Samsung Galaxy S26 FE review: The perfect cure for Samsung's recent price hike frenzy
The Samsung Galaxy S26 FE feels like an awkward release at first glance, but it may just be the low-cost flagship we need right now.
The Samsung Galaxy S26 FE is a mid-range smartphone that sits between the standard Galaxy S26 and the more affordable Galaxy A57. It offers a lower cost alternative to the regular Galaxy S26, while facing competition from the Galaxy A57. The phone's success is mainly driven by its low starting price, which has increased due to Samsung raising the prices of the rest of the Galaxy S26 series.
It comes with a 6.7-inch AMOLED display, a 120Hz refresh rate, Exynos 2500 chipset, and a 4,900 mAh battery that supports 45W wired and 15W wireless charging. The phone also features AI-powered features like My Fan Cam, Horizontal Lock, Document Scanner, Audio Eraser, Photo Assist, Now Brief, Now Nudge, and Circle to Search. However, it has weak performance, lacks upgrades compared to last year, and the Galaxy A57 is not far behind in terms of features.
