The Galaxy S26 series is causing quite a stir with its pricing strategy! Another day brings yet another conflicting price leak, leaving fans and tech enthusiasts scratching their heads. But here's the twist: this time, the leak originates from France, adding a unique twist to the story.
According to the French source, the upcoming Galaxy S26, S26+, and S26 Ultra smartphones will see a price hike compared to their predecessors. The base model S26 with 256GB storage is rumored to be €40 more expensive, while the 512GB variant will cost a staggering €120 extra. And the upgrades don't stop there! The S26+ is expected to follow suit, with the 256GB model costing €100 more and the 512GB version €90 extra.
But wait, there's more! The Galaxy S26 Ultra, the flagship of the series, will seemingly maintain the same starting price as the S25 Ultra for the 256GB model. However, the 512GB and 1TB options will set you back an additional €80 and €140, respectively. And this is the part most people miss—these prices might only apply to the French market due to varying VAT rates across Europe.
Now, this is where it gets controversial. Previous leaks have been all over the place. One claimed there would be no price changes at all, while another suggested increases of up to €500! So, which leak is the real deal? It's a mystery that even the most seasoned tech analysts are struggling to solve.
Fortunately, we won't have to wait long for the truth. Samsung is rumored to unveil the S26 lineup on February 25, just three weeks away. And then we'll finally know whether these leaks were accurate or if there's another twist in the tale. Stay tuned, as the Galaxy S26 pricing saga continues to unfold!
