Samsung’s latest Fan Edition phone is heading to India, and the company has now locked in the pricing, colors, and launch deals.
The Galaxy S26 FE will start at ₹79,999 for the only configuration confirmed so far: 8GB RAM + 256GB storage. It’ll be available in three colors: Pistachio, Blueberry, and Graphite. Sales kick off on September 18 through Samsung’s own online store, major e-commerce sites, and select retail outlets.
Earlier retailer leaks had suggested a possible ₹69,999 price for a 128GB model alongside the ₹79,999 256GB version, which sparked talk that the lower-storage option might show up during festive sales. Officially, though, only the 256GB model is confirmed at launch.
Samsung is sweetening the deal with a few launch offers, but you can only pick one. There’s an upgrade bonus of up to ₹8,000 if you trade in an eligible older phone. Alternatively, you can go for up to 30 months of no-cost EMI through select NBFC partners (which also throws in an extra ₹3,000 upgrade bonus). A third option gives you ₹7,000 cashback on major bank cards or a 12-month no-cost bank EMI. Buying from Samsung’s e-store also unlocks an 18-month bank EMI facility.
On the specs side, the S26 FE packs a 6.7″ FHD+ Dynamic AMOLED 2X display with 120Hz refresh rate and peak brightness up to 1,900 nits. It’s powered by the Exynos 2500 (built on a 3nm process) paired with 8GB of RAM. The rear cameras include a 50MP main sensor with OIS, a 12MP ultrawide, and an 8MP telephoto with 3x optical zoom and OIS. Up front there’s a 12MP selfie camera. Battery capacity is 4,900mAh, with 45W wired charging (Samsung claims it can reach about 69% in around 30 minutes with a compatible charger) and 15W wireless charging.
The phone measures 161.6 × 76.9 × 7.4 mm, weighs 193g, and carries an IP68 rating. It ships with One UI 9 based on Android 17, and Samsung is promising up to seven generations of OS upgrades plus seven years of security updates.
