The Samsung Galaxy S26 FE had its complete technical sheet leaked on the German portal WinFuture, anticipating the details of the new smartphone scheduled to be presented in early September. The reveal, which took place on August 10, 2026, shows that the device maintains the Fan Edition line’s strategy of integrating a previous generation processor, which allows it to offer cutting-edge features at a more affordable cost.

The new Galaxy S26 FE will hit the market with a redesigned chassis, featuring a thickness reduced to 7.4 millimeters and a weight of 193 grams. The construction of the device includes IP68 certification, guaranteeing resistance against water and dust, an important difference for the device’s durability. Consumers will be able to choose between three colors: Graphite (dark gray), Pistachio (light green) and Blueberry (light blue), following a modern palette and aligned with the brand’s visual identity.
Dynamic AMOLED screen details and brightness
The Galaxy S26 FE’s visual experience is driven by a 6.7-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X panel on the front. This display offers Full HD+ resolution of 2340 x 1080 pixels and a variable refresh rate of up to 120 Hz, providing fluidity for browsing and gaming. Additionally, the display achieves a typical brightness of 1,200 nits, with peaks of up to 1,900 nits in High Brightness Mode (HBM), which ensures excellent visibility even in bright sunlight.
Exynos 2500 processor and storage capacity
At the heart of the Galaxy S26 FE is the Exynos 2500 platform, a deca-core chipset with a maximum frequency of up to 3.3 GHz, which made its previous debut in the Galaxy Z Flip 7. The choice of a chip already known from past generations is a striking feature of the FE line, seeking to balance high-level performance with a competitive price. The device will come with 8 GB of RAM and 128 GB or 256 GB internal flash storage options, with no possibility of expansion via micro SD card.
Operating system and advanced connectivity
The smartphone will be launched running the Android 17 operating system, which will work in conjunction with Samsung’s proprietary One UI interface. In terms of connectivity, the Galaxy S26 FE supports Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax), Bluetooth 5.4, and NFC for contactless payments. For users’ flexibility, the device has a tray for two physical nano-SIM cards and full built-in compatibility for up to two eSIMs.

Advanced cameras and video recording options
The rear photographic module of the Galaxy S26 FE maintains the three-sensor configuration, a feature present in the brand’s high-performance models. The main camera is equipped with a 50 MP sensor, f/1.8 aperture and hardware optical image stabilization (OIS). Complementing the set is an ultrawide lens with a 12 MP sensor (f/2.2) and an 8 MP telephoto lens (f/2.4) with 3x optical zoom, ideal for detailed captures from a distance. For selfies and calls, the front camera has a 12 MP sensor with f/2.2 aperture. The main camera system is capable of recording videos in stunning 8K resolution at 30 frames per second, or in 4K at 60 fps.
Long battery life and fast charging
The autonomy of the new smartphone is guaranteed by a 4,900 mAh battery. The component is likely to adopt silicon-carbon technology, which optimizes internal space for a larger cell. The battery supports fast charging of up to 45W, promising autonomy of up to 50 hours of typical use, according to estimates. According to the EPREL standard, the module has an estimated useful life of 1,200 charge cycles, in line with the durability parameters adopted by Samsung in its most recent foldable devices, which provides greater confidence to the consumer about the longevity of the device.
Estimated price and official announcement date
Previously leaked information suggests that Samsung should readjust the suggested price of the device in Europe to €799, a value that is close to R$4,700 in direct conversion. The expectation in the technology market is that the Galaxy S26 FE will be officially announced in early September 2026, with more details about global availability and final prices being released at that time.
