Samsung Galaxy S26 — top plans and deals in Australia

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.

Under the hood, the Galaxy S26 and S26 Plus run on Samsung's Exynos 2600 chipset, while the S26 Ultra runs on the new Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chip. All three handsets feature 120Hz displays with 12GB of RAM as standard. However, if you opt for the top-tier 1TB Galaxy S26 Ultra, the memory is boosted to 16GB of RAM.

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.
