Samsung has increased prices across multiple Galaxy product lines in the US, with some devices seeing substantial hikes. The 1TB Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra jumped $280, signaling broader price increases for 2025 Galaxy releases.

Price increases affect the Galaxy S25 Edge, S25 FE, Z Flip 7, Tab S11, and Tab S11 Ultra models. The most dramatic increase hits the high-end Tab S11 Ultra configuration at $280, though the company has not publicly announced the adjustments. Other affected devices include the Galaxy Z Flip 7 foldable and the mid-range S25 FE variant. The timing suggests Samsung intends to maintain elevated pricing across its 2025 lineup. The increases come amid ongoing pressure from component costs and competition in premium smartphone and tablet segments. Samsung has not provided official comment on the price changes or their justification. Consumers considering Galaxy purchases should act quickly if current pricing is a factor, as further increases may follow across the product range.
