MUMBAI: The Samsung Galaxy S26 with 256GB storage is Rs 89,999 on Reliance Digital, which is Rs 13,000 less than the Rs 1,02,999 that Samsung's own India store charges for the same model. The Galaxy S26 FE with 256GB is Rs 72,999 at Reliance Digital, against Rs 79,999 on Samsung.com. Price as of 20 October 2026, 12:33 AM IST for Reliance Digital and 12:37 AM IST for Samsung.com.

Both phones carry a much higher MRP on the Reliance Digital listing: Rs 1,17,999 for the S26 and Rs 1,09,999 for the S26 FE. Samsung's store shows Rs 1,17,999 as the list price of the S26 256GB and Rs 1,09,999 for the S26 FE 256GB, so the two retailers start from the same reference figure and then sell at different prices.

Galaxy S26 price: Reliance Digital vs Samsung.com

Galaxy S26, 256GB, 12GB RAM: Rs 89,999 at Reliance Digital, Rs 1,02,999 on Samsung.com. The Reliance Digital listing is for the black colour, and describes the phone with a 4,300mAh battery and Samsung's Photo Assist and Creative Studio AI tools.

Galaxy S26, 512GB: Rs 1,22,999 on Samsung.com, down from a list price of Rs 1,37,999. We did not check a 512GB listing on Reliance Digital, so there is no retailer comparison for this version.

Galaxy S26+: Rs 1,34,999 on Samsung.com, against a list price of Rs 1,49,999. For buyers who want the bigger phone, this is the only official price we could verify tonight.

Galaxy S26 FE price: Reliance Digital vs Samsung.com

Galaxy S26 FE, 256GB: Rs 72,999 at Reliance Digital for the graphite colour, and Rs 79,999 on Samsung.com. That puts the FE Rs 17,000 below the S26 at Reliance Digital, and Rs 23,000 below the S26 on Samsung.com.

The gap matters if you were planning to buy the FE to save money. At Reliance Digital, the regular S26 now costs only Rs 17,000 more than the FE, so it is worth comparing the two in a store before deciding. When Samsung launched its Samsung Week sale earlier this month, the FE price on its own store was the same Rs 79,999.

In rupee terms, Reliance Digital sells the S26 Rs 28,000 below its MRP and the S26 FE Rs 37,000 below its MRP. On Samsung.com, the S26 is Rs 15,000 below the list price and the S26 FE is Rs 30,000 below it. The FE has the deeper cut at both stores, but the S26 has the bigger gap between the two stores, which is why the retailer price is the headline here.

Bank offers and what we did not verify

Reliance Digital loads bank and card offers separately from the listed price, so we have not counted any bank discount in the figures above. Samsung's store may show extra savings at checkout depending on the card, upgrade bonus or loyalty points you use, and these change often. The prices in this story are the selling prices shown on each product page, before any card offer.

Ask the store to confirm the exact model number on the box before billing. Samsung sells several storage and colour versions of each phone, and the price above applies only to the version named. Also check whether the retailer or Samsung handles returns, and keep the invoice for any warranty claim.

Which one makes sense

For most buyers who want a compact Samsung flagship this Diwali, the S26 at Rs 89,999 is the stronger deal tonight, since the saving over Samsung.com is larger than the saving on the FE. Prices at large retailers can change without notice, especially in the weeks before Diwali on 8 November, so check the live price before you go to the store or place an order.

Samsung's bigger phones are also cheaper at the same retailer. Read our report on the Galaxy S26 Ultra and Fold8 prices at Reliance Digital, the earlier Samsung Week offers on the S26 FE, and our check on the iPhone 18 Pro price at Reliance Digital.
