Google Store now sells Samsung Galaxy S26 phones — alongside Pixels, in a new ‘Shop devices’ tab inside the Play Store. The feature is live as of Tuesday, October 14, 2026, and marks the first time Samsung smartphones appear in a dedicated, browsable section of the Google Store interface. Not just as limited-time Play Points redemptions or pop-up offers. Buyers can select from Galaxy S26 and S26 Ultra models, check out directly through the Google Store, and apply Google Store credit or claim the standard 10% Google One cashback offer. Prices match Samsung’s official retail figures: $799 for the Galaxy S26 and $1,199 for the S26 Ultra in the US. Rs 79,999 and Rs 1,19,999 respectively in India. No markup. No exclusives. Just the same checkout flow used for Pixel phones and Watches. This isn’t a flash sale or a regional test, it’s a structural addition to the Play Store’s navigation, visible to users across the US and India, per 9to5Google’s reporting. It doesn’t replace Samsung’s own storefronts or carrier channels. It adds another path. One that puts Google’s hardware ecosystem and its biggest Android rival on equal footing in the same menu. The move signals more than convenience. It’s a quiet recalibration: Google no longer treats Samsung devices as third-party exceptions. They’re now inventory. And they’re available starting today.
