Samsung is officially rolling out a price hike for the Galaxy S26 series, raising prices by $100 across the lineup.
Effective immediately, the entire Galaxy S26 series is now $100 more expensive. Samsung had already raised prices on the base Galaxy S26 and the Galaxy S26+ compared to last year’s models, while the Ultra remained unchanged until now.
The Galaxy S26 Ultra’s 1TB version sees the biggest price hike from $1,799 to $1,999.
The updated prices are already in place at Samsung.com, though third-party retailers such as Amazonand Best Buy have yet to update, though that’s likely only a matter of time.
The Galaxy S26 FE, which just launched in August, does not appear to be going up in price at this time, with Samsung having already increased the price by $50 over the prior generation. Galaxy Z Fold 8 and Samsung’s other foldables are also not seeing higher prices.
While Samsung hasn’t issued a reason for the price hike, the rising cost of memory and other components is surely to blame – thanks RAMageddon (and all the AI).
