The reports spotted by tipster Jukanlosreve come from the publications Yonhap News and The JoongAng. Both reports (machine translated) suggest price hikes are coming but the amount is different between the two. Both articles blame current political turmoil in Korea for the potential price increases. The Yonhap report claims a slight increase mostly due to exchange rates for South Korea's won, which may increase prices on imported parts for Samsung's flagship handsets. In Korea the Galaxy 24 Ultra started at 1,698,400 won or about $1,180 USD. The exchange rate has increased to 1,450 won to $1 USD. YonHap did not speculate on how big the 'slight' increase might be outside of the exchange rate issues. The Exynos 2400 version of the S24 and S24 Plus were the same price as the as the S23 versions while the Snapdragon 8-powered S24 Ultra saw a price increase of 100,00 won ($70), which aligns with the $100 increase the Ultra saw in the United States. During a conference call in July, Daniel Araujo, head of planning at Samsung Electronic said, "there are concerns about decreased profitability due to the continued increase in the unit price of major components, but we are continuing to pursue an 'upselling' strategy to grow sales centered on premium products in order to minimize the burden." The JoongAng reports that Taiwan's TSMC, a foundry giant making chips for many companies including Qualcomm , Apple and Google , commented on the instability in Korea suggesting that it might hurt Samsung. The founder, Dr. Morris Chang, said, "(Korea's) recent political turmoil will not help the company's management at all." That report also cites the poor exchange rate of the won as potential problem for Samsung. Though, it does point out that Samsung is making investments in building semiconductor factories in the U.S. via a partnership with the Biden administration utilizing fixed contracts that may help them avoid some exchange rate fallout . Where the JoongAng differs is in suggesting that the domestic price of the Galaxy S25 will raise by 150,000 won (about $105 USD). "Since the overseas average selling price (ASP) of Samsung smartphones is lower than the domestic market, even if the exchange rate rises, the effect (of Samsung’s overseas sales on profitability) will be limited, so they will have no choice but to adjust the domestic price," an insider told JoongAng. What could this mean for Galaxy S25 prices in U.S.? It's already been suggested that the price of the Galaxy S25 Ultra will be higher next year for a number of reasons, beyond the current political issues in Korea. Inflation in general has lead to price increases across the board and there does not seem to be an end in sight. The bigger issue is the cost of the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset which has been reported to be 25 to 30% more expensive than the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 currently in the best Android phones. Samsung has reportedly struggled with its own Exynos chipset, which may have defrayed some of the costs, but the new Qualcomm chip is expected to power the entire S25 lineup. As suggested above, apparently, the Galaxy sells for lower prices in other countries, so it's not a guarantee that Samsung raises prices outside of Korea. However, as it currently stands, it's looking more and more likely that picking up next year's flagship Android phone will hit your wallet harder than previous years. More from Tom's Guide

Hyderabad: Soon after the Congress government withdrew the notification for acquiring land for establishing a pharma village in Lagcherla village in Kodangal constituency, chief minister A Revanth Reddy announced that the government would establish an industrial area there. Addressing a public meeting held in Mahabubnagar on Saturday, November 30, the concluding day’s ceremony of the three-day “Farmers’ Festival” being held as part of “Praja Palana Vajrotsavalu”, CM Revanth assured farmers that the state government would offer Rs 20 lakh instead of Rs 10 lakh for land acquired to set up the industrial area. He also said that the move would generate 25,000 jobs, benefitting families whose land was used to set up the industrial area. He spoke about the recent incident Lagcherla protest where government officials including the district collector were attacked after several agitating farmers opposed the coming up of Pharma City, an industrial area project, citing it would take away their lands and threaten their livelihoods. CM Revanth blamed leaders of the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) for inciting the attack on government officials. “Will the history have mercy on me if I give away your land to someone else? Will history pardon me if I am unable to bring industries into this region and create employment as a chief minister?” he asked. Recalling the tragic case of Malla Reddy, a farmer who set himself ablaze after his land was taken away for the construction of Mallanna Sagar reservoir in Vemulghat village during the BRS rule, CM Revanth dared Siddipet BRS MLA T Harish Rao to visit the deceased farmer’s house. He also dared Prime Minister Narendra Modi and BRS chief K Chandrashekar Rao (KCR) to debate and prove if there was any other state in the country that waived off farm loans amounting to Rs 21,000 crore for 25 lakh farmers within a year. He said that he was willing to debate the farm loan waiver being implemented by the Congress government on the floor of the Assembly in the upcoming Winter Session. “I never served as a minister in any government in power, but you made me the CM. It is a great opportunity for us which has come 70 years after Burgula Ramakrishna Rao was made the first chief minister of the state representing the Palamuru region,” Revanth said. He urged the ministers who were present on the dais to release Rs 20,000 crore for the Palamuru region in one year through the green channel so that pending projects could be completed and the region could be put on the path of prosperity. He said that Rs 1,83,000 crore spent on irrigation projects during the BRS government, among which Rs 1,00,002 crore was spent on Kalwakurthy Lift Irrigation Scheme (KLIS) alone. Revanth Reddy alleged that of the ₹11,000 crore farm loan waiver implemented by the BRS during its previous term, only ₹2,500 crore accounted for the principal amount, while ₹8,596 crore was merely deducted as interest on the loans. He argued that if the BRS government had waived ₹1 lakh per farmer in the first year of its tenure, it could have fully covered the principal amounts of all farmers’ loans. “In the first five years of the BRS rule, the loan waiver implemented was not even enough to cover the interest. Just before the end of its second term, they sold away the Outer Ring Road toll and tried to implement the loan waiver. That was also left undone,” he said. CM Revanth declared that implementing Rs 2 lakh farm loan waiver and providing free electricity to farmers was the patent of the Congress. The chief minister inspected around 150 stalls that were set up to educate farmers about the latest technologies and other information during the three-day farmers’ festival. He released cheques worth Rs 2,747.67 crore to waive off the loans of 3,13,897 farmers whose crop loans haven’t been waived yet, during the farmers’ festival. He also laid foundations and inaugurated various developmental works at a cost of Rs 1,143.53 crore on the occasion.Blackstone sees North America private equity exits doubling next year
