Last week, Samsung raised prices for its 512GB and 1TB variants of the Z Fold7 sold in the US, and it has now done the same for a bunch of smartphones and tablets across its official online store.
The affected smartphones include the 512GB versions of the Galaxy Z Flip7 and S25 Edge, as well as the 256GB version of the Galaxy S25 FE. The Z Flip7 is now $80 more expensive, as is the S25 Edge. Galaxy S25 FE (256GB) is $40 costlier than before.
A large number of Galaxy Tab devices were also affected by the price increase. The most notable example is the Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra with 1TB storage, which is now $280 more expensive than before.
The 512GB storage Galaxy Tab S11 is $220 costlier than before, while the previous-gen Tab S10+ with 512GB storage is now $180 more expensive. You can check out the entire list of affected devices in the table below.

While Samsung has not released an official statement on why it is raising prices, rising RAM and flash memory costs are the likely culprits here. It remains to be seen if, or more importantly, when Samsung will adopt a similar policy for other regions and whether the change will include additional devices.
