With Black Friday looming, the ever-growing prospect of stocking up on gifts ahead of the holiday season can make for an overwhelming time of year. However, research has uncovered that sometimes an element of divine intervention could be a deciding factor in what ends up in our shopping carts.

Financial behaviour expert and astrology enthusiast, Emma Edwards said “This November, Black Friday falls in a Mercury retrograde, so your star sign could be influencing your shopping habits. As someone who’s used a horoscope as an excuse to treat myself, I get it. But don’t let the planets derail your budget – stick to your list, shop with a clear head, and set a ‘walk-away’ price before you buy.”

Aussies let astrology guide their carts

Each star sign carries its own approach to shopping, Scorpios (28%) and Aquarians (28%) are most likely to agree that astrology influences what they buy, making them the most astrology-driven shoppers[2].

Geminis are often on the more indecisive side, which makes them the most likely to be practical and plan ahead when shopping (49%). This is mirrored by Leos’ thought process, being the most likely to rely on sales to find them based on astrology and divine timing (19%).

When it comes to what is actually in their carts, Aquarians (50%) are eyeing new phones, Leos (38%) are ready to upgrade their TVs, and Cancers (23%) are keeping things spotless this Black Friday with a new vacuum[3].

Tech tops this year’s Black Friday must-have list

Black Friday marks a key moment in the shopping calendar, with 93% of Australians surveyed planning to browse or shop the sales this year, with nearly one in two (47%) prepared to spend up to five hours hunting for the perfect deal online or in store[4].

Technology will again take centre stage this year, with more than half of Australians (58%) saying Black Friday sales will inspire them to invest in home tech or devices that make life easier. New mobile phones are a top priority this year, with 42% of Australians picking a new smartphone over anything else, while 58% agree they will be in the market this November for home tech or devices that simplify their lives[5] .

Shopping styles also differ across the country. Shoppers in the Northern Territory (40%) are the most likely to buy on impulse, while Queenslanders (46%) take a practical approach by planning ahead. Meanwhile, NSW shoppers (30%) are most likely to go with the flow, letting deals guide their decisions[6].

Samsung kicks off its Black Friday with exclusive deals available on Samsung.com/au from today until 19 November, with additional Black Friday offers to be announced later in November.

Galaxy Tab S11 Series

The Galaxy Tab S11 series represents Samsung’s ultra-premium and advanced tablet experience yet, packed with the latest Galaxy AI features[2] and redesigned S Pen included in the box. Designed for professionals, creatives and anyone seeking a large-screen mobile device for productivity or entertainment, both the Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra and Galaxy Tab S11 combine next-generation performance with a sleek design. Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra is the thinnest Galaxy Tab ever, while also boasting a large 14.6-inch display, vibrant colours, and smoother visuals, making it just as suited for watching films as it is for sketching, note-taking or editing video.

The Galaxy Tab S11 series combines Dynamic AMOLED 2X displays with ultra-thin bezels and peak brightness up to 1,600 nits[3], ensuring visuals are immersive whether you’re editing video, sketching, gaming or watching your favourite show, indoors or outside. The 3nm processor speed and responsiveness is incredible, while the redesigned next gen S Pen[4] brings more precision and comfort to note-taking and drawing for next level creativity. Galaxy AI[5] is at the heart of the experience, enhanced by One UI 8[6], understanding what users type, say and see, and offering a more seamless, multimodal AI experience with tools that assist in real time. For added productivity, the upgraded Samsung DeX[7] introduces Extended Mode, transforming the tablet into a full workstation with compatible dual external monitors and up to four customised workspaces for different needs, offering greater multitasking and flexibility.

Galaxy Tab S11 Series starts from $1,399, available in Grey.

Galaxy S25 FE

The Galaxy S25 FE is designed as the perfect entry point into Samsung’s premium smartphone experience. Positioned as the “gateway to Galaxy AI,”[8] the Galaxy S25 FE delivers the fan favourite features that Australians expect from a flagship device, but at a more accessible price.

