Samsung Raises Galaxy S26 Series Prices by Rs 20,000
Samsung has made every listed version of its Galaxy S26 phones more expensive in India.
The price increase is Rs 20,000 for each version.
The new prices began on September 18.
The cheapest Galaxy S26 now costs more than Rs 1 lakh.
The most expensive Galaxy S26 Ultra now costs more than Rs 2 lakh.
Samsung has not explained exactly why it made this India-specific price change.
Smartphone memory and component costs are rising across the market, partly because of strong demand for AI infrastructure.
Store discounts, bank offers, and exchange deals may lower what buyers actually pay.
Samsung increased listed prices for all seven Galaxy S26 configurations in India by Rs 20,000.
The revised prices took effect on September 18.
The Galaxy S26 12GB + 256GB now costs Rs 1,07,999, up from Rs 87,999.
The Galaxy S26+ now starts at Rs 1,39,999, while the Galaxy S26 Ultra starts at Rs 1,59,999.
The 16GB + 1TB Galaxy S26 Ultra now costs Rs 2,09,999, though discounts and offers may reduce the final price.
