Samsung is redefining how mobile and earbud experiences fit into daily life with a new generation of devices built around simplicity and ease.
SYDNEY, March 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Samsung Electronics Australia today announced its highly anticipated Galaxy S26 series and Galaxy Buds4 series are now widely available for sale in Australia.
The Galaxy S26 Ultra, Galaxy S26+, and Galaxy S26 bring together exciting new hardware innovations and smart, intuitive features to deliver Samsung's most effortless smartphone experience yet. Featuring Galaxy's industry-leading camera system with improved Nightography[1] and SuperSteady[2] capabilities and Galaxy's first dynamic Privacy Display[3], Galaxy S26 Ultra gives Australians greater control and peace of mind over their personal information. Galaxy AI[4] offers intuitive and adaptive experiences with Galaxy S26 series, operating quietly behind the scenes, anticipating needs and offering timely prompts or action with Now Nudge[5].
"The Samsung Galaxy S26 series marks a new benchmark in how Australians use and interact with their smartphones in their everyday lives," said Nathan Rigger, Head of Product, Mobile eXperience at Samsung Electronics Australia. "With our first Privacy Display, Australians have greater control than ever of what they do and don't share, and Galaxy AI helps make complex tasks simple for everyone – not just tech enthusiasts."
The Galaxy Buds4 and Galaxy Buds4 Pro combine ease of use with superior hi-fi sound, clear call audio and a premium comfort feel, recognising that high quality sound experiences do not need to come at the expense of everyday wearability. The Galaxy Buds4 series are designed to be worn all day, whether you're travelling, working, exercising or listening to music or audio.
Hands-free voice activation encourages Galaxy users to engage AI agents and give them full control over their surroundings. The Buds4 series uses upgraded adaptive noise cancelling (ANC)[6] and Adaptive Equalizer (EQ), reducing low-frequency noise, perfect for users trying to relax during travel. Galaxy Buds4 Pro also include Head Gesture[7] controls which allow you to answer or reject a call by nodding or sharking your head.
"Users are getting our best-ever sound yet with the Samsung Galaxy Buds4 series," said Kylie Mason, Head of Wearables, Mobile eXperience at Samsung Electronics Australia "They offer super clear, high-quality and full-spectrum audio without compromising premium comfort for Australians to use wherever their lives take them."
Samsung has also launched the New Galaxy Club in Australia – an upgrade and protection program. Offering up to 50% of an eligible device's recommended retail price back when customers move to an eligible next-generation Galaxy phone between 9 to 13 months after signing up. The program also includes Samsung Care+ for repairs and support, and it's available with the Galaxy S26 series via Samsung.com/au on a monthly or one-year upfront plan.[8]
