Samsung’s next Fan Edition smartphone could arrive soon, with recent certification listings adding to expectations around its launch. While the company has not officially announced the Galaxy S26 FE, leaked European pricing indicates that the upcoming model could cost more than the Galaxy S25 FE.
According to a report citing tipster billbil-kun, the Galaxy S26 FE could launch on September 1. The timeline is similar to previous Fan Edition launches. The Galaxy S25 FE, for instance, was launched on September 15, 2025.
The Galaxy S26 FE is expected to come in 3 storage options in France. The 128GB variant could be priced at EUR 749, roughly Rs. 82,000. The 256GB model is expected to cost EUR 809, around Rs. 88,500, while the 512GB version could be priced at EUR 929, approximately Rs. 1.01 lakh.
The leaked European pricing points to a significant increase over the previous model. In India, the Galaxy S25 FE started at Rs. 59,999 for the 8GB + 128GB variant. The 8GB + 256GB and 8GB + 512GB models were priced at Rs. 65,999 and Rs. 77,999, respectively.
Samsung also offered a free storage upgrade, allowing customers purchasing the 256GB version to receive the 512GB model at no additional cost.
While Samsung removed the 128GB option from its Galaxy S26 series, the Fan Edition model is expected to retain it. The phone could be offered in Graphite and Water Green (Aqua Green), with a possible third Blue or Violet colour.
Earlier leaks suggest the Galaxy S26 FE could use the Exynos 2500 SoC. It has also reportedly appeared on a certification database with 45W charging support, matching its predecessor.
The Indian version has already appeared on the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) website, suggesting that an India launch could follow soon after the global debut.
