Samsung Galaxy M36 and F36 Rise Rs 1,000 as S26 Series Gets Up to Rs 9,000 Cut

Samsung moves prices in two directions

Samsung Galaxy M36 and S26 price changes Rs 1,000 across several Galaxy M and F series models in India from May 1, while discounts of up to Rs 9,000 are now available on the Galaxy S26 series and select A-series phones. The lower prices on the newer lineup are reportedly valid until May 27.

The price hike covers older Galaxy M and F phones, including the Galaxy M36 5G and Galaxy F36 5G. At the same time, the Galaxy S26, Galaxy S26 Ultra, Galaxy A37 and Galaxy A57 have received limited-time cuts on Samsung’s website and on retailers including Amazon and Croma, according to the information provided.

Galaxy M and F series see Rs 1,000 increase per variant

Samsung has increased prices by Rs 1,000 per variant across multiple models in the Galaxy M and Galaxy F lineups. The changes took effect on May 1 and apply to current retail prices.

The affected phones listed in the input include the Galaxy M36 5G, Galaxy F36 5G, Galaxy M17 5G, Galaxy M17e, Galaxy F70e 5G, Galaxy M06 5G and Galaxy F06 5G. The price table in the source shows that each of these models has moved higher than before.

• Galaxy M36 5G: launch price Rs 16,499, new price Rs 21,999, total increase Rs 5,500
• Galaxy F36 5G: launch price Rs 16,499, new price Rs 21,999, total increase Rs 5,500

The Galaxy M36 and Galaxy F36 stand out in the list because both started at Rs 16,499, including a Rs 1,000 bank discount, and now begin at Rs 21,999. That works out to a Rs 5,500 increase from launch, according to the numbers supplied.

For the Galaxy M06 and Galaxy F06, the new pricing pushes both models beyond the Rs 12,000 mark. The input notes that budget 5G phones have been moving up in price across the market, with similar changes also seen from Realme and OnePlus this week.

Galaxy S26 series and A series get limited-time discounts

On the other side of the portfolio, Samsung has listed discounts on the Galaxy S26 series, Galaxy A37 and Galaxy A57. The source says tipster Abhishek Yadav shared the pricing list and that the cuts were verified on Samsung’s website, Amazon, Croma and other retailers.

The discounts are reportedly limited to May 27. The list includes the latest flagship and upper mid-range models, which makes the offer part of the same week’s price changes rather than a separate clearance move.

• Galaxy S26 12/256GB: Rs 8,000 off, price after discount Rs 79,999
• Galaxy S26 12/512GB: Rs 8,000 off, price after discount Rs 99,999

• Galaxy S26 Ultra 12/512GB: Rs 9,000 off, price after discount Rs 1,50,999
• Galaxy S26 Ultra 16/1TB: Rs 9,000 off, price after discount Rs 1,80,999, currently out of stock
• Galaxy A37 8/128GB: Rs 5,000 off, price after discount Rs 36,999
• Galaxy A37 8/256GB: Rs 5,000 off, price after discount Rs 42,499

• Galaxy A57 12/256GB: Rs 7,000 off, price after discount Rs 55,499

According to the source, the Galaxy S26 at Rs 79,999 and the Galaxy S26 Ultra at Rs 1,30,999 are now available at lower prices than at launch. The discounts are said to apply to Samsung’s most recent flagship releases, not older models being cleared out.

The Galaxy A37 and Galaxy A57 are also part of the same price cut window. The source lists three storage variants for the A37 and two for the A57, each carrying a discount through the same limited period.

Samsung’s price changes this week are split across its lineup. Older Galaxy M and F phones have gone up in price from May 1, while newer flagship and upper mid-range models have been cut for a short window that reportedly ends on May 27.
