Samsung is busy this week for its Unpacked event where it will unveil new Galaxy foldables. But Samsung’s next Fan Edition phone and its upcoming tablet lineup have also turned up in a regulatory filing.
A new report from Android Authority reveals the Galaxy S26 FE and Galaxy Tab S12 have appeared in an internal list inside the Google app, one that tracks devices set to offer a free trial of Google’s paid AI subscription.
The Galaxy Z Fold 8 and Z Flip 8 already sit on that same list, and the addition of the S26 FE and Tab S12 suggests both devices are moving closer to launch.
What to expect?
Other recent reports have added more detail on what to expect from each device. The Galaxy Tab S12 Ultra is expected to retain a design similar to the Tab S11 Ultra, including the V-shaped notch housing the front camera.
The tablet is said to measure 326.34 x 208.46 x 5.12 mm, nearly identical in size and thickness to its predecessor. It’s expected to have a single front camera and two rear cameras, though exact megapixel counts haven’t been revealed yet.
The Tab S12 Ultra is also tipped to run on MediaTek’s Dimensity 9500 chip, with 12GB or 16GB of RAM and storage options of 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB. It should launch with One UI 9.0 and get six years of Android updates.
On the phone side, the Galaxy S26 FE follows Samsung’s 2026 design direction, with a raised camera bump and a flat frame. A Geekbench listing shows the phone’s board labeled s5e9955, which lines up with the Exynos 2500 chip and a 1+2+5+2 core layout. Its display is also shaping up to be a bigger change: reports point to an OLED panel from China’s BOE, marking the first time Samsung has brought in an outside screen maker for an FE model instead of relying on its own display unit.
Samsung is expected to unveil both the Galaxy S26 FE and the Galaxy Tab S12 lineup in September, following last year’s launch pattern for both product lines.
