According to the Samsung Galaxy A07 5G leak, smartphones as well as budget phones, will get more expensive this year. This counters previous rumours stating that flagship and mid-range smartphone prices will go up.
A new report from Abhishek Yadav shows that entry-level phones will also experience a price hike this year. This came after Xiaomi President, Lu Weibing, suggested that flagship phone prices would go up in 2026. Also, Nothing CEO, Carl Pei, supported the claim by stating the future of ultra-cheap or mid-range phones on the market in 2026.

The iPhone Air is the first iPhone sold as an eSIM-only version worldwide. Though a new report from China shows a modified Air with a physical SIM slot next to the USB-C port. This information was obtained by an electronics store in Shenzhen’s Huaqiangbei market.
