Gate News message, April 15 — Samsung Electronics raised prices for select smartphones and tablets in the U.S. on April 14, according to PhoneArena and other foreign media. The Galaxy Z Flip7 512GB model increased from $1,220 to $1,300, an $80 hike. The Galaxy S25 Edge and Galaxy S25 FE also saw price increases of $80 and $40, respectively. The recently launched Galaxy S26 was excluded from this round of price adjustments.
Tablet prices also rose. The Galaxy Tab S11 base model now costs $900, and the Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra is priced at $1,299, both up $100. The Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra 1TB model saw the largest increase, rising $280 to $1,900. Samsung has not issued an official statement regarding the price hikes, but industry observers attribute the increases to rising costs from ongoing memory supply shortages.
The price adjustments signal potential increases for upcoming products in the second half of the year. PhoneArena predicts the Galaxy Tab S22 could start at around $1,300, and the Galaxy Z Flip 8’s 512GB model may launch at $1,300 instead of the previous $1,220. Industry analysts view this as evidence that major smartphone manufacturers can no longer absorb rising cost pressures, and Apple’s next products may also face similar price increases, according to MacRumors.
