Another price-related leak about the upcoming Galaxy S26 series came in today and it contradicts the rather suspicious previous one. According to industry sources talking to Tech Maniacs, the pricing of all three models will remain virtually unchanged.
The report based on insider source close to Samsung reveals that the Galaxy S26 Ultra’s base price will remain the same. Some small price hikes for the upper storage variants are possible due to the increased memory prices lately. Still, the overall price will remain more or less unchanged.
The vanilla Galaxy S26’s base variant might see a price bump only if the base iteration ends up being 256 GB. For the record, the Galaxy S25 starts at 128 GB. On the other hand, the 512 GB version will reportedly see a small discount. The same applies to the Galaxy S26 Plus – same price for the base 256GB version and maybe a small adjustment for the 512 GB version, but not a significant one.
According to the unnamed industry sources, Samsung wants to avoid a price hike mainly because of Apple. Despite the soaring memory chip prices, Apple will retain its prices for this year’s iPhones, and in order for Samsung to stay competitive, it will try to maintain the same prices as last year.
