In a related development, Samsung has already raised the prices of select Galaxy phones currently on the market. For instance, the price of the Galaxy Z Fold 7 1TB has increased to $2,499.99 from $2,419.99, reflecting an $80 hike. Similarly, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 512GB now retails for $2,199.99, also up by $80.

Samsung’s co-CEO TM Roh acknowledged the challenges posed by the global memory shortage, stating that “no company is immune” to these pressures. This situation has prompted the company to revise prices for already released units, including notable increases for the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7 in Korea.

Historically, Samsung has launched three flagship Galaxy S phones every January or February, and the Galaxy S24 is still considered a worthwhile purchase even in 2026, with promises of updates for five more years. However, the Galaxy S24 Ultra will be the last model to feature a Bluetooth S Pen, marking a significant shift in the product line.

As for the Galaxy S26 Ultra, it boasts a privacy display, catering to growing consumer concerns about data security. However, Samsung’s Galaxy S phones typically lose half their value within the first year, with the Galaxy S23 series experiencing a value loss of 49.7% at six months and 55.5% at twelve months.

Details about the features of the Galaxy S27 lineup remain vague, and specific upgrades to performance, battery life, and AI features have not been confirmed. Observers are keenly awaiting further announcements from Samsung regarding these developments.
