This year, many Android manufacturers have raised prices on already-released devices, citing a sharp increase in memory chip costs caused by a global shortage. Samsung, which also produces memory chips, did the same by hiking prices on its foldable phones in its home market and on tablets in the United States. The trend now extends to Europe, affecting key flagship models.
According to Greek tech outlet Techmaniacs, Samsung plans to significantly increase smartphone prices in Greece. The adjustment covers the entire Galaxy S lineup, the Galaxy Z Fold 7, the Galaxy Z Flip 7, and the FE series. For context on the Galaxy S lineup pricing history, readers can review details on the Samsung Galaxy S23. Starting in early June, prices are expected to rise by about 100 to nearly 200 euros (around $110 to $220), based on storage capacity. Models with higher storage tiers will face larger hikes.
If the report is accurate, price hikes in other European markets, including Russia, may only be a matter of time. Samsung’s move reflects broader industry trends as manufacturers pass rising component costs to buyers. This aligns with recent discussions regarding upcoming Samsung Unpacked launch date leaks and product cycles. Tracking Samsung’s evolving pricing strategy over recent generations shows earlier models like the Samsung Galaxy S21 Series also provide useful context.
