Samsung just raised prices on many Galaxy phones and tablets, here's the full list

Phones, foldables, and nearly every tablet Samsung sells in the U.S. just got more expensive, with no announcement and no warning.

If you still think that it's better to wait for a few months after a product launch to save some cash on electronics, you might be wrong. Samsung has quietly raised the price of some of its 2024 and 2025 devices on its official U.S. website. The list includes Galaxy Z Flip 7 in its 512GB configuration, the Galaxy S25 FE, the niche Galaxy S25 Edge, and almost the entirety of Samsung's tablet portfolio.

The 512GB Galaxy Z Flip 7, which originally debuted at $1,219.99, is now listed at $1,299.99. The Galaxy S25 FE (256GB) jumped from $709.99 to $749.99. But Samsung's tablet segment is where it gets the most brutal.

The base Galaxy Tab S11 saw a $100 bump across the board, while the premium 1TB Tab S11 Ultra ballooned from $1,619.99 to an eye-watering $1,899.99 overnight. Samsung's Galaxy Tab S series was the company's cost-effective answer to people also considering Apple's iPad Pro. But at nearly $1900 now, it is a much harder sell against the M5 iPad Pro, which is currently retailing at less than $1500 on Amazon. Even mid-range legacy models like the Tab S10 FE and Tab S10 Lite weren't spared with a price increase of around $50 to $70.

Here's the full list of devices that are now more expensive:

• Galaxy Tab S11 - from $799.99 to $899.99 (128GB)
• Galaxy Tab S11 - from $859.99 to $999.99 (256GB)
• Galaxy Tab S11 - from $979.99 to $1,199.99 (512GB)
• Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra - from $1,199.99 to $1,299.99 (256GB)
• Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra - from $1,319.99 to $1,499.99 (512GB)
• Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra - from $1,619.99 to $1,899.99 (1TB)
• Galaxy Tab S10 FE - from $499.99 to $549.99 (128GB)
• Galaxy Tab S10 FE - from $569.99 to $669.99 (256GB)
• Galaxy Tab S10 FE Plus - from $649.99 to $699.99 (128GB)
• Galaxy Tab S10 FE Plus - from $749.99 to $819.99 (256GB)
• Galaxy Tab S10 Lite - from $349.99 to $399.99 (128GB)
• Galaxy Tab S10 Lite - from $419.99 to $489.99 (256GB)
• Galaxy Tab S10 Plus - from $999.99 to $1,099.99 (256GB)
• Galaxy Tab S10 Plus - from $1,119.99 to $1,299.99 (512GB)
• Galaxy Tab A11 Plus - from $249.99 to $299.99 (128GB)
• Galaxy Tab A11 Plus - from $309.99 to $379.99 (256GB)
• Galaxy Tab A11+ 5G - from $279.99 to $329.99

The reason all of this is happening is because of the highly volatile semiconductor market. As AI has boomed over the last few quarters, companies are building more and more data centers. Memory suppliers like SanDisk and SK Hynix reported massive revenue spikes, with SanDisk alone pulling in over $3 billion in Q2 2026.

With this, it's certain that Samsung is definitely willing to risk consumer backlash by raising prices on existing, months-old inventory. The launch price of upcoming devices is almost certainly going to rise, too. Devices such as the Galaxy Fold 8 and Z Flip 8, which are already expensive and are coming later this year, might see the same trend.
