Consumers may need to prepare for higher prices when purchasing Samsung's upcoming Galaxy S26 lineup. Reports suggest that the flagship smartphones could see a price hike due to increasing costs of essential components.
The surge in pricing for key smartphone components such as the SoC and RAM is attributed to heightened demand in the market.
This trend of price hikes is not exclusive to Samsung, as other major smartphone manufacturers like Apple, Xiaomi, Oppo, and vivo have also raised prices for their premium models.
For example, vivo's latest X300 series now comes with a higher price tag compared to its predecessors. While Samsung is also expected to increase prices, this adjustment may primarily impact the South Korean market.
