Samsung’s Galaxy S26 FE Offers Semi-Premium Features at Value
Samsung’s Galaxy S26 FE is a new smartphone designed to cost less than the company’s most expensive models.
It has a large, colorful screen that can refresh up to 120 times per second.
The phone is fairly light and has metal sides to make it easier to hold.
It should handle everyday tasks such as watching videos, using social media, and checking email.
It also includes several artificial-intelligence features from Samsung’s more expensive phones.
Its cameras include a zoom camera that some competing phones do not have.
However, the phone has only 128GB of storage, which may fill up quickly.
The reviewer has not finished testing the battery or camera.
Samsung has not yet revealed the phone’s price in India, so its value is still uncertain.
The Galaxy S26 FE weighs 193 grams and has brushed aluminium sides, a 6.7-inch AMOLED display, and a 120Hz refresh rate.
It uses an Exynos 2500 processor, 8GB of RAM, 128GB of storage, and a 4,900mAh battery with wired and wireless charging.
The phone runs Android 17 with One UI 9 and includes features such as Now Nudge, Audio Eraser, Gemini Live, and Circle to Search.
Its cameras include a 50-megapixel main sensor, 12-megapixel ultrawide, 8-megapixel 3x telephoto, and 12-megapixel selfie camera.
Samsung has not announced the India price; the phone is expected to reach retail shelves on September 18 and costs $700 internationally.
