In comparison to other flagship models such as iPhone 16 Pro Max or Google Pixel 9 Pro XL, the Galaxy S25 Ultra may become the most expensive flagship. Therefore, the price hike may cause significant doubt in buyer’s minds about what flagship they should purchase since there is a huge price difference.
What may cause the price hike for Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra?
Reports suggest that Samsung is bearing a huge production cost for the upcoming Galaxy S25 Ultra. Apart from these factors, the new Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite chip is also said to be expensive due to the major performance boost in comparison to last year’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 3.
Additionally, for Galaxy S25 Ultra, the tech giant is rumoured to introduce a bigger display with new technology. The cameras are also slated for an upgrade with a high-res ultrawide lens and a new variable-zoom telephoto lens. Therefore, all these factors may result in a significant price increase for the Galaxy S25 Ultra.
