The Fan Edition Adopts the S26 Camera Island

Galaxy S26 FE moves its three rear sensors into a shared camera island, replacing the prominent individual rings of the S25 FE. Leaked blue, black, and light-green finishes otherwise retain Samsung’s restrained flagship-family look.

The Screen and Cameras Stay Familiar

The phone is expected to use a 6.7-inch 2340×1080 AMOLED display at 120Hz. Its camera set includes a 50MP main sensor, an 8MP 3x telephoto, a likely 12MP ultrawide, and a 12MP front camera—very close to the previous Fan Edition formula.

Battery Capacity Climbs to 4,900mAh

The rumored silicon-carbon battery supports 45W wired charging. Exynos 2500, 8GB of RAM, 128GB or 256GB storage, Android 17, and One UI 9 fill out a package that remains 7.4mm thick while increasing slightly to 193 grams.

The Affordable Flagship May Become Less Affordable

French pricing is expected to start at €799, €50 above the S25 FE despite modest hardware changes. That makes the new design and battery the clearest upgrades—and puts more pressure on discounts to preserve the value implied by the FE name.
