Samsung is increasing production of its Galaxy S26 series as sales continue to rise. The company has reportedly raised its production plan for July by more than 50% to fulfill demand for its latest flagship smartphones. This could be the result of recent successful promotions and concerns about a price hike for next year’s Galaxy S27 series.

Samsung increases July Galaxy S26 production target by over 50%

According to a report from ETNews, Samsung recently asked component suppliers to boost July production of the Galaxy S26 series. The company wants to produce 1.5 million units, up from its previous target of 1 million units. It supplies these units to both the home (South Korean) and global markets.

The Galaxy S26 series recently saw solid sales momentum thanks to large-scale promotional events (from June 8 to July 5) in South Korea. Samsung allowed customers purchasing its products to receive a 20% refund in Digital Onnuri Gift Certificates. Sales through its official online store and open markets reportedly grew by about three times compared with the previous month.

Industry analysts also believe concerns about possible price increases for the upcoming Galaxy S27 series may have urged consumers to buy the Galaxy S26 earlier. In the coming months, rising memory chip prices (due to solid investment in AI servers and data centers) may greatly increase smartphone manufacturing costs.

As a result, Samsung may pass some of the cost burden to customers with the Galaxy S27 lineup. In other words, the next flagship series could debut at a higher price than its predecessor. This possibility may have created more demand for the Galaxy S26 series.

Previously, there were concerns that Samsung’s MX business could post a deficit due to rising memory costs. However, as Galaxy S26 sales continue to surge, that may not happen. Moreover, the launch of next-gen Galaxy foldable smartphones on July 22 could provide extra support.
