Samsung has implemented a significant price hike for its Galaxy S25 smartphone series in India. Buyers eyeing the 256GB and 512GB storage variants will now face increased costs, with the highest jump reaching ₹12,000.
The revised pricing, which came into effect on August 19, 2026, was communicated through a Samsung channel-partner scheme document. While the specific reasons for the hike were not explicitly detailed beyond a mention of a "memory crunch," the impact on consumers is clear.
