What you need to know
- Samsung could soon increase Galaxy phone prices in parts of Europe, starting with Greece in June.
- Reports claim some Galaxy S, Z Fold, Z Flip, and FE models may cost up to €100 more.
- Upcoming foldables like the Galaxy Z Fold 8 could also see price hikes later this year.
Samsung could soon be increasing the prices of its flagship Galaxy phones in some regions around the world, including parts of Europe.
When Samsung launched the Galaxy S26 series, the company increased the prices of the base and Plus models by $100 in the U.S., while keeping the Galaxy S26 Ultra at the same price. That’s also one of the reasons the Galaxy S26 Ultra has reportedly sold much better this year — since it offers more value compared to its siblings.
Alongside that, Samsung has also quietly increased prices for a few other devices recently in the U.S. as well. For example, the company recently raised the pricing of the 512GB Galaxy Z Fold 7 variant. Now it looks like broader price increases could be coming to flagship Galaxy phones too.
A new report from TechManiacs claims Samsung is planning to increase the prices of multiple flagship Galaxy devices in Greece starting from the first week of June. According to the report, the price hike could apply to Galaxy S series phones, the Galaxy Z Fold 7, Galaxy Z Flip 7, and even Galaxy FE models.
The outlet says some Galaxy devices could see price increases of around €100, while certain variants may become even more expensive.
The report doesn’t confirm whether the increase will apply across all of Europe, but if accurate, it could signal broader price hikes coming to other regions like the U.S. and India as well. Right now, though, Samsung hasn’t officially confirmed any wider global pricing changes.
So if you’re planning to buy a Samsung Galaxy device anytime soon, it might make sense to grab one sooner rather than later. With the Galaxy Z Fold 8 and the rumored Galaxy Wide Fold expected to launch in July 2026, we honestly wouldn’t be surprised if Samsung ends up increasing foldable pricing even further this year.
Android Central’s Take
Samsung increasing prices again honestly doesn’t feel surprising anymore. Component and memory costs are clearly going up, and there’s only so much of that a company can absorb before it eventually passes some of the increase onto customers. Honestly, I wouldn’t be surprised if the new iPhones end up getting more expensive this year as well.
