We live in Opposite World \u2013 half a year after new phones launch, the manufacturer is typically expected to reduce prices. Instead, Samsung just raised the prices of Galaxy S26 series phones by at least $100 (it\u2019s $200 in the case of the 1TB S26 Ultra). And it\u2019s not just the US that was affected.<\/p>\n
We went through the online stores of several regional divisions of Samsung.com to check how much a new S26 costs. What we found is that the US, Canada, the UK, mainland Europe and India are all showing higher prices. We didn\u2019t check every region, but if any haven\u2019t raised their prices yet, they would be the exceptions.<\/p>\n
Here is how much the Galaxy S26<\/a>, S26+<\/a> and S26 Ultra<\/a> cost now compared to when they launched<\/a>. We\u2019ve also included the prices of their Galaxy S25 series counterparts since the S26 models already started with a price hike (which varied from region to region). The prices of the Galaxy S26 FE<\/a> have not been affected, however.<\/p>\n
Samsung isn\u2019t the only one. Apple also increased<\/a> prices<\/a> as did Google<\/a>. And no, it won\u2019t get better next year \u2013 rumor has it that the Galaxy S27 series will bring another price hike<\/a>.<\/p>\n Samsung Galaxy S26<\/p>\n Samsung Galaxy S26+<\/p>\n Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra<\/p>\n We may get a commission from qualifying sales.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"We live in Opposite World \u2013 half a year after new phones launch, the manufacturer is typically expected…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":633809,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[85,46,321,125],"class_list":["post-633808","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mobile","tag-il","tag-israel","tag-mobile","tag-technology"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/633808","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=633808"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/633808\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/633809"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=633808"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=633808"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=633808"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
