Samsung Electronics raises Galaxy S26 smartphone prices, Yonhap reports

Samsung Electronics has increased the pricing of its premium Galaxy S26 smartphones, according to Yonhap news agency. The domestic price of the base model has risen by 149,600 won to 1,403,600 won, which is approximately $1,029.94. The other models' prices were also raised by the same amount, except for the S26 Ultra 1TB model, which saw a 270,000 won increase to 2,821,500 won.

The Galaxy S26 range was introduced in March with higher prices in the US and South Korea, aiming to gauge consumer response amid escalating memory chip costs that are squeezing profit margins.
