From that site: 1+: $9.87257 10+: $9.31375 100+: $8.78655 500+: $8.28920 1000+: $7.82000 That is absurdly cheap, and you can be sure with million-unit orders they're probably getting half that price and working direct with the manufacturer. $7.82 per unit @ 1000 for that feature set[1] brings it into the realm of hobbyists to make their own phones. Order the chips, prototype PCB, battery, charger circuit, low-res touchscreen , and mounts for USB+SD+audio from China and get them within a week. 3D print some cases, spend 20 days trying to get video output working on the completely undocumented Chinese display, boom. Made your own functional (but ugly and bad) phone for < $35. [1]: https://www.qualcomm.com/products/qualcomm-205-mobile-platform https://www.qualcomm.com/products/qualcomm-205-mobile-platfo...
