LeEco, is Indian. They made $250 phones,now for sale for $200, with a snapdragon 821 processor, that was more powerful than the $800 Samsung Galaxy S7 variants with Snapdragon 820.
Apple's iPhone 7, is very similar in technology.
Apple takes well over the 50% margin they're supposed to make.
And so does nearly any cellphone manufacturer that prices any phone over $350.
The most expensive part of a phone isn't the phone itself, but packaging and shipping, and storing.
Well, nowadays the phone is. But not because they cost $1k, but because the price is grossly inflated.
Pair that with non removable batteries, and lower prices phones with lacking ram, and you have a mishmash of lousy engineered waste products.
We're not talking about $20 phones here,
We're talking about a bi-annual cost of $800 or more, just to be able to be on the internet.
Because in reality, who still uses a phone to call, with all that social media and stuff?
