Galaxy S26 is getting more expensive: Samsung tacks on at least 100 euros

TVS News AI, editorially supervised, presents Galaxy S26 is getting more expensive: Samsung tacks on at least 100 euros.

If you were planning to pick up a new Samsung flagship soon, it's time to run the numbers again. Samsung has raised the prices for its Galaxy S26 lineup — and noticeably so. The S26, the S26+, and the S26 Ultra all cost at least 100 euros more than before.

The increase applies to all three models, according to the report. Anyone currently mulling a purchase should adjust their plans accordingly.

How much more will you pay?

According to heise online, the minimum markup is 100 euros per model. How the increase breaks down across individual storage and configuration variants isn't clear from the report so far — the 100 euros cited is the floor, and it applies equally to the S26, S26+, and S26 Ultra.

The memory crisis as the trigger

The report cites the ongoing memory crisis in the electronics industry as the background for the price hike. The issue is a shortage of RAM and flash storage that has been putting manufacturers under pressure for some time.

What's left for you?

Anyone who wants the Galaxy S26, S26+, or S26 Ultra will now need to budget at least 100 euros more. Whether the markup is worth it depends on how important the upgrade is to you — and which alternatives are in play.
