Engadget’s review finds the Galaxy S26 FE offers a larger 6.7-inch 120Hz OLED and AI-powered software enhancements, but at a $700 price with modest upgrades (8GB RAM/128GB base, Exynos 2500, 4900mAh) and some sluggish camera performance, making it a hard sell against the S25 FE or rivals like the Pixel 10a.
Samsung unveiled the Galaxy S26 FE, set to go on sale Sept 4, with modest upgrades (Exynos 2500, Android 17/One UI 9, 6.7” 1080p+ 120Hz, 50+8+12MP cameras, 4,900mAh, 45W/15W) but at a higher price than the S25 FE and without a live pre-order page yet. The piece also covers the rest of the Galaxy S26 lineup (S26, S26+, S26 Ultra) with varying chips, displays, and camera setups and notable discounts, plus Nothing Phone (3) at around $700, featuring a 6.67” display, triple 50MP cameras, 5,150mAh battery and 65W charging. It also mentions Nothing 4a Pro and ongoing Galaxy Z Fold/Flip promos and promotions.
Samsung’s Galaxy S26 FE largely repeats last year’s hardware (6.7-inch OLED, 4,900mAh, triple camera) with a few upgrades—a new Exynos 2500 chip, a slightly wider 12MP selfie, and pistachio color alongside graphite/blue. RAM-driven price hikes bring it to $699.99 for 8GB/128GB and $799.99 for 256GB. Software adds My FanCam, Audio Eraser across third‑party apps, and new Now Brief/Now Nudge features borrowed from Samsung’s foldables, making this a modest refresh with a stronger software angle.
Samsung's Galaxy S26 FE brings flagship camera software features from higher-end models to a $700 phone, including Super Steady Video, My FanCam and Audio Eraser, along with a 6.7-inch display and seven years of updates. It starts at 128GB (256GB upgrade) and uses the Exynos 2500, with quick transfers via Smart Switch, but its 1,900-nit brightness and higher-than-average price versus rivals like the Pixel 10A and iPhone 17E temper the value.
Samsung unveils the Galaxy S26 FE at $699.99, a trimmed-down S26+ that drops some premium features to curb price amid RAM shortages. It borrows Fold-era One UI 9 AI tools (My FanCam, Now Brief, Now Nudge) and other Galaxy AI features (document scanner, audio eraser, Circle to Search). Hardware keeps the 6.7-inch 120Hz AMOLED display, 4,900mAh battery with 45W wired and 15W wireless charging, and the camera setup (50MP main, 12MP ultrawide, 8MP tele 3x, 12MP selfie) with 128/256GB storage and 8GB RAM. Colors are Blueberry, Pistachio, Graphite, and it goes on sale Sept. 3 with seven years of OS/security updates.

Samsung has announced an August 27 Galaxy Event, likely to unveil the Galaxy S26 FE; leaks suggest a 6.7-inch AMOLED, Full HD+ resolution with 120Hz, powered by Exynos 2500, and a triple camera setup (50MP main, 12MP ultrawide, 8MP tele); the livestream will begin on Samsung’s site and YouTube at 8:00 a.m. ET.
Samsung has invited media to an August 27 Galaxy Event, widely expected to unveil the Galaxy S26 FE as part of its Fan Edition strategy.

A massive leak (via Android Headlines with 28 marketing images) reveals nearly every detail of Samsung’s Galaxy S26 FE: a familiar Galaxy design with a vertical camera module, available in Blueberry, Graphite, and Pistachio; a 6.7-inch Full HD+ display at up to 120Hz; an Exynos 2500 chipset; 4,900mAh battery with 45W charging; a triple camera setup (50MP main, 12MP ultrawide, 8MP telephoto); IP68 rating; Android 17 with One UI 9 and seven years’ updates; and marketing materials that hint at the launch timeline, though pricing isn’t disclosed yet.
Leaked specs for the Galaxy S26 FE point to a 4,900 mAh battery with up to 45W charging but a 1,200-cycle rating (EU EPREL), signaling a shorter overall battery life than the S25 FE. The phone sticks to a 6.7” display, Exynos 2500 with 8GB RAM, and 128/256GB storage, with a triple rear camera setup (50MP main with OIS, 8MP tele, and an ultra-wide) and a 12MP front camera. It is expected to support Bluetooth 5.4, Wi‑Fi 6, NFC, dual SIM/eSIM, and IP68, with rumors of a €799 European price and $699 in the US and a September 4 unveiling.
An FCC filing suggests the Galaxy S26 FE includes both Samsung LSI and Qualcomm FastConnect hardware, signaling onboard Qualcomm connectivity tech (likely a 6 nm 4x4 chip) but not a Snapdragon CPU; the main SoC is still expected to be Exynos 2500, with 45W charging and a September 4 launch.
A Galaxy S26 FE firmware leak from SamMobile reveals a One UI 9.5 update banner in the update menu, but it doesn’t confirm the device will run 9.5. Samsung is expected to ship the S26 FE with One UI 9, while 9.5 may debut with the Galaxy S27 lineup in 2027; a beta program could arrive later this year. The leak also shows the FE’s default wallpapers are identical to those on the S26 series.
Rumors indicate the Galaxy S26 FE will reuse the S25 FE’s camera setup—50MP main, 8MP telephoto, and similar auxiliary sensors—offering little to no hardware upgrade, with a familiar design and potential price hikes.
Official-looking Galaxy S26 FE cases reveal green and purple color options, hinting at two hues for the upcoming affordable flagship; the leak also echoes prior specs rumors (6.7-inch display, 50MP main cam, 45W charging) and suggests a US price near $700.
