Price increases incoming: Korean price leak reveals new details about Samsung Galaxy S26, S26 Plus and S26 Ultra
Samsung is less than two weeks away from replacing the Galaxy S25, Galaxy S25 Plus and Galaxy S25 Ultra (curr. $759 - refurbished on Amazon). In the meantime, various leaks have emerged concerning the Galaxy S26 series. For instance, Evan Blass has just shared dozens of photos detailing the Galaxy S26, Galaxy S26 Plus and Galaxy S26 Ultra in their four primary launch colours.
Separately, ET News has indicated that price rises could be on the way for Samsung's flagship smartphones. Citing ongoing cost pressures within the memory industry, ET News claims that the Galaxy S26, Galaxy S26 Plus and Galaxy S26 Ultra will cost more than their predecessor across the board. This report chimes with earlier Eurozone pricing leaks.
In short, the Galaxy S26 series will start at around 9% more than last year's models in South Korea. However, Samsung hopes to offset this price increase by offering double storage upgrades in most markets. As a result, the Galaxy S26 will effectively start with 512 GB of storage for KRW 1,254,000 (~$875) or €999 in the Eurozone during Samsung's pre-order period. Not only is pricing information now well established, but so are the full spec sheets for Samsung's upcoming flagships. Please see the table below for more details.
