Samsung has unveiled the Galaxy S26 FE, a modest refresh that retains most of the S25 FE’s hardware while adding software features previously introduced on Samsung’s 2026 flagship and foldable phones. The limited changes and higher price make its position in Samsung’s range more difficult to justify, particularly as discounted higher-end models are relatively close in price.

The phone keeps a 6.7-inch OLED display, 4,900mAh battery and triple rear cameras, but moves to an Exynos 2500 chip and a wider 12-megapixel front camera with an 85-degree field of view. US prices start at $699.99 for 8GB RAM and 128GB storage, $50 above the S25 FE, while the 256GB model costs $799.99; new features include AI video tracking, expanded Audio Eraser support, steadier video recording, and AI-based Now Brief and Now Nudge tools.
