Bad news: The Galaxy S27 series could get really expensive

Samsung's upcoming Galaxy S27 series is rumored to come with a higher price tag than its predecessors, according to a new leak from Naver. While a price increase for flagship devices is not unexpected, the potential jump in storage variant costs has caught attention. A leaker claims that Samsung plans to increase the price by a significant margin, possibly in the "high 130,000 won range" (~$100). This suggests a larger gap between storage options, potentially more than the reported $200 difference between some models.

However, the leak is not without discrepancies. Another leak previously suggested that the Galaxy S27 series would only see minor changes, primarily in the premium flagship model. This new information contradicts that, indicating that all devices in the series will experience a price increase. The leak also mentions that these price hikes may be necessary to cover the cost of advanced storage options, such as NAND and LPDDR6 RAM.

With the Galaxy S27 series set to launch early next year, further details on the exact price increases will likely emerge closer to the release date.
