Samsung Galaxy S26 FE specs, launch date and European pricing revealed

Samsung Galaxy S26 FE camera reuse Exynos 2500 45W charging European pricing

Samsung has confirmed that its next Fan Edition smartphone, the Galaxy S26 FE (internal codename “r14”), is slated for launch in early September 2026, likely at the IFA trade show in Berlin. The device will reuse the camera hardware of the previous Galaxy S25 FE, featuring a 50 MP ISOCELL GN3 main sensor, an 8 MP OmniVision OV08A1 telephoto lens, and two 12 MP sensors (GalaxyCore GC12A2 and Sony IMX825) for the ultra‑wide and selfie cameras, though the exact allocation remains unclear.

The phone will be powered by Samsung’s Exynos 2500 processor, paired with 8–12 GB of RAM, a 4.9–5.0 Ah battery and support 45 W wired fast charging (some reports also note 15 W wireless charging). It will sport a 6.7‑inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X display with a 120 Hz refresh rate. European pricing is expected to start around €749 for the base 128 GB model and rise to €1,099 for the top‑end variant, representing a €50‑€170 increase over the S25 FE.

Analysts note that the reuse of camera modules and the modest hardware upgrades may disappoint users seeking major improvements, while rising component costs could pressure the device’s price‑to‑value proposition.
