Samsung just raised the price on several more Galaxy phones in the US

Samsung has hiked prices on additional Galaxy phones in the United States, continuing a trend driven by soaring component costs. Over the past 24 hours alone, customers have noticed an increase in pricing for Samsung's Galaxy S26 flagship lineup, alongside the seven-year-old Nvidia Shield TV Pro. The company's price adjustments aren't limited to just top-tier devices; Samsung has also raised the cost of several Galaxy A models, including the A57, A37, A27, and A17, with price hikes ranging from $20 to $70 based on the specific model and configuration.

PhoneArena reported these price changes, highlighting that this marks the second significant price increase for the Galaxy A17 since its January launch priced at $199. Critics argue that this price point may have been unjustified given the device's initial performance.
