Samsung Raises Galaxy S26 Series Prices by 100-200 Dollars
“Samsung” has raised the official prices of the “Galaxy S26” series in the US, effective immediately. Almost all storage options in the series have become 100 dollars (approximately 170 manat) more expensive. The increase for the “Galaxy S26 Ultra” with 1 TB of storage is 200 dollars (approximately 340 manat). The base “Galaxy S26” with 256 GB of storage now sells for 999 dollars (approximately 1700 manat). That is 200 dollars more than the price set when the “Galaxy S25” went on sale.
The version of the “Galaxy S26” with 512 GB of storage costs 1199 dollars (approximately 2040 manat). The 256 GB storage option for the “Galaxy S26 Plus” also sells for 1199 dollars. The model’s 512 GB version costs 1399 dollars (approximately 2380 manat). The price of the “Galaxy S26 Ultra” with 256 GB of storage has risen to 1399 dollars. The model with 512 GB of storage costs 1599 dollars (approximately 2720 manat). The price of the 1 TB version has increased from 1799 dollars (approximately 3060 manat) to 1999 dollars (approximately 3400 manat). The “Galaxy S26 FE,” which went on sale in August, was excluded from this price increase. The model’s starting price remains 699 dollars (approximately 1190 manat). Even so, the phone was already 50 dollars (approximately 85 manat) more expensive than the previous generation. The prices of the “Galaxy Z Fold 8” and “Samsung’s” other foldable smartphones have also remained unchanged.
The new prices are already in effect on “Samsung’s” official online store. “Amazon” and “Best Buy” have not yet raised their prices, but they are also expected to follow suit later. “Samsung” has not explained the reason for the latest price increase. When unveiling the series, the company attributed the earlier price increase for the base “Galaxy S26” and “Galaxy S26 Plus” models to higher prices for RAM and other components. The price increase is not limited to “Samsung” products. “Apple” and “Google” have also raised the prices of their new smartphones this year. The “iPhone 18 Pro” and “iPhone 18 Pro Max” went on sale for 100 dollars more than the previous models. “Apple” also updated its computer prices in June, with increases reaching 500 dollars (approximately 850 manat) for some products. In recent months, older “iPhone” models and “Amazon Kindle” and “Echo” devices have also become more expensive.
