Samsung hikes Galaxy S26 prices in PH after global increases

Samsung has raised the prices of the Galaxy S26 Series in the Philippines, following similar increases in other countries. We previously reported on the potential hike, and now it has reached local buyers.

The Galaxy S26 Series launched in February, while the Galaxy S26 FE debuted in August and remains unchanged.

Prices in the Philippines (Samsung official site):

  • Galaxy S26 (256GB): ₱58,990 > ₱68,990
  • Galaxy S26 (512GB): ₱72,990 > ₱82,990
  • Galaxy S26+ (256GB): ₱74,990 > ₱84,990
  • Galaxy S26+ (512GB): ₱88,990 > ₱98,990
  • Galaxy S26 Ultra (256GB): ₱86,990 > ₱96,990
  • Galaxy S26 Ultra (512GB): ₱100,990 > ₱110,990
  • Galaxy S26 Ultra (1TB): ₱121,990 > ₱138,990
  • Galaxy S26 FE: Starts at ₱46,990 (unchanged)

These increases mirror adjustments already applied in South Korea, India, and the US, driven by rising memory and logistics costs.

The Galaxy S26 FE, which launched in August at ₱46,990, has not been affected by the price hike. This model remains the more affordable option in the lineup.
