Special offers
Before we get to the device- and retailer-specific listings, there are a couple of special offers that you may want to know about that are available.
Samsung announced that the Samsung Galaxy S10, Samsung S10+ and Samsung S10e will be available through Amazon Australia, with a pre-order bonus pair of Galaxy Buds – click here to get the deal. Along with various contract retailers (Optus, Telstra, Woolworths Mobile and Vodafone) or from Samsung directly, if you pre-order your new Samsung Galaxy through Amazon from 9am on 21 February 2019 until midnight 7 March 2019 you will receive a free set of the new Samsung Galaxy Buds headphones.
There are also several other offers and special lease pricing deals available, which we’ve listed next to the pre-order links for each retailer.

Galaxy Fold
The Galaxy Fold has the potential to completely redefine the smartphone experience in the same way the iPad changed what we thought a tablet could be. As Samsung notes: “The internal screen does not merely bend. It folds. Folding is a more intuitive motion, and a more difficult innovation to deliver. Samsung invented a new polymer layer and created a display around 50 percent thinner than the typical smartphone display. The new material makes Galaxy Fold flexible and tough, built to last.”
Unlike the S10, the Galaxy Fold is not expected to hit stores until April 26. Pre-orders have not yet begun but you can register your interest with Samsung now to ensure you don’t miss out.
