Mobile phone profits high or not?  

小米科技估值达40亿美元 手机暴利再引争议

中国智能手机的黑马企业小米科技26日宣布获得新一轮2.16亿美元融资，企业整体估值达到40亿美元，这一估值相当于诺基亚的一半。公司CEO雷军同日晒出小米手机成本构成表，但再次遭到暴利质疑。

Beijing (CNS) -- Chinese smart phone enterprise Xiaomi won a new round of financing valued at US$216 million, it announced on June 26. And the enterprise's overall valuation hit US$4 billion, half of that for Nokia.

Company CEO Lei Jun posted the product cost of a Xiaomi mobile phone via microblog on the same day, as a response to some questioning of its so-called low profits. Lei has confirmed that at present the mobile phone's profit margin is less than twenty percent.

Zhou Hongyi, chairman of the Chinese online security software developer Qihoo 360 Technology Co., assesses Xiao's product cost from a different perspective, combining the indicators of royalty, hardware procurement cost, model cost, tax, marketing costs and after-sales service costs. Zhou said each Xiaomi mobile phone earns a net profit as high as 600 yuan.
