@bountybot 100 usdc if someone can get me information about how much the first version of the solana phone cost to develop and ship

The price of the Solana Saga smartphone was $1,000 upon its release but slid 40% to $599 after four months into its release.

Shipping costs are not provided. Most of the time, shipping fees are based on shipping methods and locations with ongoing promotions.

Hey y’all, I’m talking about how much money the company spent to develop and release the first version not how much a phone costs. How is the solana phone structured with regard to cost to develop cost of the distribution agreement with the hardware company etc.

Oh alright there  are no specific details available about the development and shipping costs of the Solana phone, with most information focusing on its retail price.

Given that OSOM was founded by ex-Essential Phone employees, the development costs for the Solana Saga are likely in the range of $5 million to $10 million.

For manufacturing, the unit cost could be around $300 to $500 per phone, assuming similar high-quality standards to the Essential Phone.

Overall, the total cost for development, manufacturing, and marketing of the Solana Saga could exceed $20 million to $30 million, based on industry standards.
