Samsung has officially launched the Galaxy S26 FE. The device brings an Exynos 2500 chip, a 4900mAh battery, and is the first to arrive with One UI 9 out of the box. Pricing starts at $699.99 for the base model.
Up front, the phone features a 6.7 inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X screen with FHD+ resolution and a smooth 120Hz refresh rate. Peak brightness hits 1900 nits, keeping the display readable under bright sunlight. The body measures 161.6 by 76.9 by 7.4 millimeters and weighs 193 grams. Samsung also gave the chassis an IP68 rating to handle dust and water immersion. Color options include Graphite, Blueberry, and Pistachio, with matching protective cases that feature a centered magnetic ring for wireless accessories.
Daily performance relies on the Exynos 2500 processor. The chip works alongside 8GB of memory and comes with either 128GB or 256GB of onboard storage. The phone ships with the latest Android 17 operating system underneath the new One UI 9 interface. Power comes from a 4900mAh battery that matches previous capacity levels. Using a 45W adapter fills 65% of the battery in about 30 minutes, and 15W wireless charging is ready for cable free top ups.
The rear panel houses a triple camera setup for varied shooting situations. You get a 50MP main sensor, a 12MP ultra wide lens, and an 8MP telephoto camera with 3x optical zoom. The front facing camera is upgraded to 12MP with a wider field of view for group selfies. Video creators also get a horizontal lock tool that keeps the horizon steady during heavy motion. Shaky recordings stay flat even when you walk or jog.
