After costing the components within the Blackberry Z10 including its display, processor, cameras, storage space, battery, communication chips, RAM, and other electronics. TechInsights have to come to a figure of around $154 for the blackberry Z10 with a breakdown of the cost below: ![](/27/3/Blackberry-Z10-2-.jpg)
"The 4.2-inch display for the Z10 costs around $26.50. The 1.5GHz dual-core Qualcomm processor
costs about $23.50. The 8MP rear-facing camera and 2MP front-facing
camera totals about $15. The 16GB internal storage costs around $9.00.
The other components, including the battery, communication chips, and
RAM total $21.00. Finally, the casing, as well as the other small
electronics included in the Z10 total around $59.00. All of this adds up
to $154″
When compared with the cost of manufacturing an iPhone 5 for around
$139 the Blackberry Z10 works out a little more expensive for
Blackberry, but then the Z1o is fitted with a larger screen, more RAM,
and a larger battery than Apple’s iPhone 5 smartphone.
