Gizmodo • • general
Key Points:
- Samsung has launched the Galaxy S26 FE, a more affordable "Fan Edition" variant of the Galaxy S26+ priced at $699.99, which is $50 higher than last year's S25 FE due to ongoing RAM shortages.
- The S26 FE incorporates some One UI 9 features from Samsung’s Z Fold 8, including AI-powered My FanCam for motion tracking in videos, custom card widgets with "Now Brief," and proactive suggestions via "Now Nudge."
- It retains the same camera resolutions as the S26+ but upgrades the main and ultrawide sensors for sharper images and improved low-light performance, along with a 6.7-inch 120Hz AMOLED display and a 4,900mAh battery supporting fast charging.
- The device comes with 8GB RAM and options for 128GB or 256GB storage, offers seven years of OS and security updates, and will be available in Blueberry, Pistachio, and Graphite colors starting September 3.
- Despite being a stripped-down model, the S26 FE includes advanced Galaxy AI features like a document scanner, audio eraser, and enhanced Circle to Search functionality.
