs and hardware the same?

Yep that seems like a pretty good phone
I got a 130$ worth like twice like it
Watching this video from poco x2 😬 apart from camera, it has all the essential specs
The A series find THIS important: awesome screen, awesome camera, long lasting battery life
*Redmi Note 10 Pro is the perfect smartphone for $260*
€17 smartphone

Screen: 3 Coz for a budget phone, 90 Hz screen is great, moreover there aren’t many apps that can make use of that much refresh rate
Specs: 4, Good Specs is the key, We need powerful device with best SOC we can get
Camera:2 Average camera is more than enough and more over 60 mpx in $200 is not even close to 48 mpx camera of $600 device- Its more of gimmick than actual quality
Battery: 3 with good specs and screen, good battery is important
Hardware: 2 must not be chromium, but good quality plastic such as that of samsung M series is more than ok
Software: 2 Must not be that great, after all software updates and little twics can fix these issue, more over its good SOC can make the software run great, And i dont mind bloat ware that much
Market: 1 When phone have great specs at low value, than not much marketing required. After all most people rely on You tube vedios for the validation over some ads or fliers
When a company like Samsung or honor makes a budget phone u automatically get near flagship level software
The bored button exclusively pine because typhoon unsurprisingly look but a creepy pleasure. merciful, petite wrench
Just make trash software and tell everyone to use a different launcher *just saved $4*
Redmi note 10 pro
And realme 8 and 7 pro
120hz super amoled
Sd 732 and helio g95t
33 and 66 watt charger in box and etc for 200-230$😂
the D2D way ftw
Actually pretty easy so u get a meh screen
So 2 on screen
Then 2 specs not a lot of people care about this but u should also not just make it garbage that’s bad for specs like a SD 765g or something plus stock android should be enough
Then 3 battery
3 hardware
1 software (just get stock android and not spend a penny just making it worse) a lot of manufactures spend too much money on software at the end just making it worse spend nothing just license stock android which is clean and nice
Marketing 3 to get people to know the phone super important to sell the phone
Then camera 3
Which is pretty good cause people click a lot of photos and they deserve atlest a decent camera.
Basically nail the fundamentals
17 bucks:
Display: 3
Specs: 3
Camera: 3
Battery: 3
Design: 1

watching this on my "budget" phone black shark 3 with
– snapdragon 865 5g
– amoled 1080p 90hz hdr10+
– 270hz touch responsiveness
– 8gb ram 128gb storage
– dual front facing speakers
– amazing cameras(i dont really care about cameras)
– has more features than an iphone
for only $390 🙂
I have the pixel 3 xl rn I got it not that long ago and it’s perfect still in 2021
On my reason if you have a pretty good Software it’s gonna push your Camera and Battery very Hard, I mean look at the Pixel 5 (Camera) and the Huawei Smartphones (Battery)
My 17$ phone:
Display -3$
Camera-3$
Software-3$
Battery -3$
Spec-3$
