Samsung has officially launched the Galaxy S26 FE, succeeding the Galaxy S25 FE as the latest addition to its upper mid-range smartphone lineup. The new smartphone features a 6.7-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X display with a 120Hz refresh rate, an Exynos 2500 chipset, and a triple-camera setup with 3x optical zoom. It also comes with the latest One UI 9 based on Android 17 and a 4,900mAh battery. In this article, I will cover everything you need to know about the Samsung Galaxy S26 FE, including its specifications, features, availability, and expected price in Nepal.
Starting with the design, the Galaxy S26 FE retains Samsung’s familiar smartphone aesthetic with an aluminum frame and glass back. The phone features a triple-camera setup arranged vertically on the rear, along with a flat frame and a clean overall design. It measures 7.4mm thick and weighs around 193g, making it relatively slim and lightweight. The device also carries an IP68 rating for protection against dust and water. It is available in Graphite, Pistachio, and Blueberry color options.
Moving on to the display, the Galaxy S26 FE sports a 6.7-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X display with an FHD+ resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. The panel can reach up to 1,900 nits of brightness, which should make it easier to view the screen outdoors. The display also supports switching between 60Hz and 120Hz depending on the user's preference.
For photography, the Galaxy S26 FE features a triple-camera setup on the rear, consisting of a 50MP main camera with OIS, a 12MP ultrawide camera, and an 8MP telephoto camera with OIS and 3x optical zoom. On the front, it gets an upgraded 12MP selfie camera. Samsung has also added features such as My FanCam, which can track a selected person and keep them centered in videos, along with Super Steady with Horizontal Lock for smoother footage.
As for the battery, the Galaxy S26 FE packs a 4,900mAh battery with support for 45W wired charging. Samsung claims the phone can reach up to 69% charge in around 30 minutes using a 45W adapter. It also supports 15W wireless charging and Wireless PowerShare.
Under the hood, the Galaxy S26 FE is powered by Samsung's Exynos 2500 chipset, built on a 3nm process. We saw it in Samsung's flagship Galaxy Z Flip 7 last year. This chip should provide enough performance for everyday tasks, multitasking, and gaming.
The phone comes with 8GB of RAM and is available with up to 512GB of storage. This should provide enough performance for everyday tasks, multitasking, and gaming, while the higher storage option gives users more room for apps, photos, videos, and other files.
On the software side, the Galaxy S26 FE runs Android 17 with One UI 9 out of the box. Samsung also promises seven generations of OS upgrades and seven years of security updates, giving the phone long-term software support.
The Galaxy S26 FE also brings several Galaxy AI features through One UI 9. Photo Assist allows users to edit images using natural-language prompts, while Gemini Omni can create and edit video clips using photos and videos from the Gallery. Samsung has also updated “Now Brief” with customizable cards and expanded “Now Nudge” to select third-party apps and notifications. Meanwhile, Circle to Search can now identify multiple items in an image at once.
The Samsung Galaxy S26 FE is officially announced in the US with a starting price of USD 699.99 for the 8/128GB variant. If Samsung officially launches the Galaxy S26 FE in Nepal, we can expect the Samsung Galaxy S26 FE price in Nepal to be around NPR 1,06,999 for the base variant.
