Why This Matters

Samsung is planning to increase the prices of its flagship phones in Greece, with potential implications for other markets like Europe and the US. This trend reflects broader industry challenges such as rising component costs driven by AI demand, which could lead to higher prices for consumers worldwide. The price hikes may impact consumer access to the latest Samsung devices and signal ongoing inflation in premium smartphones.

TL;DR Samsung will reportedly raise the price of various flagship phones in Greece from next month.

The price hikes will apparently apply to the Galaxy S series, the Galaxy Z7 foldables, and Galaxy FE phones.

This might be a sign of things to come for Europe and the US at large.

The entire consumer tech industry is grappling with price increases due to AI companies gobbling up RAM and storage. Samsung is no different, as the Galaxy S26 series received price hikes in some markets. Now, it looks like the company is preparing for another round of price increases.

TechManiacs reports that Samsung will raise the price of various flagship phones in Greece from the first week of June. The outlet says these increases will apply to the Galaxy S series, the Galaxy Z Fold 7, the Galaxy Z Flip 7, and the Galaxy FE phones.

The website adds that these Galaxy phones will all cost at least €100 (~$116) more, but says variants with more storage could see higher price increases. Either way, this doesn’t bode well for Europe at large. The Galaxy S26 series already saw price hikes in the region, ranging from €50 to €80 (~$58 to ~$93) for the base storage models. So people wanting Samsung’s latest flagships might have to pay even more. This will also adversely affect people who want a cost-effective Galaxy flagship in the Galaxy S25 FE.

We’re guessing this news doesn’t bode well for the US market, either. Samsung previously raised Galaxy S26 series prices by $40 to $100 in the US, with even bigger increases for the larger storage variants. So you might want to grab the S26 phones or other recent Galaxy flagships sooner rather than later.
