Samsung Galaxy S27 Price Hike Rumors: Could Memory Costs Push Prices Higher?
Samsung may raise Galaxy S27 prices by $75 to $100 due to rising memory costs, according to a new Chosun report. Here's what we know so far.
Samsung's next flagship lineup may carry a higher price tag than its predecessor. Earlier this month, a rumor suggested the Galaxy S27 series would cost more than the Galaxy S26 family, and a new report now supports that claim.
Samsung Reportedly Weighs a $75 to $100 Increase
South Korean publication Chosun reports that Samsung is considering raising the price of the Galaxy S27 series by $75 to $100. The outlet attributes the possible increase to rising memory prices.
An Unanswered Question About Pricing
The report leaves one important detail open. It doesn't say whether the proposed hike would be added on top of the price increases Samsung introduced for the Galaxy S26 lineup earlier this month, or whether it would be calculated from those models' original launch prices. The answer would significantly affect how much more buyers ultimately pay, so it's a key point to watch as more information emerges.
Earlier Estimates Suggest Bigger Jumps for Some Models
This isn't the first hint of higher pricing. A previous rumor suggested base Galaxy S27 models could rise by around $95, while higher-storage variants could increase by as much as $200. Taken together, the estimates indicate that buyers may see very different price changes depending on the model and storage tier they choose.
What Comes Next
These figures remain unconfirmed, and Samsung has not officially announced pricing for the Galaxy S27 series. Until the company does, the numbers should be treated as reported possibilities rather than final prices. Still, both reports point in the same direction: Galaxy S27 pricing could be heading upward, with rising memory costs appearing to be the main driver.
