Samsung may increase the price of the Galaxy S25 Ultra smartphone

If the rumors come true, the Galaxy S25 Ultra may find itself in a very difficult situation. After all, with a price like some forecasts, it may have serious competition from the iPhone 16 Pro Max for $ 1199 and the Google Pixel 9 Pro XL for $ 1099. It seems that these smartphones will be very attractive to buyers.

What else is known

Yes, the Galaxy S25 Ultra does have the potential to become one of the best flagships, but if the price is too high, it could greatly affect its popularity.

Insiders say that the cost of components for the new Galaxy S25 Ultra will be $ 110 higher than the previous model, and this will definitely be reflected in the final price of the phone. In some countries, it may exceed $ 1,400. The reason for the increase in price, apparently, lies in several aspects. For example, the new Snapdragon 8 Elite chip will be 25-30% more expensive than the previous one, and this will add about $ 200 to the cost. Also, if Samsung chooses a new M14 panel to fix the “graininess” problem and increase brightness, it will cost more. But maybe they'll stick with the old M13 panel to save money, which would then call into question all the improvements.

It's also possible that the camera will get a new 50MP sensor instead of the 12MP one, which will of course significantly improve the pictures, but will also increase the cost. The phone will also support 120 FPS in games and new animations, which will further emphasize its premiumness. But all this, of course, will have its price.
