A recent report containing the Samsung Galaxy S26 series price tags for Bulgaria managed to scare quite a few people. Well, we’re here to calm everyone down, as the tipster who shared the information originally decided to set the record straight.
The information came from Arsene Lupin, who shared detailed price tags for the Galaxy S26 series in Bulgaria. The pricing for the phones started at €1,199, while the most expensive Galaxy S26 Ultra model’s price was also mentioned, and it’s €2,329.
Tipster clarified the extremely high Galaxy S26 series price leak, appeasing users
These are extremely high price tags, which managed to scare a lot of people, as Arsene Lupin is usually very accurate. Well, he shared another post on X, in which he explained why this is the case for Bulgaria , but won’t be the case elsewhere.
You see, Bulgaria adopted the euro as its currency this year, and the transition is not exactly smooth. These price tags reflect the situation, as the prices for the Galaxy S26 series will be extremely high in that European country.
The source mentioned that these are not the prices that will be in France or most other European countries. You can expect the phones to be more affordable in other European countries, and also in the US, of course.
The prices for the Samsung Galaxy S series smartphones are more affordable in the US in general. So, don’t let these prices fool you. We’re still not sure if the phones will be a bit more expensive than their predecessors in the US or not, as we’ve seen a ton of contrary reports, but if they end up being higher, it won’t be a big jump.
The 128GB storage variant of the Galaxy S26 could arrive after all
It’s also worth noting that the 128GB storage variant of the Galaxy S26 may not be dead yet. Reports have been saying that it won’t launch, but according to the tipster, that model could make an appearance after all. If we had to guess, we’d say that it’ll launch in some countries only (if at all).
As a reminder, we’ve shared the Samsung Galaxy S26 , Galaxy S26+, and Galaxy S26 Ultra renders and specs recently. All three smartpones are expected to launch on February 25.
