- A new leak suggests the Galaxy S26 series’s launch pricing may be the same as last year’s S25 series, at least in some markets.
- This is contrary to earlier reporting that suggested increased RAM prices would lead to higher S26 prices for consumers.
- The leak in question deals with pricing in Euros, and we can’t be totally sure what it means for US pricing.
RAM prices have been soaring in recent months, a trend that’s caused product delays and fueled concern that new consumer electronics of all kinds will see reduced memory, higher sticker prices, or both. It was reported in November that the upcoming Galaxy S26 series was likely to see a RAM-induced price hike versus last year’s S25 phones, but a new leak suggests that might not be the case.
Leaker Roland Quandt posted today on Bluesky that pricing for S26 base models will be “pretty much the same” as the S25 at launch, at least in European markets. His post goes on to say that the S26 Ultra may actually be less expensive, coming in about “100 Euro cheaper for 256 and 512GB” models, though he’s expecting the one-terabyte version’s pricing to remain the same.
