Another leak regarding the pricing of the upcoming Galaxy S26 series has surfaced, presenting a narrative that contradicts previous reports. Sources close to the industry, speaking to Tech Maniacs, indicate that the prices for all three models will largely remain unchanged.
The insider information reveals that the base price of the Galaxy S26 Ultra will not see significant changes. However, some minor price increases for higher storage variants may occur due to rising memory costs. Overall, pricing is expected to be stable.
The standard Galaxy S26’s base model could experience a price increase only if it features 256 GB of storage, as the Galaxy S25 currently starts at 128 GB. Conversely, the 512 GB variant is anticipated to see a slight reduction in price. The Galaxy S26 Plus is likely to follow a similar trend, maintaining the same price for its 256 GB base version, with only minor adjustments for the 512 GB option.
Unnamed sources indicate that Samsung is keen to avoid a price hike, mainly to remain competitive against Apple. Despite rising memory prices, Apple plans to keep its iPhone prices stable this year, prompting Samsung to follow suit and maintain similar pricing to last year.
