The Samsung Galaxy S26 FE is already 50% off

If you know where to look, you can already find Samsung’s latest premium device at a heavily discounted price.

Those who pair the Galaxy S26 FE with one of Telstra’s mobile plans can currently save $500 on the final cost. This discount is applied to the price of your monthly plan repayment over the course of your plan, though. That means that if you leave before fully paying off the device, you’ll forfeit any remaining savings. This deal expires on October 5.

Optus’ discount is slightly more generous, knocking a total of $600 off the usual RRP of the Galaxy S26 FE.

As with Telstra’s offer, though, these savings are spread out over the course of either a 36-, 24-, or 12-month contract. You do have a little longer to consider it though, since this deal expires on October 6.

Last but not least, there’s Vodafone.

From this week through to October 12, this provider is knocking $572.88 off the RRP of the 128GB version of the Galaxy S26 FE and $648.72 off the price of its 256GB counterpart.

While this discount is applied over the life of the plan as per usual, it is notable that the savings it offers are better the more storage you buy. As mentioned above, this deal expires on October 12.
