Samsung’s next Fan Edition smartphone has appeared in a leaked hands-on video, offering a detailed look at its design. The Galaxy S26 FE has not been officially confirmed by Samsung, but the 32-second video shows the handset from multiple angles and suggests a design closer to the standard Galaxy S26.
Galaxy S26 FE design and expected features
The leaked video, shared by Bradley (@VerdeSelvans) on X, shows the Galaxy S26 FE in blue with rounded corners and a flat rear panel. The phone appears to feature a vertical camera island with 3 sensors, following a design similar to the Galaxy S26. The LED flash is positioned beside the camera island. This differs from the Galaxy S25 FE, which has separate protrusions for its rear camera sensors.
The power and volume buttons are placed on the right side. The front appears to have a flat display with slim bezels and a centred hole-punch cutout for the selfie camera.
The video also reportedly shows the Galaxy S26 FE running Android 17 with One UI 9. It appears to include Galaxy AI features such as Photo Assist and Document Scan. The phone may also support Horizon Lock, a feature designed to keep video recordings level and stable even when the device is rotated 360 degrees.
The Galaxy S26 FE is expected to launch in September during IFA 2026. It is tipped to use Samsung’s Exynos 2500 chipset, paired with 12GB RAM and 256GB storage. The phone could feature a 6.7-inch display with a refresh rate of up to 120Hz.
For cameras, the smartphone is expected to have a triple rear camera setup led by a 50-megapixel primary sensor and a 12-megapixel front camera. Other tipped features include an IP68 rating for dust and water resistance, a 4,900mAh battery and 45W wired charging support.
