Base Samsung Galaxy S27 Models Could Cost Up to 170 Manat More

    Samsung’s Galaxy S27 series, which is expected to be released in early 2027, could be more expensive than the previous generation. According to a rumor circulating in South Korea, the price increase for the base models could be at least 130 000 won. The increase is said to range from 95 dollars to 100 dollars. That is approximately 160 manat to 170 manat. The additional charge could rise more sharply as storage capacity increases. According to the claim, the price increase will not be limited to the most powerful model.    An earlier claim said the Galaxy S27 Ultra would have a starting price of 1400 dollars (2380 manat). Under the new scenario, the base version will have 256 GB of storage. This model could start at 1399 dollars (approximately 2380 manat). The 512 GB version could cost 1549 dollars (approximately 2630 manat). The latter figure is not yet certain, and the price could be even higher.    For comparison, the 256 GB version of the Galaxy S26 Ultra cost 1299 dollars (approximately 2210 manat) when it went on sale. The 512 GB version sold for 1499 dollars (approximately 2550 manat). Doubling the storage required an additional payment of 200 dollars (340 manat). This difference is claimed to be even greater in the Galaxy S27 series. In other words, each successive storage option could cost more.    The most expensive Galaxy S27 Ultra model could have 1 TB of storage. Its price could approach 2000 dollars (3400 manat). The Galaxy S26 Ultra with the same storage capacity sold for 1799 dollars (approximately 3060 manat) when it went on sale. The main reason cited for the price increase is a chip shortage caused by demand for artificial intelligence technologies. Higher prices for memory components could also affect the price.    Some Galaxy S27 models could use NAND chips for data storage and new LPDDR6 RAM. According to the claim, the highest-capacity version of at least the Galaxy S27 Ultra will use the more expensive LPDDR6. It costs more than the previous LPDDR5X memory and could increase the phone’s final price. However, Samsung has not yet confirmed the technical specifications.    For now, the pricing information applies only to the South Korean market. It has not been confirmed whether the same increase will occur in other countries. A different claim published earlier said that only the most expensive model would increase in price. Prices for the other models in the series were expected to remain unchanged. Leaked CAD design images have also shown a new camera module and an altered appearance. Samsung has not announced final prices ahead of the launch expected in early 2027.
