Samsung Galaxy S26 Price List in Australia

Each row shows the cheapest unit we hold for that model. Refurbished stock arrives in batches rather than on order, so the cards above carry the live figure for every individual phone and are the price to go by.

Samsung Galaxy S26 Price

The standard Galaxy S26 is the cheapest way into the current generation and the model most buyers end up with. It runs the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset, a 6.3-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X display at 120Hz, Galaxy AI on device, and IP68 water resistance, with seven years of Android updates that keep it supported into 2033.

At A$929 against A$1,549 new, you are paying roughly 60% of retail for a phone released this year, with the same chipset and the same update runway as the Ultra above it.

Samsung Galaxy S26 Plus Price

The Galaxy S26 Plus price starts at A$1,149, against A$1,799 new. It takes the S26 to a 6.7-inch display and a sharper one, QHD+ against the FHD+ panel on the standard model, with a bigger battery behind it.

The chipset, cameras and software are identical to the standard S26, so the Plus is worth the step up if you watch and read on the phone rather than shoot on it. If you do not, the money is better spent on storage or a higher grade.

Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra Price

The Galaxy S26 Ultra price starts at A$1,299, against A$2,199 new, which is the largest saving in the range at A$900.

The Ultra is a different proposition rather than a bigger one. It brings the S Pen, Samsung's most advanced camera system, titanium construction and the largest display in the series. It earns the premium if the phone is a working tool rather than a companion to one, and the gap to retail is wide enough that a refurbished Ultra costs less than a new standard S26.

Cheap Samsung Galaxy S26: What Moves the Price

Three things set what any individual unit costs, and only one of them affects how the phone works.

Condition grade

Grades describe appearance only, never function. Open Box units are unused phones in opened packaging. Like New shows no visible marks. Grade A has micro-scratches you have to hunt for. Grade B carries honest cosmetic wear at the deepest discount. Every grade passes the same 72-point diagnostic and carries the same warranty, so a cheap Samsung Galaxy S26 is the identical phone in a less perfect shell. Our refurbished phone grading guide shows what each level looks like in the hand.

Storage

Storage usually moves the price more than grade does. 256GB suits most people. Larger sizes are worth paying for if you shoot a lot of video or keep your photo library on the device rather than in the cloud.

Model

The ladder runs S26, then Plus, then Ultra. Grade and storage move the price within each model, so it is worth comparing a higher grade of one against a lower grade of the next before you settle on a model.

Samsung Galaxy S26 Price Compared to New Retail

Across the range, refurbished S26 pricing lands between A$620 and A$900 below what Samsung charges for the same phone new. That gap does not come from a sale event that ends on Sunday. It comes from how the stock is sourced: Open Box units and trade-ins, graded and tested, which is why the Galaxy S26 deals on this page refresh continuously rather than a few times a year.

Samsung Galaxy S26 or Galaxy S25: Which Is Better Value?

The S26 brings the newer chip and the longer update runway. The S25 is a generation back and costs meaningfully less, with the same testing, the same grading and the same warranty behind it. If your budget is the deciding factor rather than longevity, the Samsung Galaxy S25 price page is worth comparing against this one before you choose.
