All You Need to Know About Samsung Galaxy S26 FE Ahead of Launch

Samsung's upcoming Galaxy S26 FE has appeared in a major leak revealing nearly its entire specification sheet, including a new processor, cameras, display, battery and expected pricing.

According to information obtained by WinFuture, Samsung will replace the Exynos 2400 used in previous FE models with the newer Exynos 2500. The chipset is manufactured on Samsung's 3nm Gate-All-Around process and features a 10-core CPU and an Xclipse 950 GPU based on AMD's RDNA 3 architecture.

The Galaxy S26 FE will reportedly feature a 6.7-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X display with a 2,340 × 1,080 resolution and 120Hz refresh rate.

Typical brightness is listed at 1,200 nits, increasing to 1,900 nits in high-brightness mode.

The phone is expected to measure 7.4mm thick and weigh 193g, making it 3g heavier than its predecessor. It will also carry an IP68 rating for dust and water resistance.

Samsung will reportedly pair the Exynos 2500 with 8GB of RAM and offer 128GB and 256GB storage options. There will be no microSD card slot.

Connectivity will include Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.4, NFC, a dual-SIM tray and support for one or two eSIMs.

Samsung is expected to retain the 50MP f/1.8 main camera and 8MP f/2.4 telephoto camera with 3x optical zoom from the previous model.

The ultrawide camera will receive a new 12MP sensor, while another 12MP camera with an f/2.2 fixed-focus lens will handle selfies.

The main camera will support 8K video recording at 30fps and 4K recording at 60fps.

The Galaxy S26 FE will reportedly retain a 4,900 mAh battery with 45W wired and 15W wireless charging.

Despite keeping the same capacity, the phone is rated for up to 50 hours of typical use, compared with 42 hours and 37 minutes for its predecessor.

However, its EPREL battery rating reportedly drops from 2,000 charge cycles on the Galaxy S25 FE to 1,200 cycles. There has been speculation that Samsung may use a silicon-carbon battery, although this has not been confirmed.

The 128GB Galaxy S26 FE is expected to cost €800, representing a €50 increase over the Galaxy S25 FE's €750 launch price.

Samsung has not yet confirmed when the Galaxy S26 FE will launch. However, its predecessor arrived in September, making a launch in the coming weeks possible.

None of the leaked specifications or pricing have been officially confirmed by Samsung.
