Samsung raises Galaxy phone prices in India for the ninth time

TL;DR

Samsung has raised prices on several Galaxy F and Galaxy M phones in India again, with increases of INR 1,000 to INR 3,000.

The new prices for models like the Galaxy M17, M17E, F17, and F70E reportedly take effect on August 18, 2026.

This is the ninth Galaxy smartphone price hike in India in eight months, with rising memory chip costs believed to be the cause.

Back in January, Samsung hiked the prices of its smartphones in India, marking the first such increase in a very long time. The move was believed to be driven by rising memory chip prices. Since then, the company has raised smartphone prices in the country multiple times, with surging memory prices once again believed to be the reason. Now, it’s happening yet again.
