The Samsung Galaxy S26 FE is slated for an early September launch, joining the new Galaxy Tab S12 tablets. It has already passed FCC certification and has been spotted in multiple leaks, generating buzz among enthusiasts. The device is expected to bring a refreshed design and improved camera capabilities, positioning it as a strong competitor in the mid‑range segment.

A recent hands‑on video posted on X by user Bradley (@Verde Selvans) shows the device running Android 17 with One UI 9. The footage highlights a 6.7" AMOLED screen with a 120Hz refresh rate and a 4,900 mAh battery that supports 45W fast charging, mirroring the specifications of the Galaxy S25 FE.

Design-wise, the phone continues Samsung’s trend of an oval‑shaped camera island, and it is powered by the new Exynos 2500 SoC. Additionally, the 12MP ultrawide camera receives a fresh sensor, marking the primary hardware updates for the Samsung Galaxy S26 FE.

Pricing information from affiliate partners lists options such as 128GB/8GB for €475.26 and 256GB/8GB for €512.00, indicating the device will target the mid‑range market while delivering flagship‑level features. The pricing suggests the S26 FE will be competitively priced against other flagship‑midrange smartphones, making it attractive to budget‑conscious buyers.
