Overview
- Samsung’s U.S. store listings, updated Tuesday by multiple trackers, now show price hikes on higher‑capacity Galaxy phones and nearly every Galaxy Tab, with some tablets up to $280 more.
- The Z Flip 7, S25 Edge, and S25 FE rose $40–$80 on upgraded storage, and the Z Fold 7’s 512GB and 1TB models also climbed $80 earlier this week.
- Base prices for the entry phone tiers remain unchanged, while tablet increases apply to all storage options, widening the gap between configurations.
- A Samsung representative confirmed the changes and pointed to pricier memory chips and foreign‑exchange swings as drivers, with DRAM and NAND costs rising as AI data centers buy more supply.
- Retail prices are uneven for now, with Amazon, Samsung, and Best Buy showing discounts versus the new MSRPs, including up to $510 off a 512GB Z Fold 7 and sizable cuts on the Z Flip 7.
