Buy a budget Samsung Galaxy A26 or A36 phone, get bonus discounts

By John Alexander Published March 27, 2025

We’re in the midst of a big boom for budget phones. The Google Pixel 9a, which seems to be facing some delays, is nonetheless coming out soon. Not long ago, the iPhone 16e arrived. If you want one of the best budget phones, now is a great time to buy. But what if you want more than just a phone? What if you want a full tech package? That’s what we’re seeing when you order a budget Samsung A-series phone — either the Samsung Galaxy A26 or Samsung Galaxy A36. You can get the phone ($300 and $400, respectively), get trade-in credits that can cover as much as half of the phone’s cost, and save up to 60% on a pair of Samsung earbuds or a Samsung smartwatch. Tap the button below to check it all out yourself or keep reading for a more detailed analysis.

First, pick your phone.

The Galaxy A36 retails at $400 and the A26 retails at $300. As you can expect, this makes the A36 slightly better. In fact, the A26 has a 13MP selfie cam while the A36 “only” has a 12MP selfie cam. However, the A36 is going to have a much longer battery life, more powerful Snapdragon chip, and some more advanced AI features included. The phones are pretty close, though, so if you want something truly budget, there’s no shame in going after the A26.

Next, grab a trade-in.

Both phones allow you to save up to $150 with trade-in credits. Make sure you have a phone or tablet that turns on, is factory reset, and holds charge, and isn’t on a banned list and you’ll probably be able to trade it in. There’s even an option for cracked (damaged, not hacked) goods. An Apple iPad 9th gen, for example, will save you $84. That would bring the phones down to $216 (A26) and $316 (A36) for even more affordability. If you were to max out your trade-ins you could get those numbers down to $150 and $250, respectively.

Finally, get your supplementary offer.

Keep scrolling past the trade-in and extended care packages to see where the real fun begins. There are three great offers you can take advantage of with this deal:

Put altogether, you could get a Samsung Galaxy A26 ($300), trade your 9th gen iPad in (-$86), and grab a Galaxy Fit3 (+$30) fitness tracker all for just $244. Or, make another combination. It’s your choice! All you need to do is tap the button below to get started.
