The component experts at iSuppli have shown that the bill of materials for
the 8GB Nexus 7 is about $152 or about $160 with manufacturing cost included
. The 16GB model costs $167, with manufacturing included. So, in spite of
early speculation, Google does make money of the Nexus 7, even of the basic
model.
Adding 16GB of storage space shouldn’t cost too much. Assuming that Asus is
able to get storage for 70 cents per gigabyte (which is how much Amazon
pays), the bump in storage would cost a little over $11.
Moving to connectivity, Nvidia has finally managed to integrate LTE radio on
its Tegra 3 chips, as the One X+ shows us. I am not sure how much more does
the Tegra 3+ chip cost compared to the first generation, but I don’t think
it’s more than $10 (a discrete smartphone baseband chip costs about that
much).
However, the MoDaCo rumor only mentioned 3G and not LTE, so I don’t think
that Google and Asus will bring out an LTE version of the Nexus 7. More
likely, they will add a 3G baseband chip, which shouldn’t increase the
manufacturing cost of the end product by more than $10.
Drawing the line, a 3G-enabled Nexus 7 with 32GB of storage shouldn’t cost
Asus and Google more than $190 to produce.
And keep in mind that economies of scale are working to decrease the
manufacturing cost. Barron’s Tiernan Ray reported today that the orders for
the Nexus 7 have been increased twice in the last three months, with the
current “build plans” reaching 8 million units, versus the previous 6
million. These figures tell us that Asus is likely able to get better deals
on components, thus lowering the final bill.
Finally, the $25 Play Store credit that early Nexus 7 customers received has
ended last weekend, so Google will save some money from there as well.
It might be a good idea to wait before buying a Nexus 7
All of the above is just speculation, but I am confident that Google will
operate some sort of changes to the Nexus 7 come November.
If my line of thought is correct, Google will drop the 8GB Nexus 7 and slash
the prices of the 16GB and 32GB models. The 16GB would become the base
model and go for $199, while the Nexus 7 32GB will probably cost $249. If
Google decides to add 3G to the mix, the cellular equipped models will cost
slightly more.
If you are considering buying a Nexus 7 now, it might be a good idea to wait
for a few more weeks if you can. Provided that my previsions are correct,
Google should make an exciting announcement by the end of the month." | n*******y

"Google’s got a surprise coming up on October 29th, and now we might now
what it is. All of it. According to reports by The Next Web, it includes a
3G Nexus 7. Android 4.2, the new LG Nexus and maybe even some 10-inch tablet
talk." |
