With the expected launch still a few weeks away, the Samsung Galaxy S26 FE has appeared in a fresh leak that gives a closer look at its design and colour options. The renders suggest that the upcoming Fan Edition model will closely resemble the standard Galaxy S26.
The leaked images show the Galaxy S26 FE in black, green and purple finishes. The official names of these colours remain unknown. The handset’s overall design appears similar to the Galaxy S26, which was launched earlier this year.
The rear panel features a slightly raised camera area in the top-left corner. The vertically arranged camera module houses 3 sensors, with an LED flash positioned alongside it. This marks a change from the Galaxy S25 FE, which features separate camera rings for its rear sensors.
The leaked renders also show a flat rear panel and flat frame. The power button and volume rocker are placed on the right side. On the front, the phone appears to have thin bezels and a centred hole-punch cutout for the selfie camera. The bottom bezel looks slightly thicker than the other 3 sides.
The Galaxy S26 FE is expected to launch in September, potentially during IFA 2026. The phone was recently spotted in the US FCC database, where its listing reportedly pointed to a Qualcomm-made local networking chip alongside an Exynos modem.
The handset is expected to use Samsung’s in-house Exynos 2500 chipset and could come with 12GB of RAM. It is also tipped to run Android 17 with Samsung’s One UI 9.
Previous leaks suggest the Galaxy S26 FE could carry an IP68 rating for dust and water resistance. The smartphone is also expected to feature a 6.7-inch AMOLED display and a 5,000mAh battery supporting 45W wired and 15W wireless charging.
