If this rumor turns out to be valid, it means that all other experts and insiders were mistaken, and some Samsung enthusiasts might rethink their choice of purchasing the Galaxy S26 series. A little caution here: we are not certain about the origin of this information or its trustworthiness. The person leaking the info is generally very reliable, but the source itself could be incorrect.
Pricing Details from Bulgaria
As per MysteryLupin on X (see below), the initial prices for the Galaxy S26 in Bulgaria are significantly above the suggested retail prices (MSRPs) of the Galaxy S25 series. The Galaxy S26 with 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage is expected to retail for €1,199, which is €240 more than the German MSRP for the 256GB model from 2025. For those eyeing the compact Galaxy S26 with 512GB of storage, the price could be an astonishing €1,429, which is €350 pricier than its predecessor.
Price Comparison for the Galaxy S26 Plus
The leak also suggests that the larger Galaxy S26 Plus will retail at around €1,499 for the model with 12GB RAM and 256GB storage, representing a €350 increase from last year’s pricing. If you want the model with 512GB storage, it could set you back €1,729, a whopping €460 more than the Galaxy S25 Plus.
The High-End Galaxy S26 Ultra
Lastly, the Galaxy S26 Ultra is said to start at €1,739 for the version with 12GB RAM and 256GB storage, which is €290 above the previous model. For those opting for 512GB, the cost might be €1,969 (€400 more), and for the version boasting 12GB RAM and 1TB storage, Samsung could demand €2,329, breaking the €2,000 mark for the first time.
We don’t have the original prices for the Galaxy S25 series in Bulgaria, as the country has recently adopted the euro as its official currency. Thus, the S25 prices mentioned earlier refer to the launch MSRPs in Germany. It’s quite possible that these prices will be relevant for the Bulgarian market but may not apply to Germany, although that seems less likely. Bulgaria’s VAT stands at 20%, which is 1% higher than in Germany. In a subsequent tweet, the leaker hinted that a 128GB variant could also be making a return.
