Price hikes hit samsung as

Samsung may be preparing another round of price increases for its flagship smartphones, a move that could hit the European market with rises of up to €200 ($233) per device.

Samsung could hike prices of all flagship phones

A report from Greek outlet Techmaniacs suggests that the company could introduce these price updates as early as the first week of June, affecting the Galaxy S series, last year's foldable devices, and the FE models.

If accurate, this would mean a minimum increase of €100 ($116) for all flagship Samsung phones, with higher storage versions seeing even steeper hikes.

It's unclear whether these price changes would extend beyond Europe.

This wouldn't be the first price bump from Samsung this year. The company has already raised prices for some foldables and tablets in the US, and the Galaxy S26 series launched with higher prices than their predecessors.

Analysts have been warning about further price hikes in the second half of the year due to the ongoing RAM shortage, which has driven up costs for all sorts of gadgets, from gaming consoles to laptops.

Apple, Google, and others are likely to follow suit, making now a potentially crucial time to upgrade your phone before prices rise even higher.
