Nothing and Samsung both raised prices on a bunch of their models on the exact same day.
Nothing bumped up the Phone (4a) series and the cheaper Phone (4b). The base Phone (4a) 8GB + 128GB jumped ₹2,000 to ₹44,999, with the other storage options landing at ₹49,999 and ₹50,999. The Phone (4a) Pro got hit harder, up by as much as ₹5,000, so the base model is now ₹54,999 and the higher one ₹57,999. The entry-level Phone (4b) 8GB + 128GB went from ₹34,999 to ₹39,999, a full ₹5,000 jump.
Samsung went after its budget and lower mid-range phones even harder. The Galaxy A17 5G with the travel adapter saw the biggest spike, with the top 8GB + 256GB version shooting up by ₹14,500, from ₹23,999 all the way to ₹38,499 (more than 50% higher). Models without the adapter rose by ₹3,500. The Galaxy A27 went up by as much as ₹5,000, the Galaxy F17 by ₹3,500, and the basic Galaxy A07 5G by ₹1,000 to ₹2,000.
While several of these models can still be found at lower prices on Amazon and Flipkart (mostly Amazon), the overall trend is clear. Almost every smartphone brand has raised prices multiple times in 2026, and it’s only a matter of time before the remaining stock sells out and the new rates become permanent. Something that launched at ₹22,999 in March is now ₹34,999. So if you’re eyeing one of the phones mentioned above, or pretty much any model right now, it might be worth grabbing it sooner rather than later. Prices are only heading one way.
Samsung already adjusted the Galaxy F17 and M17 not long ago. Most people are pinning both companies’ moves on the same thing: DRAM and NAND flash memory prices have been climbing hard worldwide, and brands are finally passing those costs on to customers.
