Samsung officially raises Galaxy S26 prices by $100, but it hasn’t changed everywhere

Samsung is officially rolling out a price hike for the Galaxy S26 series, raising prices by $100 across the lineup. Effective immediately, the entire Galaxy S26 series is now $100 more expensive. Samsung had already raised prices on the base Galaxy S26 and the Galaxy S26+ compared to last year’s models, while the Ultra remained unchanged until now. The Galaxy S26 Ultra’s 1TB version sees the biggest price hike from $1,799 to $1,999. The updated prices are already in place at Samsung.com, though third-party retailers such as Amazon and Best Buy have yet to update, though that’s likely only a matter of time. Price updates are as follows: 256GB512GB1TBGalaxy S26$899 > $999$1,099 > $1,199N/AGalaxy S26+$1,099 > $1,199$1,299 > $1,399N/AGalaxy S26 Ultra$1,299 > $1,399$1,499 > $1,599$1,799 > $1,999 The Galaxy S26 FE, which just launched in August, does not appear to be going up in price at this time, with Samsung having already increased the price by $50 over the prior generation. Galaxy Z Fold 8 and Samsung’s other foldables are also not seeing higher prices. While Samsung hasn’t issued a reason for the price hike, the rising cost of memory and other components is surely to blame – thanks RAMageddon (and all the AI).
