Samsung quietly increased Australian prices on Galaxy S26 handsets — but you can grab the base flagship for 32% off at Amazon for a limited time
Following Apple’s lead, Samsung has increased the prices of its flagship Galaxy S26 phones earlier this month, but retailers like Amazon haven’t followed suit yet — and there’s even a deal on the base S26.
Samsung has recently raised prices on its Galaxy S26 handsets in Australia, but a deal on Amazon offers a 32% discount on the base model, bringing the cost down to AU$1,127. This represents a significant saving compared to the manufacturer's current price of AU$1,649. The Galaxy S26 boasts a triple-camera setup, 12GB of RAM, and the Galaxy AI suite.
It also has an increased storage capacity, starting at 256GB and now up to 1TB, and a larger 6.3-inch display. While the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset found in the US version is not available locally, some reviewers argue that the difference is minimal. Although the device uses Samsung's own Exynos 2600 processor, which may result in a slower charging speed and the lack of full Qi2 wireless charging support, the discount makes this a tempting purchase.
