Reports from Korea indicate that the Samsung Galaxy S26 series is likely to see a price hike, possibly impacting only select areas. As per FNNews, Samsung intends to increase prices by $30 to $50 for each model in Korea, with the 256GB version becoming the standard configuration. This strategy mirrors Apple’s approach of providing 256GB storage at no additional cost. Increased component expenses, especially due to shortages in memory and storage, are propelling these adjustments. Nevertheless, Samsung might keep existing prices in the U.S. to remain competitive with Apple’s iPhone 17. The Galaxy S26 series is anticipated to debut in February 2026, with sales starting in March.
