Chris may have put the cat amongst the pigeons somewhat with his posting Apple iPhone vs Google Nexus One: iPhone Wins First Round [Or Why Shouldn’t You Buy a Nexus One Android Smartphone Now] but did kyou know that the Google Nexus One smartphone is reportedly cheaper, in terms of the raw cost of components, than the iPhone?
According to a report by iSuppli this is indeed the case with the Nexus One coming in with, they say (post analysis of its raw components) a manufacturing raw material cost of some $174 whilst the iPhone – specifically the iPhone 3GS – reportedly comes in at some $179.
Of course the Nexus One packs in newer components such as a faster CPU and a larger AMOLED touchscreen display, but, thanks to sporting just 4GB of memory courtesy of a microSD card versus the minimum 16GB of onboard capacity offered up by the iPhone 3GS the iPhone apparently comes in at a slightly higher cost in terms of materials.
