Walmart offers deep discounts on Samsung Galaxy S26 as global price hikes hit budget and flagship lines

Samsung has raised prices for its Galaxy S26 flagship series and Galaxy A budget lineup in the US, driven by a global memory shortage. While the S26 Ultra now costs $1,400, Walmart is selling it for under $1,000. The Galaxy A17 5G has increased by $70 since launch, and Google’s Pixel 10a is now $100 more expensive. Analysts suggest these hikes may persist until 2030 due to ongoing RAM supply issues.

Nvidia hikes 2019-era Shield TV Pro price to $300, kills base model

Nvidia has raised the price of its Shield TV Pro streaming box from $199.99 to $299.99, effective October 2, 2026. The company simultaneously discontinued the standard Shield TV model, leaving the Pro as the only unit in production. Nvidia attributes the 50% price increase to industry-wide spikes in memory and component costs, despite the device retaining its original 2019 hardware specifications. The Pro model remains out of stock on Nvidia’s website but is available at retailers like Best Buy.

Galaxy S27 Leaks Signal Steep Price Hikes Across All Models

Leaks indicate the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S27 series will face significant price increases across all models, with higher-storage variants seeing steeper jumps. While the S26 lineup recently absorbed a $100 hike, the S27 is expected to cost $74 to $96 more than its predecessor in South Korea, potentially pushing the 1TB Ultra model near $2,000. These increases are attributed to the ongoing global memory chip shortage driven by AI demand, though some analysts suggest only the Ultra model may see a major hike.

RAM Crunch Dents PC Sales Growth as Global Shipments Slide in Q2 2026

Global PC shipments fell 4% year-over-year to about 65 million in Q2 2026, ending a growth streak dating to early 2025, as elevated DRAM/NAND prices driven by AI data-center demand squeeze margins; Counterpoint Research and IDC foresee further declines for 2026 (about 11.3% full-year drop, with Q4 down as much as 20%). ASUS was the sole major brand to grow (+4%), while Lenovo, Dell, and HP dropped up to 9% and Apple’s MacBook shipments rose 13% on the strength of the budget MacBook Neo. Analysts say the RAM shortage is pushing the market toward premium AI PCs and relief isn’t expected before 2027, prompting some buyers with aging PCs to upgrade sooner.
