Counterpoint Research has released a breakdown of the Google Pixel 7 Pro BoM (bill of materials). According to analysts, 51% of the device is made from Samsung components, followed by 7% from its own products and 5% from Micron.

The most expensive single component is the 6.7-inch AMOLED LTPO, which accounts for nearly 20% of the Pixel’s total manufacturing cost. Samsung also built the ISOCELL GN1 sensor for the 50MP main camera, LSI image sensors for the periscope and selfie cameras, and the entire cellular communication system: 5G baseband, transceivers, power trackers for sub-6GHz .

Counterpoint: Half of the Google Pixel 7 Pro is made up of Samsung components

The Pixel 7 Pro, as reviewed by Counterpoint, comes with 12GB of LPDDR5 RAM, jointly provided by Micron and Samsung – Google uses both vendors. The 128GB storage chip is also from South Korea but the manufacturer is SK Hynix.

Skyworks and Murata are the biggest beneficiaries of the RF front-end subsystem. The former provided the Tx module, a low-band PAMiD module, two integrated 5G UHB PA modules, and other cellular and Wi-Fi solutions. The latter provides the mmWave module and SAW filters, although it is enabled together with Samsung.

The battery has a capacity of 5,000mAh, rated at 19.25Wh. It is packaged by Sunwoda Electronic and supplied by ATL, while the fast charging IC (integrated circuit) is from NXP and the wireless charging IC is from IDT.

The total cost of manufacturing a 12/128GB version of the Pixel 7 Pro is estimated at $413. The phone’s retail price was $899 at launch, but it’s currently priced at $749 on the Google Store.
