Samsung Galaxy S26 Leaks: Samsung is getting ready to launch the Galaxy S26 series in India and other global markets next month. And this time, the biggest surprise might be the pricing. A new leak suggests Samsung could actually lower the price of its top model. The Galaxy S26 Ultra may arrive cheaper than last year’s Ultra. At the same time, the Galaxy S26 and Galaxy S26+ are expected to keep the same price as the S25 series. 

If this turns out to be true, Samsung’s next flagship lineup could offer better value than ever.

Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra Price Leak

Popular tipster Roland Quandt says the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra could be EUR 100 cheaper than the Galaxy S25 Ultra. This price drop is expected on both the 256GB and 512GB variants. 

S26: base models are pretty much the same price as last year, except for Ultra, which is ~100 Euro cheaper for 256 and 512GB S26U 1TB is the same as last year prices are changing in different ways. overall Samsung is "eating" the higher mem cost in most cases !no free preorder upgrades expected

Right now, the Galaxy S25 Ultra starts at EUR 1,469 in Europe. That means the S26 Ultra may launch at around EUR 1,369. In simple terms, buyers could save nearly Rs. 11,000 compared to last year’s model.

However, the top-end 1TB version may stay at the same price of EUR 1,849. So while the base and mid storage options become more affordable, the ultra-premium variant will likely remain unchanged.

If Samsung follows a similar pricing pattern in India, the Galaxy S26 Ultra could become a very tempting option for people who want a premium phone without paying even more than before.

Samsung Galaxy S26 & S26+ Price Expectations

The Samsung Galaxy S26 and Galaxy S26+ are expected to keep the same prices as the S25 and S25+ models. Currently, the Galaxy S25 starts at EUR 919, while the S25+ starts at EUR 1,159 for the 256GB version.

Even though memory and component costs are rising, the tipster claims Samsung may absorb these costs instead of passing them to customers. This means buyers may not see any price hike this year.

Samsung is also likely to bring back its popular pre-order offers. Buyers may get free storage upgrades, which means more space for photos, videos, and apps at the same price.

Reports suggest the Galaxy S26 series will launch globally on February 25, with sales beginning on March 11. If these leaks are accurate, Samsung is clearly trying to win users by offering better value, not just better specs.
