If you’ve been putting off a phone upgrade, this might be your sign. The Samsung Galaxy A26 5G, already a solid budget-friendly pick from the brand’s A Series line-up, is now on sale for just $397 on Amazon Australia, marked down from its usual $499.

That’s a 20 per cent saving on a smartphone that packs a serious punch for the price.

The Galaxy A26 5G is made for those who want a premium feel without the premium price tag. It boasts a sleek, streamlined design in a versatile matte black and is built to handle everyday life with IP67 water and dust resistance.

But it’s what’s inside that really counts. The 6.7-inch Super AMOLED display is designed for those who live on their screens.

Whether you’re binge-watching shows, scrolling TikTok, or editing snaps, the edge-to-edge screen delivers vivid colour and clarity, all while being easy on the eyes.

Speaking of snaps, the A26’s camera setup punches above its weight.

On the back, you’ll find a 50 MP wide-angle lens that captures clear, high-quality shots, and a 13 MP front camera that’s selfie-ready at any moment.

But the real game-changer is what Samsung calls Awesome Intelligence, a fancy way of saying the built-in editing tools are seriously clever.

Thanks to features like Edit Suggestions and the Enhanced Object Eraser, you can quickly remove unwanted photobombers or distractions from your pics.

The phone uses AI to analyse your shots and offer helpful tips, which means less time editing and more time posting.

And let’s talk battery life. The Galaxy A26 5G is powered by a 5,000mAh battery, so it’s built to last through a full day of use, whether that’s video calls, Netflix, or endless doom scrolling.

It’s the kind of phone that can keep up with your life, without needing a midday recharge.

At under $400, it’s rare to find a phone with this much functionality.

Between the display, camera, intelligent features and all-day battery, the Galaxy A26 5G is a savvy pick for anyone who wants a reliable phone that does the job (and then some) without blowing the budget.

But don’t wait around. This Amazon deal is only available for a limited time, and if you’ve been eyeing a phone upgrade that won’t cost the earth, now’s your chance to snap one up.
