Samsung's Galaxy S25 Ultra apparently costs a little more to make than the S24 Ultra. Here's the reason for this increased cost.

The Galaxy S25 Ultra costs more to make than the S24 Ultra, mainly due to pricier chipsets and slightly higher memory prices.

The Galaxy S25 Ultra is Samsung’s top-tier phone right now, though not the priciest since that title still goes to the Galaxy Z Fold models. While it sticks with the same $1,299 starting price as last year, a new report shows it’s actually more expensive for Samsung to build than the Galaxy S24 Ultra.
