Samsung Galaxy S26 pre-order deals in Australia — here’s how you can save hundreds on the new devices

Samsung has officially unveiled the Galaxy S26 range of smartphones at the brand’s Galaxy Unpacked event, with the lineup including, as expected, the Galaxy S26, S26 Plus and S26 Ultra.

The handsets deliver hardware updates, headlined by the new Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, and storage options now start at 256GB for all three models. The Galaxy S26 Ultra also introduces a world-first built-in Privacy Screen, where the display can be dimmed when viewed from the sides to conceal it from onlookers.

The launch also means that pre-orders for all three handsets start today, with offers from Samsung Australia, the major Aussie telcos and various retailers.

Also unveiled were the Galaxy Buds 4 and Buds 4 Pro, which have their own pre-order discounts, including offers for bundling with any of the Galaxy S26 handsets.

Whether you’re looking to buy a new Samsung handset outright (and then pair it with one of our best SIM-only plans), or you’re looking to pay it off through monthly installments through a telco, there’s a pre-order deal just for you.

Thanks to an exclusive code from TechRadar, buying direct from Samsung Australia’s online store is where you can get the 1TB/16GB RAM variant of the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra for AU$2,499, a saving of AU$450. Use the code S26TECH at checkout to get this exclusive offer.

But that’s not it — the savings can go up to a whopping AU$700 if you pair it with a selected accessory (including the Galaxy Buds 4 and Buds 4 Pro), along with more discounts detailed in this article.

Don’t worry, you’ll also get discounts on the base Galaxy S26 and the S26 Plus, where both will be upgraded to the 512GB variant automatically if you preorder before March 1, 2026. You’ll also get the same bundle discount above if you get the Buds 4 or Buds 4 Pro, or other selected accessories.

Amazon is matching the Samsung Store offer of upgraded storage from 256GB to 512GB. But the retailer takes it to a whole new level with an extra AU$300 in savings — if you are an Amazon Prime subscriber, at least. If you’re not, you can sign-up for a free trial.

Interestingly, Amazon is also listing the 256GB version for sale at the same promotional pre-order price as the 512GB, so make sure you select the latter to get the best deal.

The retailer is also offering an extra AU$300 off the handset price of the Galaxy S26 range if you trade in your old phone before March 10, as long as your trade in value is determined to be at least AU$1.
