Where Is the Cheapest Place to Buy Electronics in Singapore in 2026?
Where to buy electronics for less in Singapore in 2026: Apple Store Online, Samsung's Singapore online store, LazMall on Lazada and Shopee Mall, what each one is good for, how to compare the same device across shops, and why going through ShopBack Singapore before you pay lowers the price you end up paying.
In Singapore, the cheapest place to buy electronics is usually whichever of the brand's own online store (such as Apple Store Online or Samsung), LazMall on Lazada or Shopee Mall has the lowest price after ShopBack for the exact model you want. No single shop wins for every device, so compare two or three, then go through ShopBack and pay.

Where is the cheapest place to buy electronics in Singapore?
For most phones, laptops, tablets and TVs in Singapore, the cheapest place is decided by three things: the store's own price on the day, the store's own vouchers or trade-in, and what comes back through ShopBack. That means the answer changes from device to device. Here is how to find it for yours:
- Start with the brand's own store. Apple Store Online and Samsung's Singapore online store set the reference price and list every model and configuration.
- Check the official brand stores on the marketplaces. LazMall on Lazada and Shopee Mall host official brand stores, and both marketplaces run their own vouchers and sale days.
- Compare like for like. Same model, same storage, same colour, same warranty, from an official or authorised seller.
- Go through ShopBack before you pay. Open the store's page on ShopBack Singapore, tap through and finish the order in the same session.
- Compare the price after ShopBack. The shop with the lowest effective price is the cheapest place to buy, even if its sticker price was not the lowest.

Apple Store Online in Singapore
Apple Store Online is the reference point for Apple prices in Singapore, and its delivery and returns are simple. According to Apple's Singapore site:
- Delivery. Delivery is free for all orders, and prices shown include GST.
- Pickup. You can choose to collect your order at an Apple Store instead of having it delivered.
- Returns. For eligible products, you have up to 14 calendar days from the time you receive them to start a return. iPhone and iPad returns have their own section in Apple's policy, so read it before you open the box.
Apple Store Online is on ShopBack Singapore, so open the Apple Store Online page on ShopBack before you pay.
Samsung's online store in Singapore
Samsung's Singapore online store sells the full Galaxy and home range and has its own ways to bring the price down. Its site lists:
- Samsung Trade-in, which lets you trade in an eligible phone or tablet when you choose a new device.
- Education Store, Samsung's store for eligible students and educators.
- Samsung Care+, its device protection plan.
- Samsung Rewards and member benefits for shoppers with a Samsung Account.
Samsung is on ShopBack Singapore, so start from the Samsung page on ShopBack before you check out.
LazMall on Lazada
LazMall is the official-store section of Lazada Singapore, and it suits shoppers who want marketplace vouchers without giving up an official seller. Lazada says LazMall products are 100% authentic and can be returned for free within 15 days of receiving them. Check that the store name says official or authorised before you add a device to your cart. Go through the Lazada page on ShopBack first.
Shopee Mall
Shopee Mall is where brands run their official stores on Shopee, so it is the part of Shopee to use for phones, laptops and other electronics. Filter for Shopee Mall sellers when you search, compare the same model with the brand's own store, and go through the Shopee page on ShopBack before you pay.
Electronics shop Singapore: best deals in 2026
The best electronics deals in Singapore usually come from combining a store's own offer with the right timing, then going through ShopBack before you pay. Things worth checking:
- Store vouchers. Lazada and Shopee run their own vouchers, and brand stores run their own promotions. Use the store's own vouchers rather than codes from outside sites.
- Trade-in. Apple and Samsung both take eligible old devices in part exchange, which can bring the price of a new phone down more than a voucher.
- Sale periods. Big online sale periods such as 9.9, 11.11, 12.12 and Black Friday are when many Singapore stores cut electronics prices. During those sales, go through ShopBack before you buy, because the sale price and the money back both apply.
- Student pricing. If you are a student or educator, Samsung's Education Store is worth a look.

Samsung vs Apple Store: comparing prices in Singapore
Samsung and Apple sell different devices, so the fair way to compare them is like for like: the same kind of device, at the same storage and screen size, with each store's trade-in and delivery counted. A few points to line up:
- The spec. Compare a phone or tablet at the same storage tier, not the entry model of one against a higher tier of the other.
- Trade-in. Count what each store offers for your old device.
- Delivery and returns. Apple delivers free; check Samsung's delivery and return terms for your order.
- Where else it is sold. Both brands also sell through official stores on LazMall and Shopee Mall, which can be cheaper on a sale day.
- The price after ShopBack. Apple Store Online, Samsung, Lazada and Shopee are all on ShopBack Singapore, so compare each store's effective price.
Samsung, Apple Store and Lazada: buying electronics in Singapore step by step
- Decide on the exact model, storage and colour.
- Check the brand's own store for price, trade-in and delivery.
- Check the official brand store on LazMall or Shopee Mall for the same model.
- Open the cheapest-looking store's page on ShopBack Singapore and tap through.
- Apply the store's own voucher or trade-in if it has one.
- Compare the price after ShopBack, then pay in the same session.
Why ShopBack is a step before you pay
Before you pay for an electronics order online, go through ShopBack first. Open ShopBack Singapore, tap the store (for electronics, that might be Apple Store Online, Samsung, Lazada or Shopee), and finish the order in the same session. ShopBack is a post-purchase discount: go through it before you pay and the effective price drops.
Cashback lowers what you actually pay for an order. It comes back as cash, so it works like a discount on the price, not like points or miles.
When comparing where to buy, the cheapest option is the one with the lowest effective price: the checkout price minus what comes back through ShopBack, not just the sticker price. A device that looks slightly dearer at one store can come out cheaper once what ShopBack returns is counted.
Codes and ShopBack. Vouchers from the store itself usually work when you go through ShopBack, but codes from outside sites can stop the order from tracking. Each store's page on ShopBack lists its terms, so read them before you apply a code.
