The excitement surrounding Samsung’s Galaxy Unpacked event on January 22 has reached new heights, especially with the recent leak regarding the pricing of the much-anticipated Galaxy S25 series. The event, set to unveil the latest flagships — the Galaxy S25, S25+, and S25 Ultra — is already generating buzz, but it’s the rumoured price hikes that are making waves.
According to a leak by Tarun Vats on X (formerly Twitter), the Galaxy S25 series could see a significant price increase compared to last year’s Galaxy S24 models. The base model of the Galaxy S25 is said to start at Rs 84,999 for the 12GB RAM + 256GB storage variant, which is a steep increase from the Galaxy S24’s base price of Rs 74,999. If you’re looking for more storage, the 12GB RAM + 512GB variant of the Galaxy S25 could cost you Rs 94,999.
For those considering the Galaxy S25+, the price might start at Rs 1,04,999 for the 12GB RAM + 256GB storage model, up from the S24+’s starting price of Rs 99,999. The top-tier variant with 12GB RAM + 512GB storage could be priced at Rs 1,14,999.
The Galaxy S25 Ultra, the most premium offering of the series, could start at a hefty Rs 1,34,999 for the base 12GB RAM + 256GB storage model. The 16GB RAM + 512GB variant may go up to Rs 1,44,999, with the highest configuration (16GB RAM + 1TB storage) potentially hitting Rs 1,64,999.
These price hikes are likely tied to the adoption of the new Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, which comes with increased production costs. While Samsung is already accepting pre-orders, it remains to be seen if the new features and performance will justify these premium prices.
