Openors $ 12 Gongkai Phone
For the price of a couple of cups of coffee, you get a full-fledged phone with a two-color OLED screen, Bluetooth and the ability to play MP3 music. All this in a transparent green case.
According to bloggers , the estimated cost of the Gongkai phone is about $ 10, that is, it also sells with a good margin of 20%. The package includes a charger, a USB cable and a protective silicone case.
Interestingly, no screws or screws are used in the assembly of the device; parts of the case simply snap in with a mechanism. The fastening of internal components probably also reduces the cost of production - the screen, lithium-polymer battery and other parts are simply soldered to the motherboard.
