A price hike seems inevitable for the Galaxy S25 Ultra, as a report from Korea explains the factors that will impact the cost.
The Galaxy S25 launch is about a month away, and you might be making upgrade plans already, especially considering what you might have heard about the Snapdragon 8 Elite chip that will power the new Samsung flagships. The first phones running on the Elite chip are here, and they offer monster battery life in addition to great performance. That's a great teaser of what's expected from the Galaxy S25 series, especially the Ultra. But that Snapdragon 8 Elite chip won't come cheap.
Even with a stable currency, there's another factor driving up the manufacturing costs. All Galaxy S25 models will feature Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Elite chip, as Samsung's Exynos 2500 processor isn't likely to power any of the three models. The report says Qualcomm usually increases the price of each of its flagship chips by up to 30% over the previous model.
