Korean news reports that Ultra pricing can be over 2 million KRW (~$1,500), more than S25 at 1,299, since the cost of components is rising, which Samsung promises to cover where possible, but concedes that there are increases that are unavoidable. Base S26 rumored at $799-$859, Plus $999-$1,059. Extra amenities such as two-fold storage may be reduced due to Pre-order perks. The buzz gets generated around Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, improved cameras, although there are no significant design changes. This makes S26 take a position against iPhone 17 as a premium Android race.