Galaxy S25 FE’s Armor Aluminium frame design and a vibrant 120Hz Dynamic AMOLED 2X display offers smooth stunning visuals. It comes with the latest advanced Galaxy AI experience that simplifies everyday tasks with multimodal AI and tools like Photo Assist  that enhance effortless  editing – whether that’s Instant Slow-mo[9] to slow down important moments or Generative Edit[10] which taps into cloud-based AI for more process-intensive editing to fine-tune your photos. The camera system combines an upgraded 12MP front camera[11] with Samsung’s AI ProVisual Engine to capture crisp shots day or night.

The Galaxy S25 FE is for anyone who wants a smart phone to simplify their day: creators who edit on the go, professionals who need productivity tools in their pocket, and everyday users who simply want a reliable, stylish device. The Galaxy S25 FE delivers incredible performance to enhance productivity, with a 4,900mAh all-day battery and a larger vapour chamber for every day usage , while 45W fast charging keeps users going with less downtime.[12]

Galaxy Buds3 FE

The Galaxy Buds3 FE bring Samsung’s iconic audio design to a wider audience, offering the features people love about premium earbuds in a more accessible package. Styled with the bold Blade design, and intuitive controls, they’re lightweight, comfortable, and built to stand out.

These earbuds are designed for everyday listeners — commuters, gym-goers, and busy multitaskers — who want high-quality sound without compromise. With enhanced bass and clear treble[14], Active Noise Cancellation[15], and machine-learning powered call clarity, Galaxy Buds3 FE make music immersive and conversations effortless, even in noisy environments. By integrating Galaxy AI, Buds3 FE goes beyond sound. When prompted, Galaxy Buds3 FE can listen, understand and respond, offering a conversational experience. Users can enjoy hands-free controls and even real-time translation[16] when paired with a compatible Galaxy smartphone — features that make technology feel more intuitive and connected.

Galaxy Buds3 FE will be available in Australia for $249 in Black and Grey.

Galaxy Tab S10 Lite

The Galaxy Tab S10 Lite is built for those who want the flexibility of a tablet without the premium price tag. It combines the essentials of the Galaxy tablet experience into a lightweight, value-packed portable device that’s just as useful for studying as it is for streaming or sketching.

With its 10.9-inch bright display[17] enhanced by Vision Booster, Galaxy Tab S10 Lite adapts to virtually any environment — whether it’s a lecture theatre, a café, or the living room. The in-box S Pen means note-taking, doodling, and multitasking come naturally, while the large 8,000mAh battery[18] and super-fast charging[19] keeps up with long days of school, work or entertainment. Galaxy Tab S10 Lite opens the door to Galaxy’s creative ecosystem at an accessible price point, offering bundled access to apps like Goodnotes[20], Clip Studio Paint[21], LumaFusion[22], and Notion[23]. It’s the perfect fit for students, first-time tablet buyers, or families looking for a versatile device that balances productivity and play.

Available in Australia from $599, with colour options including Grey and Samsung.com exclusive colours, Silver and Coralred.

Galaxy A17

The Galaxy A17 is the newest addition to Samsung’s A Series range, built to give more Australians access to Awesome Intelligence and incredible performance at an accessible price. It’s a lighter[24], thinner[25]smartphone with a 6.7-inch Super AMOLED display, smooth 90Hz refresh rate, and long-lasting battery that makes it great for streaming, gaming, and staying connected throughout the day. Galaxy A series users can seamlessly access to Gemini Live[26], Google’s AI-powered assistant, activated by simply pressing and holding the side button. This integration makes it easier than ever to complete everyday tasks — all with a single button.

Galaxy A17 is designed for people who want a stylish, future-ready device with an affordable price tag — from students looking for a dependable phone for study and entertainment, to young professionals capturing their day-to-day lives. With a 5MP Ultrawide, 50MP Wide, and 2MP triple camera system and enhanced image stabilisation, it’s made for everyday creators who don’t want to miss a moment, even in low light. The Galaxy A17 brings AI experiences — like Circle to Search[27] with Google and Gemini Live[28] voice controls — to a wider audience, giving users smarter ways to interact with their device. Coupled with up to six years of security updates, Knox Vault protection, and IP54 rating,[29] Galaxy A17 proves that essential innovation doesn’t need to come at a flagship price.

