The Samsung galaxy S6 is not cheap, but is it cheap to manufacture? In other news, the Moto 360 is getting a nice discount and a new Lara Croft game is coming to mobile.

The price of making a Samsung Galaxy S6

The Samsung Galaxy S6 is expensive, especially the Edge version. We have to spend a pretty penny to get them, but did you know the actual cost of production is amazingly low? A new report is stating the Verizon Galaxy S6 Edge with 64 GB of internal storage is one of the most expensive phones to make, even pricier than iPhones.

This specific device would cost $290 to build (that would include parts and production. That’s about $34 more than the Galaxy S5 and quite a bit more than the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, which were estimated at $247 and $263, accordingly.

Opinion: So there you go – the Samsung Galayx S6 Edge costs more to make than an iPhone 6 Plus! Don’t get too upset about the profit margins, though. Remember, companies have to spend a lot of extra money in advertising, employees and innovation.

Moto 360 discount

Looking to get an Android Wear device? Today we have a better deal than the one Best Buy is offering. You can now get the Moto 360 for just $165, and you don’t need to purchase any other product to get the promotional price.

Just head over to the Google Play Store and sign up for your round Android Wear device. We are not sure if this is a permanent price drop or a temporary discount, so try to act fast if you have made up your mind on this specific smart watch.

Opinion: Rumors of a Moto 360 successor have started surfacing. All these Moto 360 discounts sure make us wonder if there is some truth to these rumors.

Lara Croft: Relic Run

Crystal Dynamics and Square Enix are set to keep the Tomb Raider franchise alive, and their latest project is directed at casual mobile gamers. Their new title is called Lara Croft: Relic Run, and it is coming to iOS and Android “soon”.

It’s pretty much another running game, except with the elements that characterize the world of Tomb Raider. So far the game has gone through a soft launch in the Netherlands, for both iOS and Android. Let’s hope it doesn’t take long to get everywhere else.

Opinion: I have never been a big fan of these running games, but this one looks like it has some very interesting elements. Do we have any readers in the Netherlands who have checked it out?
