The event will take place on Thursday, August 27, and will be live-streamed on Samsung.com and YouTube, commencing at 12pm UTC (5.30pm IST). Although the device has not been officially named, industry insiders anticipate it to be the Galaxy S26 FE.\n\nAccording to leaked marketing images, the Galaxy S26 FE will be offered in Blueberry, Graphite, and Pistachio colour variants. The phone is expected to boast a flat display with Gorilla Glass Victus+ protection, an aluminium frame, and a slim profile of 7.4mm in thickness. In terms of durability, a leaked EPREL label has hinted at the device receiving A ratings for energy efficiency, drop resistance, and IP68 dust and water resistance, but a C rating for repairability.\n\nThe Galaxy S26 FE is anticipated to feature a 6.7-inch AMOLED display with Full-HD+ resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. It will be powered by the Exynos 2500 chipset, a shift from the S25 FE. The device is said to contain a 4,900mAh battery with support for 45W wired charging, offering 1,200 charge cycles and up to 50 hours of endurance on a single charge. The imaging capabilities of the Galaxy S26 FE are expected to include a vertically aligned triple rear camera setup with a 50-megapixel main sensor, a 12-megapixel ultrawide lens, and an 8-megapixel telephoto unit, along with a 12-megapixel front-facing camera. Software-wise, Samsung is reportedly providing seven years of Android OS and security updates, as well as innovative features such as Horizontal Lock, My FanCam, and Audio Eraser.\n\nHowever, it is important to note that none of these specifications have been officially confirmed by Samsung. The company is expected to disclose the full details of the Galaxy S26 FE, including pricing and availability, during the August 27 event.",
