The Galaxy S26 FE battery is now all but confirmed, and it’s disappointing
A new certification confirms the Galaxy S26 FE will keep a 4,900mAh battery, even as Samsung is rumored to adopt silicon-carbon technology.
Samsung's Galaxy S26 FE is set to launch later this week, but the battery capacity has been confirmed to be disappointing. Brazilian regulatory body Anatel has certified the phone with a 4,900mAh battery, which is the same as the previous year's Galaxy S25 FE. This news is particularly disappointing, especially when earlier reports suggested Samsung might switch to more advanced silicon-carbon battery technology.
While the battery size remains unchanged, the certification lends more credibility to the idea that Samsung may be using this capacity to make the phone slimmer. Other specifications of the Galaxy S26 FE, such as Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.4, NFC, and a 25W charger, have also been confirmed. The phone is expected to feature a 6.7-inch 120Hz AMOLED display, along with 8GB of RAM and either 128GB or 256GB of storage.
The Exynos 2500 processor, replacing the Exynos 2400 used in the S25 FE, will power the device, although it still falls short of the Exynos 2600 currently found in the regular Galaxy S26 series. The rear camera setup will remain consistent with the previous model, with a 50MP main sensor, 12MP ultrawide lens, and 8MP 3x telephoto lens. The upcoming Galaxy event on August 27 will reveal more details about the S26 FE and its features.
