JAKARTA - The latest rumors regarding the Samsung Galaxy S26 family have started a heated discussion, especially about the price. The price leak for the European market mentions that the highest variant of the Galaxy S26 Ultra can be priced up to €2,329 or around Rp46.2 million, making it one of the most expensive flagship phones ever prepared by Samsung.

This information is still a rumor and has not been officially confirmed by Samsung. In fact, there have been several other price leaks before with conflicting details. Even so, this latest leak gives an idea of the potential for a significant price increase on the Galaxy S26 line.

This price rumor was shared by a leaker named Arsene Lupin through the X platform. In the leak, the standard version of the Galaxy S26 is said to be priced starting at €1,199 for a 256GB storage variant, or equivalent to around Rp23.78 million.

However, it is almost certain that Samsung will not set a price above Rp. 23 million for the basic model of the Galaxy S26 in the US market. However, many parties assess that a price increase is still very possible compared to the 2025 Galaxy S25 series.

This price increase is said to be triggered by the increasing cost of components, especially RAM and NAND, which directly impacts the cost of producing devices.

For other variants, the price is said to continue to increase. The Galaxy S26 with 512GB storage is rumored to be sold for €1,429 or around Rp28.35 million. Meanwhile, the Galaxy S26 Plus is estimated to be priced at €1,499 or Rp29.74 million for the 256GB variant, and €1,729 or around Rp34.30 million for the 512GB version.

The most eye-catching is the Galaxy S26 Ultra. This flagship phone is rumored to come in three storage variants. Prices start at €1,739 or around Rp34.50 million, rising to €1,969 or Rp39.07 million, and reaching €2,329 or around Rp46.20 million for the highest variant with 1TB storage.

For comparison, the Galaxy S25 Ultra 1TB variant when launched was priced at around US$1,659 or equivalent to under Rp27 million. The surge in prices to penetrate Rp40 million is considered unlikely for the United States market, although the price increase is still considered almost certain to occur.

Interestingly, Arsene Lupin also mentioned in a separate post that the Galaxy S26 still has the potential to come in a 128GB storage variant. This is in contrast to a number of previous rumors that said Samsung would remove the option this year.

The presence of the 128GB variant could be good news for consumers, especially if the price of the Galaxy S26 series actually experiences a sharp increase. This variant has the potential to be the most affordable option for users who want to try the latest Galaxy flagship without having to dig too deep into their pockets.

Until now, Samsung has not given an official statement regarding the price and storage configuration of the Galaxy S26. With the launch still a few weeks away, these numbers are still subject to change.
