New leak provides clearer picture about Samsung Galaxy S26, Galaxy S26 Plus and Galaxy S26 Ultra pricing

In the last few days, various sources have claimed that price rises are on the way for Samsung's next Galaxy S series. Initial reports suggested that a modest increase was coming. However, a more recent Arsène Lupin tweet asserted that all three Galaxy S26 smartphones could be significantly more expensive than their predecessors in parts of the Eurozone.

In summary, Lupin reported that a Bulgarian retailer was showing increases of up to €400 (~$470) across the lineup. New information from billbil_kun provides a more nuanced take. Writing on Dealabs, the latter states that Samsung plans to up prices across the Galaxy S26 series but not uniformly.

For instance, the cheapest Galaxy S26 will run to €40 (~$47) more than the equivalent Galaxy S25 (curr. $779.99 on Amazon). In part, that is because countries like France will receive 256 GB as a starting memory configuration rather than 128 GB. Potentially, 128 GB of storage could be offered in other countries like Bulgaria, though.

Billbil_kun adds that the Galaxy S26 Plus is set to retail for at least €100 (~$118) more than its predecessor, with a €180 (~$213) difference between 512 GB SKUs. Finally, the Galaxy S26 Ultra is rumoured to cost at least €1,469 (~$1,735) with prices rising to €1,969 (~$2,325) for 1 TB options.
