Hold onto your wallets, because the Samsung Galaxy S26 pricing drama just got even more confusing! Another leak has surfaced, and it’s throwing a wrench into the mix with some surprising price hikes. This time, the info comes from France, so keep in mind these figures might only apply to that market—VAT differences across Europe can tweak prices slightly. But here’s the scoop: the base 256GB Galaxy S26 is rumored to cost €40 more than its predecessor, while the 512GB model jumps a staggering €120. The S26+ isn’t far behind, with the 256GB version allegedly €100 pricier than the S25+, and the 512GB model up €90. Interestingly, the S26 Ultra seems to be playing it cool—its 256GB variant matches the S25 Ultra’s price, but the 512GB and 1TB options climb €80 and €140, respectively. And this is the part most people miss: earlier leaks claimed prices would stay the same, while another suggested a jaw-dropping €500 increase. This latest leak lands somewhere in the middle, leaving us scratching our heads. But here’s the silver lining: Samsung’s rumored February 25 unveiling is just three weeks away, so we’ll know the truth soon enough. Check out the full price breakdown below—it’s a wild ride!