Galaxy A17 5G is available in Australia in Black from $349.

Galaxy A17 will be coming to Australia 10 October. Available in Black, Galaxy A17 will be available from $299.

• Advanced AI and redesigned S Pen: One UI 8 enables more natural and intuitive interactions[1], while a redesigned S Pen offers improved comfort and control for both writing and drawing, enabling users to experience next level creativity and productivity.
• Smarter multitasking with Samsung DeX[2]: New Extended Mode transforms your Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra and compatible external monitor into a true dual- screen setup, while users can create up to four customisable workspaces for different needs.
• Slim and powerful: With a 3nm processor and Samsung’s thinnest tablet design yet, Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra delivers fast, smooth performance in a portable form.

Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. today announced the Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra and Galaxy Tab S11, delivering its most intelligent and advanced tablet experience yet. Powered by the latest Galaxy AI[3], now enhanced by One UI 8[4] and new multimodal capabilities, Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra is the thinnest Galaxy Tab to date, going beyond a slim form factor to show what a premium tablet can be. Together, the series is built for effortless productivity on the go, combining pro-grade hardware with experiences optimised for a large screen.

With upgraded Samsung DeX and a redesigned S Pen, the Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra supports focused multitasking and seamless workflows, while also enabling creative expression in a sleek, portable form. Whether capturing ideas in a meeting, summarising lecture notes or sketching out visual concepts, the Galaxy Tab S11 series empowers users to handle more with less friction, wherever they are.

“The Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra combines AI innovation with refined hardware to deliver a true multitasking experience that reflects Samsung’s deep experience in mobile productivity,” said Jay Kim, Executive Vice President and Head of Customer Experience Office, Mobile eXperience Business at Samsung Electronics. “With the latest Galaxy AI and new multimodal capabilities, these flagship tablets enable ultimate efficiency – empowering users to work, create and flow more naturally across a versatile, large screen.”

Powering Everyday Tasks with Advanced AI

With One UI 8, the Galaxy Tab S11 series brings multimodal AI to the forefront – understanding what users type, say and see, and responding in real time with helpful suggestions, these tools unlock a more fluid way to work, create and stay in flow across any task.

• Gemini Live[5] enables real-time screen sharing and visual input, so users can have a natural conversation with Gemini about what they’re looking at. Whether it’s on-screen content or an object that someone wants to show by pointing the camera at it – Gemini Live can handle contextual questions and requests by seeing what the user sees. For instance, a user in a class can easily screen share their notes, then ask Gemini to interpret a chart or explain the study material and summarise its insights.
• By pressing and holding the side button, users can activate Gemini and carry out commands across apps with a single command. For instance, when there’s no time to read a lengthy article, users can share the link with Gemini and say, “Summarise this article and save it to Samsung Notes,” making it easier to catch up later. It simplifies complex actions so users can stay in their flow.

The Galaxy Tab S11 series is packed with additional tools for effortless productivity and creativity – including the full suite of Galaxy AI[6] features, optimised for the large screen.

• Users can turn rough sketches into clean visuals with Drawing Assist[7], then even drag and drop[8] images they’ve created into Samsung Notes as a starting point for further ideation – perfect for brainstorming, visual planning or creative exploration.
• Writing Assist[9] helps rework tone and style, so users can easily refine a piece of writing to ensure it matches their intended meaning before dropping it into an email, document or other apps.
• While multitasking, users can keep Galaxy AI close at hand as a moveable and compact overlay, presented in a floating view,[10] allowing them to summarise the content on their screen without breaking focus.
• Circle to Search[11] with Google is now even more helpful for getting context and diving deeper into anything users see on their device’s screen. Users are able to translate text in real-time as they scroll and interact. From news articles to social media posts, users will see instant, on-screen translations of the underlying text in their preferred language.
• The Galaxy Tab S11 series comes with the newly redesigned S Pen[12] that’s built for both focused work and creative expression. Its new cone-shaped pen tip supports increased tilt angles for better control, while a hexagonal design provides a more natural, ergonomic feel that’s comfortable and stable in the hand. Quick Tools[13] make it easy to adjust on the fly while drawing or editing with floating access, while Sticky Note lets users capture sudden thoughts or to-dos directly over Samsung Notes – no more app switching required during document review.

