That’s a little more than the Galaxy S4. Which in comparison means the hardware costs does not = power, since the Galaxy S4 has higher specs and costs less to make, maybe some questions over the price !?
We don't think so because Motorola have changed the architecture of the handset and a considerable amount of development has gone into the phone - rather than throwing hardware at the handset hoping it will all work.
Also isn't the Samsung made in China ?! We would also argue the build quality on the S4 is suspect.
We still haven't seen the off plan / contract costs but if they are in the $500 / £350 mark then thats a good price for this handset due to its optimisation and customisation features.
