Galaxy S27 Ultra price hike looks unavoidable as component prices continue to spiral
A new rumor claims the Galaxy S27 Ultra could cost about $104 more in South Korea as memory, storage, and processor prices continue to rise.
The Galaxy S27 Ultra series price is set to increase, according to a price hike rumor. The Galaxy S27 Ultra in South Korea could cost up to $104 more than its predecessor, which suggests a similar increase in other markets. Samsung has warned about rising component costs, particularly memory shortages and climbing NAND storage prices, as well as Qualcomm's upcoming chip price increase.
The Galaxy Z Flip 8 is an example of this, priced $100 higher than the Z Flip 7. The upcoming Galaxy S27 Ultra is rumored to have a larger battery, upgraded cameras, and potentially a dedicated 3x telephoto camera. If Samsung's plans are realized, the Ultra could have a starting price of $1,399.99 in the US, up from $1,299.99 for the S26 Ultra. However, this may still be lower than the Pixel 11 Pro Fold, which is rumored to start at $1,899.