Full-Scale Productivity

In addition to Galaxy AI, the enhanced Samsung DeX[14] on the Galaxy Tab S11 series empowers users to maximise their productivity when multitasking across apps, taking notes during meetings or simply mapping out ideas. Whether you’re a designer building out visual concepts or a frequent traveller planning a trip across apps and displays, the Galaxy Tab S11 series features support every step, from researching and sketching to sharing polished results.

The latest Samsung DeX upgrades unlock next-level productivity, starting with Extended Mode, which transforms Galaxy Tab S11 and a compatible external monitor into a seamless dual-screen setup. It runs Samsung DeX across both screens simultaneously for more intuitive multitasking and greater flexibility– now users can drag and drop apps between connected displays or reference a document on one screen while presenting on the other. Also new to Samsung DeX, users can now create up to four separate, customised workspaces for different needs. For example, one workspace can be dedicated for work, another to creative projects and a third to planning a trip.

With the upgraded Samsung DeX, users can set up a full working environment from virtually anywhere – whether it’s connecting to a compatible meeting room TV for a presentation or adding final touches to a work document at the airport lounge just before starting a vacation. Combined with Book Cover Keyboard Slim[15], the Galaxy Tab S11 series easily transforms into a personalised, mobile workstation with instant access to AI assistants through the dedicated Galaxy AI Key[16].

Made to Perform, Built to Move

The Galaxy Tab S11 series delivers its most advanced performance yet, equipped with cutting-edge hardware and immersive visuals in a slim, highly portable design. Samsung brings its enhanced 3nm processor to Galaxy Tab for the first time in the S11 series, offering faster processing, smoother multitasking and more responsive AI features. Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra boasts performance improvements in NPU,CPU and GPU[17]. Additionally, a powerful battery[18] and efficient thermal management ensure reliable, long-lasting use for work, creativity and everything in between.

Performance matched by purposeful design reflects Samsung’s hardware innovation – delivering ultra-thin and light, yet powerful devices ready for everyday versatility. The Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra features a remarkably slim build at just 5.1 mm[19], with narrow 5.2 mm bezels[20] that expand screen space without compromising portability. Across both models, Dynamic AMOLED 2X displays deliver up to 1600 nits of peak brightness[21], ensuring clear, vivid visuals indoors or out, so users can stay focused wherever they work.

Tools That Fit the Way Users Work

The Galaxy Tab S11 series makes it easy to get started with work or creative projects with extensive third-party apps[22]. There is easy access to Goodnotes, Clip Studio Paint, LumaFusion and Notion – supporting everything from sketching and note-taking to flexible project planning. Galaxy users also enjoy exclusive benefits, with special offers that make it easier to explore these premium tools, work smarter and unlock their creative potential. Goodnotes[23] offers a 1-year free version, Clip Studio Paint[24] comes with a 6-month free trial with 20% off your first subscription and users can get 66% off LumaFusion[25] along with a one-month free Creator Pass.

In addition to these apps, users can explore a broader range of options that support different needs. Noteshelf 3[27] offers customisable layouts for capturing and organising ideas. ArcSite[28] empowers users with precision tools to turn creative sketches into CAD layouts. Sketchbook provides an intuitive space for illustration and concept art and Picsart[29] enables creators to bring their imagination to life through its own AI-driven design tools. Whether users are working on creative portfolios or need to boost productivity, these tools are designed to simplify everyday tasks and streamline workflows.
