Summary
Samsung’s Galaxy S27 lineup is rumored to cost at least KRW 130,000 more in South Korea, with the base-model increase serving as the minimum rather than the ceiling.
Higher storage tiers could see steeper jumps: the S27 Ultra may start at $1,399 versus $1,299 for the S26 Ultra, while the 512GB version could reach $1,549 or more.
The 1TB S27 Ultra could approach $2,000, up from the S26 Ultra’s $1,799 launch price, extending the premium most sharply at the top end.
AI-driven chip shortages are cited as the main pressure point, and top-tier S27 Ultra variants may also use costlier LPDDR6 RAM instead of LPDDR5X.
The report is still an unconfirmed rumor limited to South Korea, though it adds to broader signs of rising smartphone memory and storage costs.
