Tech Prices to Rise in 2026

TV and smartphone prices in India might go up by 3-10% starting next January.

This is because the parts used to make these devices, especially memory chips, are becoming more expensive and harder to find.

Also, the Indian rupee has become weaker compared to the US dollar, making these imported parts even more costly.

Some companies have already told their sellers about this price increase.

Experts say this might affect how many smart TVs and smartphones are sold, even though the government recently lowered taxes on bigger TVs.

The TV market in India is big and growing, but right now, there are some challenges that might slow things down.

Additionally, high-capacity RAM configurations in premium smartphones could become rarer or stall altogether by 2026.

Manufacturers might limit upgrades to 12GB RAM models amid surging memory costs driven by AI demand.

4GB RAM options may make a comeback, making 6GB RAM as the entry-level option.
