Galaxy S27 Series Pricing May Not only Increase, but Cost More to Upgrade Storage

Leaked reports say Samsung plans a roughly 130,000 won increase and a steeper premium for higher storage tiers.

  • Samsung plans to increase prices for the upcoming Galaxy S27 series in Korea, according to a leaker on Naver, with hikes affecting various models and storage capacities.
  • Leaker Lanzuk claims the price jump could range from 100,000 won to more than 130,000 won, approximately $74 to $96, with estimates falling in the high 130,000 won range.
  • Beyond general base price hikes, the post suggests Samsung is setting a "steeper rate of increase" for storage variants, indicating a potentially larger price gap between different capacity options.
  • Potential cost drivers include newer UFS 5.1 storage and LPDDR6 RAM in the Galaxy S27 Pro and Ultra models, which may justify the reported price increases.
  • Previous models like the Galaxy S26 started at $900 for the base 256GB variant, a $100 increase over the 128GB Galaxy S25, establishing a precedent for ongoing price escalation.
