Samsung Raises US Prices on Galaxy Z Flip 7, S25 FE, Tablets, and More

Samsung has increased prices on several smartphones and tablets sold in the United States. The price changes affect higher storage options for some smartphones and all storage configurations for the tablet lineup. Samsung has not provided an official explanation for the price hike.

The recent increases follow a similar rise in prices for higher storage configurations of the Galaxy Z Fold 7, announced last week.

Samsung’s New US Price Increases

Price increases for smartphones mainly affect higher storage options, while base models stay the same. Confirmed changes include:

• Galaxy Z Flip 7 with 512GB, now costing $1,299.99, up from $1,219.99
• Galaxy S25 FE with 256GB has risen to $749.99 from $709.99
• Galaxy S25 Edge with 512GB has increased by $80 to reach $1,299.99.

Tablet Price Changes

The price increases for tablets now apply to all storage options, not just the higher-end models. Confirmed changes include:

• Galaxy Tab S11 128GB, which has gone up from $799.99 to $899.99
• Galaxy Tab S10 FE, with a $50 increase to $549.99
• Galaxy Tab A11 Plus has also experienced a $50
• Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra have seen increases of over $200.

Why Samsung Is Raising Prices

The increase reflects a broader shortage of memory supplies affecting the consumer electronics market. Growing demand for AI infrastructure from companies such as Google, OpenAI, and Meta has increased the need for high-bandwidth memory and high-density storage. Manufacturers are shifting production toward higher-margin AI chips, which is contributing to supply constraints and driving up component costs for devices like phones and tablets.

Samsung has not commented on the price changes or indicated if further adjustments are expected.
