Samsung hikes price of Galaxy S26 lineup over S25, but it won't say the RAM crisis is to blame — even though it almost certainly is

S26 and Galaxy Buds4.

Samsung has announced that its latest flagship phones, the Galaxy S26 series, are getting a price bump over their S25 predecessors — and while Samsung won't blame the RAM crisis directly, I don't feel like I'm going out on a limb when speculating that it's at least partly to blame.

The phones were announced at Samsung's Galaxy S26 launch event, and you want the new Galaxy S26 you'll need to pay from $899.99 / £879 / AU$1,549, while an S26 Plus costs from $1,099.99 / £1,099 / AU$1,849, and an S26 Ultra will set you back from $1,299.99 / £1,279 / AU$2,199.
