Enjoy the p... moreYeah I couldn't agree more
I know it costs much more than the S7 Edge but I can't tell how well it selling.
The reason is that I have been told it is ordered online
So the thing is that after a 2 year contract, the upgrade phone accepts a bigger memory card and but despite this the bigger card costs less than the 2 year old card
You notice that it costs $100 between memory configurations on Apple
IPhones.
To Google's benefit it offers unlimited photo storage, so a partial benefit where Google 'offer' us better than Apple
I really hate the inflexibility of these phones as you have to work out what size memory your phone has to have and then pay $100 if you are already close.

There is no explanation why this google phone costs so much. Just no. This is first phone of google and for that price first must prove value. This takes years. On hardware side, this phone is nothing revolutionary judging by tear down videos, simply average and build quality is not that great as well as revolutionary camera how is told. It would be much better to have first started with lower price and meet customers which way they go.

AnonD-259152, 26 Oct 2016Foxcon charges $5 perbunit for assemblyThere is R&D, marketing ( putting huge posters and boards in NYC can cost quite a lot, + TV ads and other marketing stuff). The software department also gets a bit of money (optimization, keeping the phone free of bugs, and even if it is stock android, each phone is different and needs fixes, those are usually by the OEMs like Samsung, not Google, but here its a "phone by Google", so ....).
There are also tons of other things that add to the final bill, incliding the manufacturing cost. The rest of the price is, of course, some profit for the company, like all the other ones.

Hardly surprising when taking into account the volume Apple and Samsung move in comparison, things get cheaper.
