With prices of key smartphone components rising, Samsung Electronics raised the factory prices of some high-capacity smartphone models.
According to the industry on the 1st, Samsung Electronics on this day raised the factory price of the foldable smartphone "Galaxy Z Flip7," released in July last year, from 1,643,400 won to 1,738,000 won, and the "Galaxy Z Fold7" 512GB model from 2,537,700 won to 2,632,300 won. The factory prices were raised by 94,600 won each.
The Fold7 1TB model rose by 193,600 won, from 2,933,700 won to 3,127,300 won.
Samsung Electronics also raised the "Galaxy S25 Edge" 512GB model, released in May last year, from 1,639,000 won to 1,749,000 won, an increase of 110,000 won.
Considering the burden on consumers, Samsung Electronics excluded the 256GB model from the price hike and raised prices mainly for the higher-capacity 512GB and 1TB models, which have relatively higher cost burdens.
A Samsung Electronics official said, "With the prices of core components continuing to rise, we inevitably raised prices for some products."
However, it is reported that Samsung Electronics is not yet considering a price increase for the "Galaxy S26" series, which was released in March.
