Samsung Galaxy S21 series costs less than the Galaxy S20 lineup: Counterpoint

The Galaxy S21 series is the latest flagship offering from Samsung launched back in January. This is the premium range of smartphones that offer top-notch hardware as well as software including Exynos 2100/Snapdragon 888 processor, One UI 3.1 on the top of Android 11 OS, iconic camera capabilities, and much more.

However, the top-tier device of this series, Galaxy S21 Ultra costs 7% lesser than its predecessor, in terms of manufacturing. Now to prove this fact, a new analysis just surfaced on the Counterpoint research that claims, Samsung has an optimized cost structure with the devices falling between 400 to 600 US Dollars.

Moreover, the research also disclosed that Samsung’s ecosystem contributed as high as 63 percent of the total BoM (bill of materials) cost for the international edition of S21 devices. Therefore, the Korean tech giant also achieved some great sales numbers in markets such as Europe and North America.

Meanwhile, there are many reasons which lead to the cost-effectiveness of S21 phones but the one that is quite highlighting is the use of an in-house Exynos 2100 processor for some non-European markets including India.

Alongside, the integrated 5G modem in the main chipset also helps the company to follow this tradition, led to packing these handsets at a justified price with flagship goodies.

“In line with the price drops, Samsung managed to deftly balance the performance versus cost. It made a significant improvement in computing power with the 5nm process-based mobile platforms, either Snapdragon 888 or Exynos 2100 depending on the sales market, and also introduced a refreshed design for the rear camera bump” Research Analyst Parv Sharma said.

Record sales number of the Galaxy S21 smartphones

While the device cost lower to produce, S21 smartphones also saw great sales in markets such as India, the US, North America, and more. The series sales volume in February alone was 22 percent higher than the 2019 Galaxy S20 series, reaching over 3.4 million units in overall shipments.

Besides, some recent reports clearly mentioned that this episode of record-breaking sales will continue as usual. However, some new records are set to broken in the coming days when the Galaxy S22 arrives at the end of this year or maybe in January 2022.
