The Samsung Galaxy S27 series can cost more than its predecessors, especially if you want to expand the storage. A new leak claims that Samsung is considering higher prices for the range and potentially a bigger difference between the storage variants.
THE The report comes from Korean leakster Lanzuk on Naverwho claims that the price of the Galaxy S27 series could rise in the “high 130,000 won range”, which is around $100. This would follow earlier rumors that the Galaxy S27 Ultra could start at $1,400 in the US.
But the leak gets more interesting when it comes to storage. Lanzuk reportedly says Samsung is considering a “steeper increase” between capacities, which could mean paying more than usual to upgrade to a model with more storage.
Exactly how much is not clear. It’s not clear from the wording whether Samsung would simply increase all storage tiers by the same amount, or whether the upgrade costs between capacities would increase as well. Previous generations had about a $200 gap between some storage options, so that difference could grow.
There is another reason to be cautious about this. The report comes from domestic Korean sources, meaning that the indicated growth is specific to Samsung’s domestic market. This does not necessarily mean that US, UK or European prices will increase by the same amount.
There are also conflicting leaks about the Galaxy S27’s wider lineup. A previous report suggested that Samsung would largely not change the price, only increasing it for the top model. This latest leak claims that all Galaxy S27 models could get a price increase.
The higher costs may be related to components Samsung is reportedly considering, including NAND storage and LPDDR6 RAM on “select models.” These updates could give Samsung a reason to revise the prices, although the source did not specify exactly which phones will get the new hardware.
The pricing picture of the Galaxy S27 is still quite unclear. Samsung isn’t expected to settle its final pricing until the launch early next year, so there’s plenty of time for those numbers to change.
