Galaxy phones reportedly ‘yield no profit at all’ when sold as Samsung cuts production

A report claims Samsung is dramatically reducing Galaxy smartphone production through 2026, cutting up to 30% from original forecasts. The company may only surpass 200 million units produced in 2026, down from an expected 270 million. The reduction is attributed to the surging cost of memory, with 12GB of RAM prices increasing by 175% and expected to rise by 20% in Q3 and Q4.
Samsung's Q4 typically sees lower sales as anticipation builds for 2027 flagship releases and other products age out. The report highlights that Samsung isn't making any profit from selling Galaxy smartphones, a statement likely encompassing the entire lineup. Samsung's mobile division is projected to face a $14 billion USD loss in Q3 2026, equivalent to a 19 trillion won loss.
