If you’ve been thinking about buying a new smartphone or tablet, you might want to make that decision sooner rather than later.

According to information shared by tipster Abhishek Yadav, Samsung tablet prices are confirmed to increase from March 1, 2026. He also claims that multiple smartphone brands are preparing price hikes starting tomorrow due to rising component costs.

While not every brand has officially announced new pricing, industry-wide adjustments appear to be underway.

Samsung Tablets Confirmed For Price Increase

Samsung tablets are specifically mentioned as confirmed for a price revision from March 1. The exact models and revised pricing haven’t been detailed yet, but buyers planning a Samsung tablet purchase may see higher prices going forward.

Vivo and iQOO Smartphones Also Getting Costlier

Separately, Vivo and iQOO smartphones are also set to see price hikes from March 1 in India.

Here’s a breakdown of the models expected to be affected:

iQOO Z10 And Vivo T4 5G

Both models currently start at ₹22,999. They are likely to see a ₹2,000 increase, pushing the starting price to ₹24,999.

Higher variants are also expected to go up by ₹2,000:

• iQOO Z10 (8GB/256GB): ₹24,999 → ₹26,999
• iQOO Z10 (12GB/256GB): ₹26,999 → ₹28,999

More Brands May Follow

The tip also mentions that other brands such as OnePlus, Realme, and additional models could see price hikes soon. The broader reason cited is rising component costs, particularly linked to memory supply issues.

We’ve already seen smartphone prices gradually inch up across segments in recent months. With fresh revisions kicking in on March 1, delaying a purchase could mean paying an extra ₹1,000 to ₹3,000, depending on the model.

If you were already planning to buy one of the affected devices, today may be the last day to grab it at current pricing.
