Samsung Galaxy S26 series price leak hints at higher European pricing for S26, S26+, and S26 Ultra ahead of the expected February launch.<\/b>
\nSamsung\u2019s Galaxy S26 series is just a few weeks away from its official release. Ahead of it, a new report suggests that most models in the upcoming lineup will launch at higher prices than last year in Europe.
A fresh report from Dealabs claims that every model in the series, including the Galaxy S26, S26 Plus, and S26 Ultra, will see a price hike.Galaxy S26 and S26 Plus Expected Price
According to the leak, the standard Galaxy S26 with 256GB of storage could start at EUR 999\u2014a jump from the Galaxy S25\u2019s launch price of EUR 959. The increase isn\u2019t dramatic on its own, but it adds to the sense that Samsung\u2019s baseline flagship is slowly inching closer to four-figure pricing across the board.
The Galaxy S26 Plus\u2019 256GB variant is reportedly priced at EUR 1,269, up from EUR 1,169 last year. Higher storage options could also see increases. The Galaxy S26 with 512GB of storage is tipped to cost EUR 1,199, while the 512GB Galaxy S26+ could reach EUR 1,469.Galaxy S26 Ultra Expected Price
As for the S26 Ultra, the base 256GB version is expected to stick to the same EUR 1,469 price as the Galaxy S25 Ultra. However, higher storage variants are said to be more expensive.
The 512GB Ultra could rise to EUR 1,669, while a 1TB version may cost as much as EUR 1,969. The report also claims Samsung may drop the 128GB storage option entirely for the Galaxy S26 and S26+ in Europe.
As for why prices are going up, higher component costs are the most likely explanation. Chips, memory, and other key parts haven\u2019t exactly become cheaper, and Samsung isn\u2019t immune to that pressure.
That said, Dealabs notes that the extreme price hikes seen in earlier regional leaks, such as those from Bulgaria, are unlikely to apply across the wider Eurozone. Pre-order bonuses and carrier deals could also soften the blow for early buyers.<\/p>\n
