Samsung increases Galaxy S26 prices in the US
Samsung has raised the price of its Galaxy S26 lineup by $100 or more across most models, according to Phone Arena. The base model with 256GB storage now costs $999 after a recent increase from $899. This marks an additional hike on top of previous increases when the phones launched earlier in 2026. Samsung cited rising RAM prices as part of the reason for initial price hikes, and this latest adjustment compounds those changes. The Galaxy S26 Ultra's highest storage variant saw a $200 increase to $1,999 from $1,799. Only the Galaxy S26 FE remains unaffected by these new adjustments at its starting price of $699. This trend aligns with broader industry movements as Apple and Google have also increased smartphone prices this year.
