Changes Come at a Cost
Galaxy S26 Ultra is rumored to offer enhanced performance with a faster chipset and improved camera sensors. However, rising component costs may lead to an increase in the phone's retail price. With the Galaxy S25 Ultra already priced at $1,299, Samsung might face resistance from consumers if further price hikes occur.
