Deals: the Galaxy S26 FE is coming, Galaxy S26 series on sale, Nothing Phone (3) also discounted
Samsung has unveiled the Galaxy S26 FE, which features modest upgrades over its predecessor but comes at a higher price point. The article compares the new model to the existing S26 series and the budget-friendly Galaxy A57.
Why it matters
Consumer electronics pricing and feature sets directly influence purchasing decisions in the competitive smartphone market.
Samsung unveiled the Galaxy S26 FE earlier this week – the phone is set to go on sale on Friday next week (September 4). Unfortunately, the new model costs more than its predecessor despite bringing a rather short list of upgrades.
Samsung.com doesn’t even have a pre-order page yet - you can just sign up to be notified when the S26 FE becomes available. As for the upgrades, it uses the Exynos 2500 (also seen on the Z Flip7) and it comes with Android 17/One UI 9 out of the box. That’s it. The phone has a 6.7” 1080p+ (120Hz) display, 50+8+12MP cameras and a 4,900mAh battery with 45W wired and 15W wireless charging.
