It's no secret that Samsung's curvy Galaxy S6 Edge (http://www.engadget.com/2015/04/02/samsung-galaxy-s6-and-s6-edge-review/) costs a pretty penny, but there's now a good explanation as to why. IHS estimates that the raw price of assembly for a 64GB Verizon model is $290. That's more expensive to make than not just the Galaxy S5 (http://www.engadget.com/2014/04/11/samsung-galaxy-s5-review/) ($256 when new), but also the 128GB iPhone 6 Plus (http://www.engadget.com/2014/09/16/iphone-6-and-6-plus-review/) ($263) -- if true, Samsung is giving up a lot of profit to make this exotic hardware affordable. The bendy AMOLED screen is unsurprisingly the costliest element here with an estimated $85 price, although the Exynos 7 processor ($30), 3GB of DDR4 memory ($27) and flash storage ($25) certainly aren't cheap.
