Overview
- Reports from FN News indicate 256GB Galaxy S26 models could rise by KRW 44,000–88,000 in South Korea.
- Multiple outlets say U.S. launch prices are expected to match the S25 lineup at $799, $999, and $1,299.
- A Samsung representative told FN News that final pricing for the Galaxy S26 series has not been decided.
- Rising LPDDR5X DRAM and NAND costs and currency pressure are cited as key factors, with additional strain from short-term memory procurement after a failed long-term supply deal.
- The series is widely tipped for a Feb. 25 unveiling with retail availability in early March, according to recent leaks.
