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.
