SmartPrix renders of the galaxy s26 phones.

The Galaxy S26 is likely to be the first major smartphone release of 2026, but a new report suggests that Samsung may need to increase the price in certain markets.

A new report from the South Korean publication FNNews has indicated that a price increase is coming for the Galaxy S26. According to the report, soaring DRAM and NAND prices, coupled with high exchange rates, are expected to result in a domestic price increase for the new phone. The plan is supposedly to increase the cost of the 256GB models by between 44,000 and 88,0000 won, around $30 to $50, respectively.
