Galaxy S26 FE could reach Europe with a noticeably higher starting price than its predecessor, according to leaks pointing to an initial €799 for the 128 GB model — roughly €50 more than the previous Fan Edition.
Price leaks and launch window
Leaked pricing lists three configurations: 128 GB at €799, 256 GB at €899, and 512 GB at €1,099. Those figures represent increases of about €50, €90 and €170 respectively versus the prior FE launch prices. Samsung is reportedly planning to unveil the Galaxy S26 FE in late August 2026, with retail availability expected in the first week of September.
Design, colors and proof of existence
Color options said to be in the pipeline include Graphite, Aqua Green and a Blue/Purple shade. An image of the phone briefly appeared on the Wireless Power Consortium website, corroborating the device’s imminent existence and its support for wireless charging standards.
Expected specifications
According to current leaks, the Galaxy S26 FE will feature a 6.7-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X display in Full HD+, a 12 MP front camera and a rear camera module built around a 50 MP main sensor with optical image stabilization. The rear setup reportedly also includes a 12 MP ultrawide and an 8 MP telephoto offering 3x optical zoom. Under the hood would sit the Exynos 2500, manufactured on a 3 nm process. The phone is said to ship with Android 17 and One UI 9.0, and to be eligible for seven generations of system updates. Battery capacity is listed at 4,900 mAh with wired charging up to 45 W.
Why prices may be rising
Leaks attribute the price increases primarily to higher memory component costs — more expensive RAM and flash storage chips are cited as a likely driver of the higher retail pricing. This explanation comes from unconfirmed sources and has not been officially verified by Samsung.
Bottom line
While Samsung has yet to make a formal announcement, the current leaks sketch a clear picture of the Galaxy S26 FE’s technical package and indicate a firmer, higher-priced positioning for the Fan Edition compared with previous generations.
