Huawei says memory chips add $200 to phone costs
Original: Huawei says memory chips add $200 to each phone, and prices will rise
Huawei says surging memory chip costs are adding about $200 to the price of each smartphone it produces, and warns that consumer prices will rise as a result. The comments point to tightening supply and higher costs across the memory market, with the company signalling that buyers will bear more of the expense in upcoming devices.
Why now: Memory chip prices are climbing industry-wide, and Huawei's public cost estimate signals smartphone price hikes for consumers.
