Here’s what we may expect from the Galaxy S26 FE, based on a huge amount of recent leaks, certifications and rumours:
Galaxy S26 FE Specifications (Expected)
The Galaxy S26 FE is expected to have a 6.7-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X flat display with a smooth 120Hz refresh rate and Full-HD+ resolution. It’s going to be made from Gorilla Glass Victus+ and an aluminium frame, and it measures 7.4mm thick and has an IP68 classification for dust and water resilience and an “A” rating for drop resistance. It is supposed to be offered in three colours: Blueberry, Graphite and Pistachio.
On the performance side of things, the gadget will be powered by Samsung’s powerful 3nm Exynos 2500 processor and run on the latest version of One UI. Samsung promises to maintain the gadget for seven years with Android OS and security upgrades, which is a good sign that it will have a solid support system over its life cycle. The Galaxy S26 FE will also include AI features that were passed down from the flagship series, with innovative features like Horizontal Lock, My FanCam and Audio Eraser, which enhance user engagement and the shooting experience.
Photography will be a big part of the package with a triple rear lens camera system that includes a 50MP main sensor with Optical Image Stabilisation, a 12MP ultra-wide lens, and an 8MP telephoto lens with 3x optical zoom. Up front, a 12MP selfie camera is likely to let you take high-quality selfies and video calls.
The gadget is tipped to have a 4,900mAh silicon-carbon battery which is said to provide an estimated use period of up to 50 hours on a single charge. The battery is rated for 1,200 charge cycles, which is promising for lifespan. The charging capabilities will consist of 45W wired fast charging, 15W wireless and 15W reverse wireless power sharing, so consumers have versatile power choices.
