Samsung is raising prices across Galaxy Z Flip 7, Galaxy S25 FE, and Galaxy S25 Edge phones, as spotted earlier by Phone Arena. Though the base model of each phone is staying at the same price, devices with higher storage are now up to $80 more expensive:

Galaxy Z Flip 7 (512GB): $1,219.99 to $1,299.99

Galaxy S25 FE (256GB): $709.99 to $749.99

Galaxy S25 Edge (512GB) $1,219.99 to $1,299.99

Last week, Samsung also increased the price of the Galaxy Z Fold 7, bringing its 1TB model from $2,419 to $2,499, while the 512GB version jumped from $2,119 to $2,199. Samsung’s price hikes don’t just end with its phones, however, as Phone Arena spotted increases across its tablet lineup, regardless of storage.

The 128GB Galaxy Tab S11, for example, now costs $899.99 instead of $799.99, while the 256GB Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra has gone from $1,199.99 to $1,299.99. Meanwhile, the Galaxy Tab S10 FE jumped from $499.99 to $549.99, and even the budget-friendly 128GB Galaxy Tab A11 Plus, which launched at $249.99, now costs $299.99.

These changes come in the midst of a global memory shortage that’s increasing the price of RAM and NAND flash memory, which is used to make SSDs. Samsung also raised the prices of its Galaxy Book 6 Pro and Book 6 Ultra last week, with Microsoft joining the price hike party on Monday with increases to its Surface Pro and Surface Laptop models.
