A set of new leaked images paired with a fresh FCC filing show more of what the Galaxy S26 FE looks like, and how close it is to launch.
The smartphone appeared in high-resolution images, confirming three colors: Black, Green, and Purple. Design-wise, it follows the standard Galaxy S26, with a single rear camera island housing all three lenses, the LED flash sitting beside it.
Up front, the phone has a flat display, thin bezels, and a centered punch-hole selfie camera. The bottom bezel looks slightly thicker than the rest, though the difference is small.
Galaxy S26 FE FCC listing
Separately, the phone has cleared FCC certification in the US, usually one of the last regulatory steps before a phone goes on sale. The filing doesn’t confirm the chipset, but it mentions that Samsung is using a Qualcomm chip for Wi-Fi, unlike Exynos on S25 FE.
The main chip powering the phone will still be in-house, likely the Exynos 2500, as shown in earlier Geekbench listings. However, Qualcomm for WiFi is a change from all-Exynos S25 FE.
The paperwork also confirms the same 45W wired charging as the outgoing model, along with wireless charging, NFC, Wi-Fi 6, and satellite connectivity. It may also retain the 4,900mAh battery with 45W wired charging, and feature a 6.7-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X display with a 120Hz refresh rate.
Between these renders, the test firmware that surfaced a few months back, and now the FCC approval, testing on the phone appears to be in its final stages. We are expecting launch in September, and the phone is likely to ship running One UI 9 on top of Android 17 out of the box.
In Europe, the 128GB model is tipped to start at €799, about €50 more than the previous version.
