Found your Samsung Galaxy? Compare the total cost of your upgrade
Could a Samsung Galaxy cost less with a Singtel Phone Plan?
SIM Only can look cheaper at first, especially when you focus on the monthly fee. But the more meaningful comparison is total cost of ownership: what you pay for both your phone and your plan over time.
When you buy the phone separately, you may pay a higher handset price and miss device discounts or eligible port-in savings available with a Singtel Phone Plan.
That means a higher monthly plan fee does not always mean a higher overall cost.
With a Singtel UNLIMITED 5G+ Phone Plan, upfront phone savings and eligible port-in savings can help offset the difference, potentially resulting in a lower total spend over 24 months.
Do not just ask: "Which plan is cheaper each month?"
Ask: "Which option costs less overall?"
Choose the Singtel upgrade route that fits you
There is no single right way to buy a Galaxy. Start with what matters most to you: overall value, flexibility or keeping your current mobile setup.
Option
| Start here if you...
| What it gives you
|
|---|---|---|
| Singtel UNLIMITED 5G+ Phone Plan | are upgrading both your phone and mobile plan | Lower upfront device pricing on eligible plans, applicable device/port-in savings and UNLIMITED 5G+ phone plan benefits in one bundle. |
| SIM Only + PayLater | want more plan flexibility while spreading out your phone cost | No-contract SIM Only options, with selected phones available through Singtel PayLater and eligible plan cashback offers. |
| Phone only / PayLater | want the Galaxy but prefer to keep your current mobile arrangement | Selected Galaxy devices can be purchased without a new Phone Plan; eligible Singtel customers can also use PayLater on supported purchases. |
Upgrading both your phone and plan? Start by comparing a Singtel UNLIMITED 5G+ Phone Plan. The monthly subscription may be higher than SIM Only, but device discounts and eligible promotions can change the total amount you pay over 24 months.
Why upgrading with Singtel can be more seamless and valuable

2. Give your Galaxy a UNLIMITED 5G+ Phone Plan that keeps up
Singtel UNLIMITED 5G+ Phone Plans include unlimited local 5G+ data, with Enhanced and Priority tiers adding benefits such as faster network experiences, roaming, mobile security and customer care depending on the selected plan.
That means the phone and the network can work as one experience, whether you are streaming on the Fold8, uploading high-resolution content on the Fold8 Ultra or staying connected across the day on the S26.
3. More flexibility in how you pay and upgrade
Prefer not to pay for your Galaxy all at once? Eligible customers can use Singtel PayLater on selected devices and spread payments over available periods of up to 36 months at 0% interest.
