They make a $2,600 smartphone?
I'd bet that about half the price is just the RAM soldered onto the thing
It's gonna be a premium for the folding feature or some other feature on that particular model
they list two other models that are considerably less expensive and have the same amount of RAM.
Can confirm recently got a box of 440 unsoldered Micron DDR5 memory ICs at work.
It was $140k. Not DIMMS but the chips soldered to the DIMM.
I think the foldables are all somewhere along those lines. New tech, and double the screen and such adds up.
