Facing stiff pricing pressure from the iPhone 17 series, Samsung is reportedly moving away from increasing the price of the Galaxy S26 series. Additionally, the Galaxy Z Fold 8 and Z Flip 8 are also said to cost the same as the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7, respectively.<\/p>\n

It is quite clear by now that the Samsung Galaxy S26 series isn\u2019t going to be a major upgrade over the Galaxy S25 series. For instance, the base Galaxy S26 is expected to employ a very similar design and a similar camera setup to the Galaxy S25<\/a>. Much of this hardware stagnation has been attributed to Samsung trying to keep the price of the Galaxy S26 down to compete favorably with the Apple iPhone 17<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Several rumors have claimed that Apple\u2019s decision to keep the price of iPhone 17 at $799 made Samsung pursue a strategy of cutting costs to not increase the Galaxy S26 price. Ice Universe now reports<\/a> that, per Korean media, Samsung has decided to keep the price of the Galaxy S26 series the same as the Galaxy S25 series.\u00a0<\/p>\n

So, the price of the Galaxy S26 phones could be:<\/p>\n

While earlier leaks claimed that Samsung was also developing a Galaxy S26 Edge, the latest information alleges that we will likely get the traditional base, Plus, and Ultra trio without any new entrant.<\/p>\n

Galaxy Z Fold 8 and Galaxy Z Flip 8 price<\/p>\n

Assuming Ice Universe\u2019s report is accurate, the Galaxy Z Fold 8 will start at $1,999, and the Galaxy Z Flip 8 will start at $1,099. Both foldable phones are expected to launch in July 2026.<\/p>\n
