Checks performed, model exceptions and wider context

The price comparison comes from a review of Samsung.com regional online stores; the author of the original post, Peter, published the findings on 01 October 2026 and reported that the US, Canada, the UK, mainland Europe and India all showed higher prices. The post notes the author did not check every region and that any markets without an increase would be exceptions.

The post also states that the Galaxy S26 FE prices have not been affected. It adds that Apple and Google have increased prices as well and reports a rumor that the Galaxy S27 series may bring another price hike; those points are presented as the post's observation and rumor, not as confirmed statements from Samsung.
