How much will the Galaxy S26 Ultra price be in the Iranian market?

The Galaxy S26 Ultra has not yet been officially announced. However, in the next month or two, we should see its official unveiling and release. But what worries many users about this phone is the price of the Galaxy S26 Ultra. Rumors say that due to the significant increase in the price of parts, the final price of this phone and other Galaxy S26 models will increase a lot. But is this true? In both scenarios of stability and price increase, what price is considered for S26 Ultra in the Iranian market? In this article, we will discuss this issue.

For more information on the Galaxy S26 Ultra pricing process, you can see the following article.

The price of Galaxy S26 Ultra in the global market; Price freeze or backbreaking increase?

In recent months, one of the most serious concerns about Samsung’s 2026 flagships has been price increases due to rising component costs, global inflationary pressures, and the weakening of the South Korean won. Many reports even announced the inevitable increase in the price of flagship phones; A scenario that could weaken Samsung’s position in direct competition with Apple and Chinese brands.

However, a report by PhoneArena, citing a Korean source, turned the page and delivered some positive news for the market. Samsung has decided to keep the price of the Galaxy S26 Ultra at the level of the previous generation.

Samsung’s hard decision; Maintaining the market instead of increasing the price

From a strategic point of view, this decision is completely understandable. The Galaxy S Ultra is no longer a cheap product, and every price increase increases the risk of losing part of the market; Especially in situations where:

• Apple has adopted a more conservative pricing policy, and even otherwise it is very popular.
• Chinese brands are present in the market with powerful hardware and very competitive prices.

Samsung is well aware that directly increasing the price of the S26 Ultra could drive loyal users to alternatives.

How much will the Galaxy S26 Ultra cost in the global market?

According to reliable reports, the base price of the Galaxy S26 Ultra will not change in the US market and the global market and will remain in the same range as the previous generation. To recall, the official prices of the Galaxy S25 Ultra in the US market were as follows:

• 12/256 GB $1,300
• 12/512 GB ⬅️ $1,420
• 1TB/12GB ⬅️ $1,660

According to Samsung’s price freeze policy, the most likely scenario is:

• 12/256 GB model ⬅️ about 1,300 dollars,
• 12/512 GB model ⬅️ about 1,420 dollars
• And the 1TB/12GB model is about $1,660

be sold in the market. It means that we will not see any direct increase for the current configurations. But there is one important point about the S26 Ultra, and that is the possibility of introducing a 16GB model. A configuration that did not exist in the previous generation.

Some credible rumors suggest that Samsung might include 16GB of RAM in the Galaxy S26 Ultra, at least for a 1TB model. Due to the fact that the price of RAM memory has increased drastically, this may not happen. But Samsung needs to compete with other companies’ flagship phones by increasing the amount of RAM. In such a case, Samsung can indirectly increase the price without breaking the price freeze promise.

If a version such as 1TB/16 GB is introduced, it is quite logical that the price of the Galaxy S26 Ultra in this model will exceed $1,700 and reach $1,800. This increase will be justified not as the cost of the whole series, but as a new model with higher specifications.

The price of Galaxy S26 Ultra in the Iranian market

In the article that was published a few days ago in Digikala Mag, we reviewed the price of the S25 Ultra phone. In that article, we saw that this phone, with a significant price increase, is in the price range of 160 to 255 million Tomans for the configuration of 12/256 to 1TB/12GB. Meanwhile, its price has now dropped to less than $1,000.

But this price should not be considered for Galaxy S26 Ultra. At the time of arrival, this phone will cost at least 1300 and at most 1660 or 1800 dollars. This means that users will probably have to pay something like 200 million tomans for the basic model, taking into account the registry price. 512 GB and 1 TB models may be priced up to 250 million and 300 million tomans, respectively, at the very beginning of the release.

However, these figures are based on the price bubble. That means, maybe after a short period of time, we will see a slight price drop and see Samsung’s new flagships in the price range of 190 to 280 million tomans.

summary

The price of the Galaxy S26 Ultra is not going to be cheap at all. If we do not consider the sharp increase in the price of parts in the world market, the situation in the Iranian market is so unpredictable that it is impossible to imagine a small number for such a product. According to the situation we are witnessing now, it is very unlikely that the future flagship of Samsung will be priced below 180 million tomans. However, nothing is certain and we have to wait for the official release of this phone.
