Summary
$20-to-$70 increases hit Samsung's Galaxy A57, A37, A27 and A17 in the US, with the A57 256GB rising to $679 and the A17 to $269.
Skyrocketing component costs tied to the AI-driven 'RAMageddon' memory squeeze are pushing up manufacturing expenses, extending Samsung's latest US price increases beyond its flagship line.
The A17 has now taken its second major hike since launching at $199 in January, leaving the entry-level model more than 35% above its debut price.
Those moves follow Samsung's $100 US increase for the Galaxy S26 series a day earlier, underscoring how memory inflation is spreading across its smartphone lineup.
