There are various factors that drive the cost of 5G smartphones. As the technology is still in its nascent stage, smartphone makers need to add a separate baseband, RF antennas, and passive filters for 5G to work. But there are other factors, such as high refresh rate displays, bigger batteries and multiple camera setups that drive the cost of 5G smartphones. 

In the latest episode of ‘The Counterpoint Podcast’, host Peter Richardson is joined by analyst Shobhit Srivastava and Ethan Qi to discuss factors that are driving the Bill of Material (BoM) costs of 5G smartphones. In the discussion, we deep dive into differences between Sub-6GHz and mmWave implementations, and the additional costs that are involved with mmWave. We also touched upon the role of component vendors in bringing down the cost and more.
