Samsung has officially announced the latest addition to its flagship series, the Galaxy S26 FE, which became available on September 4. This "Fan Edition" model boasts a large screen and design similar to the Galaxy S26 and S26+, but with a new Exynos 2500 chip and the latest One UI 9 software. The device features a 6.7-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X display with a resolution of FHD+ and a refresh rate of 120 Hz.
The Galaxy S26 FE has a sleek design with a glass back and aluminum frame, measuring 161.6 x 76.9 x 7.4 mm and weighing 193 g. It is available in three colors: graphite, light green, and blue-violet. The phone's camera module has been redesigned to be more uniform and collect less dust. The device features a triple-camera setup with a 50 Mpx main sensor, a 12 Mpx ultra-wide-angle lens, and an 8 Mpx telephoto lens with 3x optical zoom.
The Galaxy S26 FE is powered by the Exynos 2500 chip with 8 GB of RAM, which is a downgrade compared to the Exynos 2600 chip in the standard S26 models. However, the device still offers impressive performance and features, including Galaxy AI capabilities such as Photo Assist, Audio Eraser, and My FanCam. The phone also comes with a 4900 mAh battery that can last up to 29 hours of video playback.
In terms of pricing, the Galaxy S26 FE starts at 799 euros in Europe for the 128 GB model, with the 256 GB and 512 GB variants priced at 899 euros and around 1099 euros, respectively. Although the phone is already listed on Samsung Morocco's website, the local pricing has not been announced yet. The device is available in three storage configurations without a microSD card slot.
The Galaxy S26 FE also features a 12 Mpx front camera with an improved field of view, and the device supports 45 W wired charging and 15 W wireless charging (Qi2). Samsung has committed to providing seven Android updates and seven years of security patches for the device. The phone's software experience is further enhanced by the latest One UI 9.
The Galaxy S26 FE is set to offer a premium experience at a relatively affordable price point. With its large screen, powerful chip, and advanced camera capabilities, the device is likely to appeal to fans of the Samsung brand. The phone's availability in Morocco and other markets is expected to be announced soon.
As the Galaxy S26 FE hits the shelves, consumers can expect a device that offers a balance of performance, features, and affordability. With its impressive specs and sleek design, the phone is poised to be a strong contender in the market.
