Google has introduced a new "Shop devices" tab within the Play Store, enabling customers to buy Samsung Galaxy smartphones and other devices directly from the Google Store. This marks a shift from previous methods, where Samsung devices were only available through selective offers via the Play Store's Play Points program.
The new portal lists a variety of devices, including the Galaxy S26, Galaxy S26 Ultra, Pixel 10a, Pixel Watch 4, Pixel 11 Pro Fold, Galaxy Z Flip 8, Google TV Streamer, Pixel 11, Galaxy Watch 9, and Pixel 11 Pro. This integration allows Google to offer a broader range of Android hardware through its primary retail channel.
Customers purchasing through the "Shop devices" tab will receive the same 10% Google One cashback benefit and can use Google Store credit for both Samsung and Pixel devices. Notably, Google has not yet raised the price of Samsung's Galaxy S26 series through this new portal, despite Samsung's official price increases elsewhere.
