The Galaxy S26 FE is expected to sport a 6.7-inch AMOLED display with Full-HD+ resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. Powering the device will reportedly be the Exynos 2500 chipset, a change that had already been hinted at via Google Play Console listings. The phone is said to pack a 4,900mAh battery with support for 45W wired charging, rated for 1,200 charge cycles and up to 50 hours of endurance on a single charge, an improvement over the S25 FE's 2,000-cycle rating but shorter 42 hours and 37 minutes of endurance.
For imaging, the Galaxy S26 FE is tipped to come with a vertically aligned triple rear camera setup comprising a 50-megapixel main sensor, a 12-megapixel ultrawide camera, and an 8-megapixel telephoto unit, while a 12-megapixel sensor is expected to handle selfies at the front. On the software side, Samsung is said to be offering seven years of Android OS and security updates, along with features such as Horizontal Lock, My FanCam, and Audio Eraser.
None of the specifications have been officially confirmed by Samsung so far. The company is expected to reveal full details of the Galaxy S26 FE, including pricing and availability, at the August 27 event.
