According to a new materials cost teardown performed by iSuppli, the new Google Nexus One costs $174.15 to build, with the most expensive part being the extremely powerful Qualcomm SnapDragon processor, estimated at $30.50 USD.
The most interesting revelation is the fact that "Touchscreen Assembly (capacitive multitouch)" costs $17.50, about 10 percent of the entire bill of materials, even though Google has disabled multi-touch on the Nexus One.
Google is selling the phone unlocked for $530, or $180 with contract via T-Mobile.
