Samsung’s Galaxy S26 series has officially released in Australia, and while you can no longer take advantage of any pre-order bonuses, we’re here to help you get the best deal possible, whether you’re buying one of the devices outright or on a plan.
The Galaxy S26 range starts at AU$1,549 for the 6.3‑inch base model with 256GB of storage. If you prefer something larger, the 6.7‑inch S26 Plus and 6.9‑inch S26 Ultra with the same storage tier start at AU$1,849 and AU$2,199, respectively.
The new devices also boast improved Galaxy AI features, a new Horizontal Lock feature for video recording, 60W fast wired charging and 25W wireless charging. The Galaxy S26 Ultra also gets the game-changing Privacy Display mode, which prevents onlookers from viewing your screen at an angle.
While pre-order offers from Australia’s leading retailers and carriers have dried up, we’ve taken the liberty of rounding up the top plans and deals that are available post-release to help you get the most bang for your buck.
Whether you’re looking to purchase a Galaxy S26 device outright or nab the phone on a plan over 12, 24 or 36 months from Australia’s major telcos, here are the best Samsung Galaxy S26 plans and deals available right now.

Samsung Galaxy S26: best deals
Now that the Samsung Galaxy S26 range has been released, it’s too late to take advantage of any free storage upgrade deals that were around during the pre-order period.
That said, some carriers are still offering great deals on Galaxy S26 devices. With eligible Optus plans, you can save AU$700 over 24 or 36 months and score a bonus Galaxy Watch 8 (40mm) when you sign up for a watch plan of the same length of time. Alternatively, Vodafone is offering AU$400 off the Galaxy S26 or S26 Plus over 24 or 36 months, or AU$700 off if you go for the S26 Ultra.
