Due to the increase in chipset production costs, companies like Vivo are forced to increase the prices of their devices, which has already led to a 7.5% increase in the price of the new X200 series models.
Rising processor prices will also affect Snapdragon 8 Gen 4, which will be introduced soon.
While the Dimensity 9400 is cheaper than its Qualcomm rival, it’s still 20% more expensive than its predecessor, the Dimensity 9300, at $155 per chip.
Due to the complexity of producing 3nm chips and the need to remain competitive, manufacturers are forced to increase prices of flagship devices, which could further impact the final cost of smartphones in the future.
