- Samsung Galaxy S25 and S25 Ultra could get a ₹10,000 price hike in October.

- The reported revisions are expected in India during the first half of October.
Samsung price hike in India could be the next major change for buyers of the company’s premium smartphones. MobileTelco has received information from a source claiming that Samsung is preparing another price revision for select flagship Galaxy models in the country.
According to the information shared with MobileTelco, the Galaxy S25 and Galaxy S25 Ultra prices could increase by ₹10,000 during the first week of October. The Galaxy Z Fold8 series is also reportedly expected to become ₹10,000 more expensive by October 10. Samsung has not officially announced these reported revisions, so the final pricing should be treated as unconfirmed until the company or its retail channels update the prices.
Samsung Price Hike in India: What Is Reported?
The reported Samsung price hike appears to cover multiple premium Galaxy smartphones rather than a single model. The information received by MobileTelco points to the Galaxy S25, Galaxy S25 Ultra and Galaxy Z Fold8 series.

The reported increase is ₹10,000 for the affected models or series. However, the information available at this stage does not specify whether every storage configuration will receive exactly the same revision. Buyers should therefore check the final Samsung India or authorised retail price for their exact variant before making a purchase decision.
Galaxy S25 and S25 Ultra Price Hike Reportedly Coming
According to the source information received by MobileTelco, the Samsung Galaxy S25 and Galaxy S25 Ultra are expected to see a ₹10,000 price increase in the first week of October 2026.
This would be a notable change for buyers considering Samsung’s older flagship generation during the festive shopping period. The Galaxy S25 is currently listed on Samsung India at ₹74,999 for the 128GB model, ₹84,999 for 256GB and ₹1,04,999 for 512GB. These are the prices visible on Samsung’s website at the time of writing and can include offer-related differences depending on the listing.
Samsung’s official launch pricing for the Galaxy S25 originally started at ₹80,999 for the 12GB RAM and 256GB storage version, while the Galaxy S25 Ultra launched at ₹1,29,999 for 12GB RAM and 256GB storage. Samsung has already revised Galaxy S25 pricing during its lifecycle, so the latest report would represent another possible change rather than the first price revision for the series.

Galaxy Z Fold8 Series Could Get ₹10,000 Costlier
The second part of the report concerns Samsung’s latest foldable lineup. The Galaxy Z Fold8 series is reportedly expected to receive a ₹10,000 price increase in India by October 10.
Samsung officially launched the Galaxy Z Fold8 in India in July 2026. Samsung’s India website currently lists the device and its specifications, including a lightweight 201-gram design, a 50MP wide camera, a 50MP ultra-wide camera and Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 for Galaxy processor.
Because the report refers to the Galaxy Z Fold8 series, it is not yet clear from the available information whether the ₹10,000 revision will apply identically to every Fold8-related model or storage option. The final price list will need to be checked once Samsung updates its official store or authorised sales channels.
Reported Samsung Price Hike Timeline
| Galaxy model | Reported price increase | Expected timing | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Galaxy S25 | ₹10,000 | First week of October | Reported, not officially confirmed |
| Galaxy S25 Ultra | ₹10,000 | First week of October | Reported, not officially confirmed |
| Galaxy Z Fold8 series | ₹10,000 | By October 10 | Reported, not officially confirmed |
Why the Report Matters for Galaxy Buyers
The timing of the reported Samsung price hike is important because October is a major shopping period in India. A ₹10,000 revision can make a meaningful difference to the final cost of a premium smartphone, particularly when buyers are comparing bank offers, exchange benefits and festive discounts.
It is also worth separating a list price revision from an effective sale price. Online retailers and Samsung itself can offer cashback, exchange bonuses, bank discounts or other promotions that change the amount a customer actually pays. A higher listed price does not necessarily mean every buyer will immediately pay ₹10,000 more after all offers are applied.
Samsung has also recently changed pricing for other Galaxy models in India. Public reports in September 2026 said the Galaxy S26 range received price revisions, showing that price changes are already affecting Samsung’s premium smartphone portfolio.
Should You Buy a Galaxy Phone Before October?
If you are already planning to buy a Galaxy S25, Galaxy S25 Ultra or Galaxy Z Fold8, the reported dates are worth keeping in mind. However, buyers should not treat the reported ₹10,000 increase as an official Samsung price change yet.
The practical approach is to compare the current official price with the final price shown by Samsung and authorised retailers around the reported revision dates. Also check whether a festive promotion, bank offer or exchange benefit changes the effective purchase price.
