Why Phones Are Getting Costlier In 2026

Redmi isn't alone in this. Pretty much every brand selling phones in India is either raising prices or quietly tweaking specs to manage costs. The root of it is a global RAM shortage and surging demand from AI data centres, which has pushed memory prices up sharply.

Memory makers are prioritising high-margin HBM and server-grade DRAM for AI hyperscalers, which leaves smartphone-grade LPDDR5 and NAND in short supply.

Should You Still Buy It?

If you're shopping online, Flipkart, Amazon, and mi.com sometimes take a day or two to reflect offline price changes. Bank offers and ongoing sale discounts could ease the bump, too. Worth checking before you tap buy.
