Samsung Has Quietly Raised Prices on Its Smartphones and Tablets.

Posted on by

Prices are rising across many goods and services, and technology is no exception . Global events over the past year, from tariffs to oil supply disruptions, have pushed companies to raise prices on smartphones, tablets, and much more for consumers. At this point, it’s refreshing when a company doesn’t raise prices—as when Apple released a brand-new MacBook for just $599 .

Price increases aren’t limited to new products. As Phone Arena reports , Samsung recently raised prices on a number of its devices, including some smartphones and many tablets. These include the following phones, which have seen price increases, as reported:

  • Galaxy Z Flip 7 : $1,219.99 to $1,299.99 (512GB)

  • Galaxy S25 FE : $709.99 to $749.99 (256GB)

  • Galaxy S25 Edge : $1,219.99 to $1,299.99 (512GB)

You’ll notice that the company’s newest flagship smartphones, the S26, S26 Plus, and S26 Ultra, are absent from this list, which is somewhat of a plus. Of course, these devices are relatively new and already fall into the company’s most expensive price segment—though if you’re willing to wait, you can already find great deals and discounts.

Samsung tablets have been hit much harder than smartphones. Samsung is raising prices on seven different tablet models—eight if you include the Wi-Fi and 5G versions of the Galaxy Tab A11 Plus. The company is also raising prices for each storage option. For example, the price of the Galaxy Tab S11 will increase regardless of whether you choose the 128GB, 256GB, or 512GB model. Here are the price increases that have already occurred:

What do you think at the moment?

  • Galaxy Tab S11 : $799.99 to $899.99 (128GB)

  • Galaxy Tab S11 : $859.99 to $999.99 (256GB)

  • Galaxy Tab S11 : $979.99 to $1,199.99 (512GB)

  • Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra Tablet : $1,199.99 to $1,299.99 (256GB)

  • Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra : $1,319.99 to $1,499.99 (512GB)

  • Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra : $1,619.99 to $1,899.99 (1TB)

  • Galaxy Tab S10 FE Tablet : $499.99 to $549.99 (128GB)

  • Galaxy Tab S10 FE Tablet : $569.99 to $669.99 (256GB)

  • Galaxy Tab S10 FE Plus Tablet : $649.99 to $699.99 (128GB)

  • Galaxy Tab S10 FE Plus : $749.99 to $819.99 (256GB)

  • Galaxy Tab S10 Lite Tablet : $349.99 to $399.99 (128GB)

  • Galaxy Tab S10 Lite Tablet : $419.99 to $489.99 (256GB)

  • Galaxy Tab S10 Plus : $999.99 to $1,099.99 (256GB)

  • Galaxy Tab S10 Plus : $1,119.99 to $1,299.99 (512GB)

  • Galaxy Tab A11 Plus Tablet : $249.99 to $299.99 (128GB)

  • Galaxy Tab A11 Plus Tablet : $309.99 to $379.99 (256GB)

  • Galaxy Tab A11 Plus 5G Tablet : $279.99 to $329.99

However, just because these are the new MSRPs for these devices doesn’t mean you’ll necessarily pay full price. As with the Galaxy S26 line, you can find phones like the Z Flip 7 at discounted prices at retailers like Amazon, so compare prices before making a purchase. However, these price increases can have a ripple effect across markets: even retailers offering discounts may raise their prices to match the new MSRPs. Rarely does a company’s price increase mean that prices will remain the same. Even more rare is it that prices will decrease.
