Smartphone manufacturers continue to implement price increases in the Indian market due to rising costs for semiconductor chipsets, memory modules, display panels, and logistics. Recent adjustments include Samsung raising prices across its S, M, and F series, with one Galaxy S25 variant increasing by as much as Rs 12,000. Oppo has raised prices on select Reno and A-series models by up to Rs 5,000. OnePlus and Vivo have reported increases ranging from Rs 500 to Rs 4,000. Realme has also implemented hikes of Rs 1,000 to Rs 4,000, notably affecting its 16-series flagship models.

The Galaxy A57 12GB variant rose to ₹72,499, while the A37 saw hikes between ₹3,000 and ₹6,000. Further increases for the Galaxy M47 5G and Galaxy F70 Pro 5G, totaling ₹3,000 across all variants, were set to take effect on September 9. Global trends reflect these pressures; Counterpoint Research reports that global smartphone retail prices rose by an average of 15% in 2026, with India seeing the most substantial increase at 21%. This spike is driven by a massive rise in the cost of memory components, specifically DRAM and NAND chips, as manufacturers prioritize high-bandwidth memory for AI data centers. New data indicates a A global shortage of High Bandwidth Memory (HBM) is further driving price increases across the semiconductor and consumer electronics sectors. In China, AI chipmakers including Huawei, Cambricon, MetaX, and Iluvatar CoreX have raised prices for current and next-generation processors by 20% to 50%. Huawei’s Ascend 950DT accelerator is now priced at over 250,000 yuan.
