The Galaxy S26 FE is expected to follow the design language of the other Galaxy S26 phones, including a pill-shaped camera module. Samsung launched the Galaxy S25 FE in September last year, making an August launch for its successor quite possible. Samsung Galaxy S26 FE expected specifications Samsung has not confirmed the specifications of the Galaxy S26 FE yet. However, several leaks have already given us an idea of what the phone could offer.
– New design The Galaxy S26 FE is expected to get a redesigned look. Reports suggest that it could feature a pill-shaped rear camera module similar to the other Galaxy S26 models. The phone may come with a flat aluminium frame and a flat rear panel. It is expected to be around 7.4mm thick and could also have an IP68 rating, offering protection against dust and water. The smartphone may be available in three colours: Blueberry, Graphite, and Pistachio. – 6.7-inch AMOLED display The Galaxy S26 FE is expected to feature a 6.7-inch FHD+ AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate. The screen could also come with Gorilla Glass Victus+ protection. The high refresh rate should make scrolling, animations, and gaming feel smoother. – Exynos 2500 processor The phone is expected to be powered by Samsung’s Exynos 2500 chipset. The processor is based on a 3nm manufacturing process and could offer an upgrade in performance and efficiency. The Galaxy S26 FE may pack a 4,900mAh battery, similar to the Galaxy S25 FE. It is also expected to support 45W wired charging. – Triple rear camera setup The Galaxy S26 FE could feature a triple-camera setup on the back. Leaks suggest that the setup may include: For selfies and video calls, the phone is expected to have a 12-megapixel front camera. More AI features Samsung is also expected to bring new AI-powered features to the Galaxy S26 FE. The phone could run Android 17 with One UI 9 out of the box. It may also receive seven years of software updates, giving buyers long-term support. Galaxy S26 FE expected price in India Samsung has not revealed the price of the Galaxy S26 FE yet. However, reports suggest that the phone could start at around $799 in the US, which is roughly Rs 76,000. This would make it considerably more expensive than the Galaxy S25 FE, which started at $649 in the US. In India, the Galaxy S25 FE was launched at ₹59,999. If the reports about higher global pricing are accurate, the Galaxy S26 FE could also arrive at a higher price in India. The ongoing memory supply crunch could be another factor that pushes smartphone prices higher. For now, these details are based on leaks and reports. Samsung is expected to reveal the official specifications, pricing, and availability during its August 27 Galaxy Event.
