Samsung is reportedly planning to raise the prices of its next-generation flagship phones, the Galaxy S26 series.
This news came from GSM Arena, Wednesday, which stated that the price of this cellphone, which is projected to be launched in 2026, has increased due to the continuing rise in component costs.
This information first came from local media from South Korea ET News, which stated that the component costs that experienced an increase were chipsets and RAM, and this happened because market demand also increased.
The rise in phone component costs isn't unique to Samsung. Other smartphone manufacturers are facing similar challenges, including major competitors like Apple, Xiaomi, Oppo, and Vivo, which have also raised the prices of their flagship models.
For example, the latest one, vivo offers the X300 series which is priced higher than its predecessor, the X200.
