Samsung has revealed the Galaxy S26 lineup and the new Galaxy Buds 4 range at its Galaxy Unpacked event today (February 26, 2026), which also means pre-orders for these devices are now available.
TechRadar has been following the event through our live blog, covering all the announcements around the three new handsets and the new earbuds.
We reported last week that Samsung was handing out vouchers for signing up to the Unpacked event, which provided a AU$200 discount on bundled accessories to be paired with your S26 device during the first 72 hours of pre-orders on Samsung’s online store. We’ll go into more detail below.
Now that the pre-orders have started, Samsung has boosted the savings all the way up to a whopping AU$700, thanks to a slew of offers for those who pre-order within 72 hours after the launch – that’s from now until 5:00am AEDT on March 1.
Pre-order to get more storage for free, valued up to AU$450
The first of these new promotions for the Samsung Galaxy S26 range is a bonus storage upgrade valued at AU$300. This means you can get the 512 GB version of whichever S26 handset you’re eyeing for the same price as the base 256 GB version.
If you’re looking at the creme de la creme Galaxy S26 Ultra, with all the brand spanking new features, you can get an additional storage upgrade to the maximum of 1TB if you use our exclusive S26TECH code, which has a value of AU$150. That’s a combined AU$450 in savings for the 1TB version, and that’s just part of the overall discount.
Samsung has partnered with PayPal to add an extra AU$50 off across the Galaxy S26 range, saving even more on the handsets. This also applies to PayPal’s Pay in 4 service, which is great if you want to space out the purchase instead of spending the full amount in one go.
This discount applies to your entire cart, so keep reading below for more discounts.
Take AU$200 off when you bundle with accessories
As mentioned earlier, Samsung also gave out the GALAXYAI coupon code to anyone who registered to the Galaxy Unpacked page – it’s a AU$50 Eco-Voucher that can be applied towards accessories bundled with a Galaxy S26 handset purchased through the Samsung store until 11:59pm AEDT on March 20, 2026.
But here’s the kicker — the GALAXYAI voucher has been boosted to AU$200 in value when it is used within the 72 hours of preorders opening – specifically, that’s from 5am AEDT on February 26 to 5am AEDT on March 1.
Eligible accessories include the newly unveiled Galaxy Buds 4 and Buds 4 Pro, as well as selected other Galaxy Buds, Tablets, Watches, Ring and other accessories.
Make sure you place your purchase within that window to unlock the full discount — if you miss it, the Eco-Voucher reverts back to the AU$50, which will remain valid until March 10.
Better fitting and newly designed Galaxy Buds
Speaking of the Galaxy Buds 4 and Buds 4 Pro, these premium earbuds were also unveiled today, offering a better fit than previous iterations, and a new rounded and compact stem to update the design.
The open-ear Buds 4 costs AU$299, while the closed Buds 4 Pro is AU$399.
If you want to add a pair of the Galaxy Buds 4 Pro with any of the three handsets above, the GALAXYAI voucher above will take an extra AU$200 off your cart.
The 512GB Galaxy S26 and the Buds 4 Pro together costs AU$1,948. With the GALAXYAI voucher, that goes down to AU$1,748, and then you can get another AU$50 off with PayPal for a grand total of AU$1,698 combined.
If the Buds 4 Pro is bundled with the 1TB Galaxy S26 Ultra, you’ll be paying AU$2,898 if you use our S26TECH voucher. But with the GALAXYAI code and the AU$50 off with PayPal, your grand total will be AU$2,648.
