In January, Samsung increased the prices of three of its smartphones in India, the Galaxy A36, Galaxy A56, and the Galaxy F17, owing to rising memory costs. Last month, the brand hiked the prices of these devices once again. Now, the company is increasing the prices of the Galaxy F17 for the third time, as well as those of the Galaxy A06 5G, Galaxy A17, Galaxy F36, Galaxy M17, and Galaxy M36.

While there’s no official information about why Samsung is increasing the prices of these smartphones, it is most likely due to rising memory costs.
Unfortunately, price hikes are not limited to just smartphones. According to a recent report, Samsung is also planning to increase the prices of its Galaxy Tab models.
