Samsung Raises Galaxy S26 Series Prices in India by Rs 12,000 to Rs 20,000
Samsung has increased the prices of its Galaxy S26 series smartphones in India, with reported hikes ranging from Rs 12,000 to Rs 20,000 depending on the variant and source. The base Galaxy S26 now starts near or above Rs 1 lakh, with revised prices effective from September 20. This adjustment aligns with broader industry trends of rising smartphone costs amid global supply challenges. Availability is limited on major e-commerce platforms, and the price changes bring Samsung's models closer to Apple's iPhone pricing in India.
