Samsung hikes Galaxy S26, S26+, and S26 Ultra prices in Europe and the US

TL;DR

Samsung has raised Galaxy S26 series prices in Canada, Europe, the UK, and the US after earlier increases in India and South Korea.

The company says rising memory chip costs are behind the higher prices across all three models and multiple storage options.

Most variants are up by about $100/€80/£80/CAD 150, while the 1TB Galaxy S26 Ultra saw larger increases in some markets.
