What the coverage shows
Both outlets lead on Samsung raising Galaxy S26 prices by $100. Bloomberg Technology frames the move as broad across most of the lineup and links it to consumers bearing higher costs amid a memory shortage. The Verge is more specific about the US base model, saying the 256GB Galaxy S26 now costs nearly $1,000 and noting in its extract that Samsung had already said RAM price hikes were part of the reason.
