If you’ve been mulling picking up one of Samsung’s new Galaxy S26 handsets but missed out on the enticing pre-order specials, you’ve now been given a second chance at scoring one of the better deals. Samsung and a selection of Australian retailers have brought back the free storage upgrade offer for a limited time, representing a saving of AU$300 across all S26 handsets, including the Plus and Ultra models.
As with the pre-order specials, the 512GB variants of all models have had AU$300 shaved off their prices, meaning they now cost the same as the 256GB. There’s also a AU$300 discount on the 1TB S26 Ultra, which brings it down to AU$2,649 – the regular 512GB price.
In our Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra review, we called it “the best Android phone ever” thanks to its thinner and lighter chassis, brighter photos and the addition of the Privacy Display, a feature that dims the screen when viewed at an angle to prevent onlookers from snooping.
Another standout feature is the Super Steady Horizontal Lock, which locks the phone’s video to a smooth, horizontal plane, even if you turn the camera a full 360 degrees.
As for the S26 and S26 Plus, the most significant change was their pricing, with the former now starting at AU$1,549 and the larger sibling costing AU$1,849 (up from AU$1,399 and AU$1,699, respectively) although, to compensate, the storage options now start from 256GB instead of the 128GB of their S25 counterparts.
Which is why we think this double storage offer coming back makes the handsets more worthwhile with 512GB of storage instead of the base 256GB.
While there is some time for you to make your decision, take note that the AI-26SAVE coupon is valid until April 8, while the double storage offer will end on April 15.
