"The Galaxy A37 and A57 are expected to drop next month, and usually, the current models become more affordable. However, according to the latest tip, the company is planning to hike the prices of Galaxy A models in India by around INR 1,000. The Galaxy A56, on the other hand, will see its price go up by INR 2,000. The new prices will go into effect next week as early as Monday."
"The most probable reason for the price hikes is the cost of memory chips. You've probably already seen the memes online. They are all about a shortage in the memory segment due to soaring demand for HBM and DDR5 DRAM chips, which are essential for AI datacenters. If this is indeed the reason for the Galaxy A price increases, it will come as no surprise if other manufacturers follow suit and ramp up prices as well."
Samsung plans price increases for Galaxy A models in India, raising most A-series models by roughly INR 1,000 and the Galaxy A56 by INR 2,000, with new pricing taking effect as early as next week. The likely driver is rising memory chip costs caused by a shortage and soaring demand for HBM and DDR5 DRAM used in AI datacenters. Higher memory costs could prompt other smartphone manufacturers to increase prices as well. Several recent flagship launches from other brands have already appeared with higher price tags compared to their predecessors, indicating a broader market trend.
