Samsung is increasing prices on several Galaxy models, with higher-storage variants now costing significantly more. Base models remain unchanged, but premium configurations face steep hikes.

Samsung has raised prices across multiple Galaxy devices, according to Phone Arena. The increases target higher-storage variants: Price Increases: - Galaxy Z Flip 7 (512GB): $1,219.99 → $1,299.99 - Galaxy S25 FE (256GB): $709.99 → $749.99 - Galaxy S25 Edge (512GB): $1,219.99 → $1,299.99 Base storage models maintain their original pricing. The move follows Samsung's earlier price hike on the Galaxy Z Fold 7, which saw its 1TB model increase from $2,419. The price adjustments affect Samsung's premium and mid-range lineups, with storage-heavy configurations bearing the largest increases. This represents a notable shift in Samsung's pricing strategy across its 2025 flagship and foldable device offerings.
