Samsung warns Galaxy prices may rise as AI-driven memory shortage sends RAM and SSD costs soaring in 2026
Samsung co-CEO TM Roh says Galaxy devices aren’t “immune” to the global memory crunch. TrendForce forecasts sharp DRAM and NAND price jumps in Q1 2026. The “AI boom” is now showing up in the places consumers feel it fastest: the price of everyday tech. On Monday, Samsung’s mobile chief signaled that higher memory-chip costs could force price increases for future Galaxy devices—just as new industry forecasts point to another major jump in DRAM and NAND prices in early 2026.
