About this page
This page discusses why smartphone prices have significantly increased in Japan. The article attributes the price hikes to semiconductor shortages, growing demand for AI chips, and yen depreciation. It provides concrete examples comparing Samsung's Galaxy S26 Ultra with the previous year's S25 Ultra model, showing price increases of 20,000 to 40,000 yen. The rising costs of memory components directly impact smartphone pricing, with larger storage models experiencing greater increases.
